자주 하는 실수

You forgot to change the noun to the Dative case. Always remember to add the ending -am for masculine nouns.

Wrong: Es dodu dāvanu draugs.
정답: Es dodu dāvanu draugam.

Feminine nouns ending in -e change to -ei. Don't leave it in the Nominative!

Wrong: Es palīdzu māte.
정답: Es palīdzu mātei.

You used the future tense instead of present. Keep it simple for now!

Wrong: Es došu draugam.
