Review Summary
- Verb stem + (-il / -in) + tense + personal suffix
Erreurs courantes
In passive voice, the doer ('U') should not be the subject. The object becomes the subject.
Do not double the passive suffix. 'Ochildi' is already passive; 'ochilindi' is redundant.
The passive suffix is missing, so it sounds like the book is doing the reading.
