सामान्य गलतियाँ
Do not combine duration markers with frequency markers. Use one or the other based on whether you mean duration or frequency.
In Thai, you can often omit the subject in the second clause if it is the same person.
Use 'ma' and 'laew' to show that the duration has been ongoing up to the present moment.
