सामान्य गलतियाँ

Adverbs of manner often sound better after the object in Croatian to avoid breaking the flow.

Wrong: Ja radim brzo posao.
सही: Ja radim posao brzo.

Students often place adverbs at the very end when they should be closer to the verb.

Wrong: On je često ovdje.
सही: On je često ovdje (this is actually correct, but often confused with word order).

Time adverbs don't change the need for correct verb conjugation.

Wrong: Sutra ja učiti.
सही: Sutra ću učiti.
