よくある間違い

Do not add 'already' (ແລ້ວ) to future tense markers as it creates a contradiction.

Wrong: ຂ້ອຍຈະໄປແລ້ວ (I will go already)
正解: ຂ້ອຍຈະໄປ (I will go)

Adding 'dai' (get to) changes the meaning to 'having the opportunity' rather than simple future.

Wrong: ຂ້ອຍສິໄດ້ໄປ (I will get to go)
正解: ຂ້ອຍສິໄປ (I will go)

Use 'si' for natural phenomena and predictions rather than 'cha'.

Wrong: ຝົນຈະຕົກ (The rain will fall - but used for scheduled plans)
正解: ຝົນສິຕົກ (The rain will fall - natural prediction)
