Always look at the last letter of the noun. If it's -as or -a, it's a prime candidate for -ą.

Review Summary

  • Subject + Verb + Noun (-a -> -ą / -as -> -ą)

Erreurs courantes

You used the Nominative case instead of the Accusative. Nouns receiving an action need the special ending.

Wrong: Aš skaitau knyga.
Correct: Aš skaitau knygą.

Remember to drop the nominative ending and apply the accusative one for masculine nouns.

Wrong: Aš valgau obuolys.
Correct: Aš valgau obuolį.

This is actually correct! Pronouns also change in the accusative, which is a great next step.

Wrong: Matau tave.
Correct: Matau tave.
