3 classic trapsWhere Turkish speakers slip.

Bu bölümdeki 3 tuzağa tek bakışta dikkat et.

  • Edattan sonra özne zamiri olmaz: ✗ with I, for she → ✓ with me, for her; ✗ between you and I (günlükte duyulur ama A1'de öğretme) → ✓ between you and me — Kural: edat + nesne zamiri, istisnasız.
  • Türkçe ekleri ayrı kelime yap: ✗ I love she. → ✓ I love her. (onu = her); ✗ They help we. → ✓ They help us. (bize = us) — Fiilden sonra gelen kişi her zaman nesne zamiridir.
  • he/him, she/her karıştırma: ✗ Her is my sister. (özne gerek) → ✓ She is my sister; ✗ I saw she. (nesne gerek) → ✓ I saw her — Test: başa geliyorsa she/he, fiilden sonra geliyorsa her/him.
