Understanding the Past Simple Tense in Қазақша
The Past Simple Tense in Қазақша is used to talk about actions or events that happened in the past. It's like telling a story about something that already happened.
Important Points
- The suffix changes depending on the last sound of the verb.
- If the last sound is a vowel or a voiced consonant, use '-ды' or '-ді'.
- If the last sound is a voiceless consonant, use '-ты' or '-ті'.
- The subject of the sentence affects the ending of the verb.
- The verb agrees with the subject in number and person.
When you use the Past Simple Tense, you are saying that something happened and it is finished now. You are not doing it anymore.
Examples
- Мен кітап оқыдым.
- Сен мектепке бардың.
- Ол алма жеді.
In these examples, the verbs 'оқыды', 'барды', and 'жеді' show that the actions happened in the past.
Important Points
- To say 'I did something', use '-м' or '-мын' at the end.
- To say 'You did something', use '-ң' or '-сың' at the end.
- To say 'He/She/It did something', just use the past suffix.
Examples
- Мен үй тапсырмасын орындадым.
- Сен кино көрдің.
- Ол ән айтты.
By using these endings, you can show who did the action in the past. It's important to match the ending with the subject of the sentence.
