Review Summary

  • Verb root + и/й
  • Verb root + ете
  • Не + Imperative
  • Моля + Verb

常见错误

In negative imperatives, the verb must match the target. 'Правете' is the correct formal imperative.

Wrong: Не правите това!
正确: Не правете това!

Always use a comma after 'Моля' when it acts as an introductory particle.

Wrong: Моля прави.
正确: Моля, прави.

Do not use the formal '-ете' ending for children or close friends, as it sounds distant.

Wrong: Елате тук! (to a child)
正确: Ела тук!
