Present Tense - Weak Verbs
The present tense refers to a sentence where the action is currently taking place. Examples of present tense sentences are “He runs”, “She reads”, and “They play”.
Turning a verb root into a present tense verb depends on if the verb is a weak or strong verb:
verb root + கிற் + verb suffix
Ex:
- நாய் தூங்குகிறது = “The dog sleeps.”
- அவர்கள் விளையாடுகிறார்கள் = “They play.”
- அவன் வாங்குகிறான் = “He buys.”
Present Tense - Strong Verbs
verb root + க்கிற் + verb suffix
Ex:
- கமலா படிக்கிறாள் = “Kamala reads.”
- நீ பார்க்கிறாய் = “You watch.”
- நான் நினைக்கிறேன் = “I think.”
