Review Summary

  • Root + echi/echo/eche
  • Subject + negative + verb

常见错误

Bengali is SOV (Subject-Object-Verb). The object should come before the verb.

Wrong: আমি করেছি কাজ (Ami korechi kaj)
正确: আমি কাজ করেছি (Ami kaj korechi)

Students often confuse simple past with present perfect. Use -echi for recent/relevant actions.

Wrong: আমি খেয়েছিলাম (Ami kheyechilam)
正确: আমি খেয়েছি (Ami kheyechi)

In present perfect negation, the ending changes to -ini, not just adding 'na'.

Wrong: আমি না করেছি (Ami na korechi)
正确: আমি করিনি (Ami korini)
