Review Summary

  • Sentence + [นะ/สิ/หรอก]
  • Transition + Clause
  • Sentence + [kha/krub]
  • Subject + ก็ + Verb

자주 하는 실수

'หรอก' must be used with a negative verb.

Wrong: เขาไปหรอก (He goes - wrong usage)
정답: เขาไม่ไปหรอก (He won't go - correct usage)

Avoid mixing informal 'ก็' with formal 'ดังนั้น' in the same clause.

Wrong: งานหนัก ดังนั้นผมก็เหนื่อย (Work is hard, therefore I also tired)
정답: งานหนัก ดังนั้นผมจึงเหนื่อย (Work is hard, therefore I am tired)

Particles usually come at the end of the sentence, not the beginning.

Wrong: ผมสิไป (I [emphatic] go)
정답: ผมจะไปสิ (I will go [emphasis])

Next Steps

You've conquered discourse! Keep practicing these markers to sound like a natural fluent speaker.

Listen to a Thai podcast and count the usage of 'ก็'
