Understanding Subject-Verb Agreement in Azərbaycan
Subject-Verb Agreement means the subject of a sentence and the verb must match each other. This is important because it helps the sentence make sense and sound right.
Important Points
- The subject is the person, animal, or thing doing the action.
- The verb is the action word in the sentence.
- In Azərbaycan, the verb changes its form to match the subject.
- Subjects and verbs must agree in number, which means they should both be singular or both be plural.
- The verb usually comes after the subject in a sentence.
Let's look at some examples to understand how subject-verb agreement works in Azərbaycan.
Examples
- Uşaq oynayır.
- Uşaqlar oynayırlar.
- Mən gedirəm.
In the first example, 'Uşaq' is singular, so the verb 'oynayır' is also singular. In the second example, 'Uşaqlar' is plural, so the verb 'oynayırlar' is plural too. In the third example, 'Mən' is a singular subject, and the verb 'gedirəm' matches it.
Important Points
- For 'I' (Mən), use '-əm' or '-am' at the end of the verb.
- For 'You' (Sən), use '-sən' or '-san'.
- For 'He/She/It' (O), use the base form of the verb.
- For 'We' (Biz), use '-ıq', '-ik', '-uq', or '-ük'.
- For 'You all' (Siz), use '-sınız', '-siniz', '-sunuz', or '-sünüz'.
- For 'They' (Onlar), use '-lar' or '-lər' at the end of the verb.
Remember, when you are speaking or writing in Azərbaycan, always make sure the subject and verb agree with each other. This will help your sentences be clear and correct.
