よくある間違い

Lao verbs do not change based on the subject. Do not add endings.

Wrong: ຂ້ອຍກິນສ໌ (I eats)
正解: ຂ້ອຍກິນ (I eat)

You don't need a conjunction like 'and' between two verbs in a series.

Wrong: ຂ້ອຍໄປ ແລະ ຊື້ (I go and buy)
正解: ຂ້ອຍໄປຊື້ (I go buy)

State verbs do not need the verb 'to be' (ແມ່ນ) before them.
