    Turkish is a language where the verb always comes at the end of the written sentence, though spoken Turkish allows some flexibility. For example, the sentence "I read newspapers" would be written as "Ben gazete okurum" which literally translates to "I newspaper read." Turkish does make a distinction between present simple and present continuous verb tenses, similar to English, though this lesson only introduces the present simple form.

    that English speakers most commonly study.

    That being said, a background in Japanese, Korean, or Hungarian will prove very
    useful. The verb always comes at the end of the sentence in written Turkish (spoken Turkish allows for some flexibility).
    For example: Ben gazete okurum. Literally “I newspaper read.”, meaning, “I read newspapers.”

    Verb Tenses Edit


    The Turkish language does distinguish between a “present continuous” and a “simple present” tense. In this lesson, we have
    included the “simple present” form of a few verbs, but this will be taught later in greater detail. This means that there is a
    difference in the sentences:

    I eat a sandwich. (present simple) I am eating a sandwich. (present continuous)
