Action Verbs

ការប្រើប្រាស់កិរិយាសព្ទសកម្មភាព (ទម្រង់ស្រប)

Subject + Verb = A sentence!

Every sentence needs someone doing an action (Subject) and the action itself (Verb).

ប្រយោគមួយត្រូវមាន ប្រធាន (អ្នកធ្វើ) និង កិរិយាសព្ទ (សកម្មភាពដូចជា រត់, ញ៉ាំ, ដេក)
group

group I / You / We / They

ទម្រង់កិរិយាសព្ទដើម (Base Verb)
I eat. Subject + Verb (Base form) ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំ។
You run. Subject + Verb (Base form) អ្នករត់។
We play. Subject + Verb (Base form) ពួកយើងលេង។
They sleep. Subject + Verb (Base form) ពួកគេដេក។
person

person He / She / It

ច្បាប់បន្ថែម 'S' (The "S" Rule)

For He, She, and It, we must add s or es to the action verb!

He runs. Verb + s គាត់រត់។ (មិនមែន He run ទេ!)
She eats. Verb + s នាងញ៉ាំ។
The dog sleeps. "The dog" = It ឆ្កែដេក។
She goes. Ends in 'o', add 'es' នាងទៅ។

ការបន្ថែមកម្មបទ (Object)

Make your sentence longer: Subject + Verb + Object.

I eat an apple. ខ្ញុំញ៉ាំប៉ោមមួយផ្លែ។
She reads a book. នាងអានសៀវភៅមួយក្បាល។
They play football. ពួកគេលេងបាល់ទាត់។
warning The "S" Trap!

Don't forget the 's' for He/She/It!

(កំហុសទូទៅបំផុតគឺការភ្លេចថែម "s" នៅពេលប្រធានជា He, She, ឬ It!)
He play football. ❌
He plays football. ✅

What is an "Object" exactly?

An "Object" is the thing that receives the action. Think of the sentence: "I kick the ball."
I = Subject (doing the kicking)
kick = Verb (the action)
the ball = Object (the thing getting kicked). ⚽

Why is it "She goes" and not "She gos"?

Ah, that is a spelling rule! For verbs that end in -o, -sh, -ch, -ss, -x, or -z, we add "-es" instead of just "-s". Examples: go -> goes, wash -> washes, watch -> watches. Keep practicing! 👏
