Review Summary

  • Root + Tense
  • Verb-п + жатыр
  • Verb-п + болды/бітті
  • Verb-п + жүр

Erros comuns

Word order in Kazakh places the object before the verb. Always keep the object closer to the verb.

Wrong: Мен жазып болдым жұмысты.
Correto: Мен жұмысты жазып болдым.

The auxiliary verb must agree with the subject in person. 'Жатырмын' is for 1st person.

Wrong: Мен оқып жатыр.
Correto: Мен оқып жатырмын.

Simple past doesn't capture the duration 'all day'. Use the habitual progressive aspect.

Wrong: Мен жұмыс істедім күн бойы.
Correto: Мен күн бойы жұмыс істеп жүрдім.
