Review Summary

  • Verb - vu
  • Stem + u + chu
  • Time + Subject + Verb

Erros comuns

You must remove the 'vu' from 'javu' before adding the ending. 'Javu' is the infinitive, not the conjugated form.

Wrong: હું જવું છું
Correto: હું જાઉં છું

In Gujarati, the present tense often requires the 'chu' auxiliary verb to sound complete.

Wrong: હું રોજ ખાઉં
Correto: હું રોજ ખાઉં છું

The nasal sound is important in the first person singular conjugation.

Wrong: હું પાણી પીવું છું
Correto: હું પાણી પીઉં છું
