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”.

verb root + கிற் + verb suffix
Examples
| Tamil | English |
|---|---|
| நாய் தூங்குகிறது | The dog sleeps |
| அவர்கள் விளையாடுகிறார்கள் | They play |
| அவன் வாங்குகிறான் | He buys |
