Review Summary

  • Subject + Stem + da + Auxiliary

Errores comunes

You used the infinitive instead of the habitual stem. Always strip the -na and add -da.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਖਾਣਾ ਹੈ (Main khana hai)
Correcto: ਮੈਂ ਖਾਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ (Main khanda haan)

Remember to drop the 'na' before adding the tense marker.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਨਾ ਹਾਂ (Main parhna haan)
Correcto: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਦਾ ਹਾਂ (Main parhda haan)

Don't forget the 'haan' (am/is/are) auxiliary verb at the end!

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਸੌਂਦਾ (Main saunda)
Correcto: ਮੈਂ ਸੌਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ (Main saunda haan)
