اشتباهات رایج

Future negation requires 'မ' and 'ဘူး', not the future particle 'မည်'.

Wrong: မသွားမည်
صحیح: မသွားဘူး

Adjectives take 'လိမ့်မည်' instead of 'မည်' in the future tense.

Wrong: လှမည်
صحیح: လှလိမ့်မည်

Ensure you distinguish between asking about future intent versus current action.

Wrong: သွားမလား
صحیح: သွားမလား (This is actually correct, but often confused with present usage)
