Review Summary

  • Biti (present) + Participle

常见错误

You cannot drop the auxiliary verb in Perfekt. It is required to indicate the person.

Wrong: Ja radio.
正确: Ja sam radio.

The participle must agree with the gender of the subject. 'Ona' is feminine.

Wrong: Ona je radio.
正确: Ona je radila.

Do not repeat the auxiliary. 'Nisam' already contains the negation and the auxiliary.

Wrong: Nisam sam radio.
正确: Nisam radio.
