Review Summary

  • Verb-stem + 'ta' + 'rahu' + 'che'

Erros comuns

You cannot use the simple present for ongoing actions. You must add the continuous auxiliary 'rahu'.

Wrong: હું જાવું છું.
Correto: હું જઈ રહ્યો છું.

If the subject is singular (he), use 'rahyo' instead of the plural 'rahiya'.

Wrong: તે વાંચી રહ્યા છે.
Correto: તે વાંચી રહ્યો છે.

Match the auxiliary to the subject's gender. Since 'she' is feminine, use 'rahi'.

Wrong: તેણી જઈ રહ્યો છે.
Correto: તેણી જઈ રહી છે.
