Hello everybody,
Today we will learn (Present Tense in Turkish)
Feel free to edit this page by adding new words and expressions !
Happy learning! :)
When we want to make a To Be sentence in English, the sentence will start with a personal pronoun like “I, You, He, She, etc.”, then we would need to add a to be verb “am/is/are” and finally add the noun or adjective to the end of the sentence. If we want to make a To Be sentence in Turkish, the order and the usage of some words differ. The verb “to be” doesn’t actually exist in Turkish. The sentence first starts with a personal pronoun like “ben, sen, o, etc.”, then the noun or adjective is added, but at the end of the noun or adjective we use the personal suffix associated with our personal pronoun (which makes it similar to a To Be Verb).
