What we review
In town you need four questions: where? where to? where from? with whom, by what?
The question қайда? has two answers: -да — where, -ға — where to. -дан — where from, -мен — with whom, by what. All the forms of the endings are in the first table.
What is where: the noun in the genitive + a place word — банктің алдында.
Right now: отырмын, тұрмын, жүрмін, жатырмын.
Directions: тура жүріңіз, кірмеңіз, келіңізші.
Don't confuse in writing: он “ten”, оң “right”.
The question words of modules 1–4 are in the second table.
