Review Summary

  • 3rd person present stem + -ant/-int

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You used a participle (einantis) instead of a padalyvis (einant). The participle describes the person, the padalyvis describes the circumstance.

Wrong: Einantis į darbą, jis dainuoja.
सही: Einant į darbą, jis dainuoja.

While 'skaitydamas' is a valid adverbial participle, using the padalyvis 'skaitant' is more standard for impersonal or general circumstances.

Wrong: Jis dirba skaitydamas.
सही: Jis dirba skaitant.

The padalyvis requires a clear logical connection to the main verb's action.

Wrong: Jie einant namo.
सही: Jiems einant namo, lyja.
