I can talk about yesterday, today, and tomorrow: I choose the tense by the time word, don't mix up the two sets of endings and the three “nots”, and talk about the weather, free time, health, and plans.
What we review
What we review
Three tenses. What happened — bordim (kecha, oʻtgan hafta); what is happening now — boryapman (hozir); what happens usually and what will happen — boraman (har kuni, ertaga). The negative is -ma- inside the verb, the question -mi at the end.
Two sets of personal endings: the first (-man, -san, -siz, -miz) after a noun, in both present tenses and after -moqchi; the second (-m, -ng, -ngiz, -k) after -di and on edi.
Three “nots”, where English has one: emas — “is not” (also after -moqchi); -ma- — inside the verb; yoʻq — “there isn't, doesn't have”.
Yesterday — edi, today — no word for “is”, tomorrow — boʻladi.
“I like” and “I love”: Menga … yoqadi — the person “to whom”, and the thing with no ending; Men … -ni yaxshi koʻraman — the person who loves, and the thing with the ending.
Also review: dates and ordinal numbers, “…-im ogʻriyapti”, plans with -moqchi.
