Review Summary
- [Subject] + [L-Participle] (No 'e/ca' in 3rd person)
- Verb Stem + -ейки / -айки
- Noun + [Preposition] + който/която/което/които
よくある間違い
In the renarrative mood, the 3rd person singular/plural auxiliary (e/ca) must be dropped. Including it makes it Present Perfect.
Using a perfective verb (дойде) with 'докато' for background duration is incorrect. Use imperfective (идваше).
Bulgarian prefers placing the preposition before the relative pronoun (с когото) rather than at the end of the clause.
