  • Stem + -ып/-іп/-п + Auxiliary
  • V-ып + шығу / тастау
  • алып + келу / бару
  • V-ып + көру

Erros comuns

You cannot just put two verbs together. You must add the -ып/-іп/-п suffix to the first verb to 'link' it.

Wrong: Мен жазу шықтым.
Correto: Мен жазып шықтым. (I finished writing.)

Using 'алу' (take) implies the action is for oneself. Since he told 'me', you must use 'беру' (give/for someone else).

Wrong: Ол маған айтып алды.
Correto: Ол маған айтып берді. (He told/explained to me.)

While 'әкелу' is a shortened form used in speech, learners often forget the full compound logic of 'taking and coming'.

Wrong: Кітапты әкелдім.
Correto: Кітапты алып келдім. (I brought the book.)
