The Past Tense II: Irregulars and the Had-Done Forms | Spoken Malayalam #025
Описание
English has a whole family of past forms: I saw, I have seen, I had seen, I was seeing, I used to see. English speakers usually translate "have seen" by adding a word for "have", and end up with the possession pattern from Episode 22: എനിക്ക് കണ്ടു ഉണ്ട് (enikku kandu undu), which means nothing. Malayalam builds these meanings with endings glued onto the past verb.
In this episode:
• The irregulars: learn them as pairs
• "have done": -ittundu
• "had done": -irunnu
• "was doing": -ukayaayirunnu
• "used to do": -umaayirunnu
• Language bridge
• Practice
• Self-check questions with answers
