Review Summary

  • Verb stem + -n / -t + adjective endings

Errores comunes

The participle must agree with the feminine noun 'knjiga'. You must add the -a ending.

Wrong: To je knjiga napisan.
Correcto: To je knjiga napisana.

Confusing the participle 'odprt' (adjective) with the past tense verb 'odprl'. Participles describe the state, not the past action itself.

Wrong: On je odprt vrata.
Correcto: On je odprl vrata.

Gender mismatch. Miza is feminine, so it requires the -a ending.

Wrong: Miza je narejen iz lesa.
Correcto: Miza je narejena iz lesa.
