Review Summary

  • Conjunction + Subject + Verb
  • Pronoun + Verb + Object
  • Tatkala + Time Clause
  • Perihal + Topic

常见错误

'Syahdan' is a narrative marker for the start of a sentence or section, not an adverb to be placed after the subject.

Wrong: Saya syahdan pergi ke pasar.
正确: Syahdan, sang ksatria pergi ke pasar.

Literary forms require a corresponding elevated register for verbs and objects.

Wrong: Hamba makan nasi.
正确: Hamba menyantap hidangan.

Tatkala is too formal for simple everyday actions like 'makan'.

Wrong: Tatkala saya sedang makan.
正确: Tatkala ia bersantap.
