Past vs Future Exercises For Turkish Grammar

Language deciphered through immersive grammar activities 

In Turkish grammar, the distinction between Past and Future tenses is critical for effective communication. While the past tense, also known as “Geçmiş Zaman,” is used to talk about actions that were completed in the past, the future tense, or “Gelecek Zaman,” predicts or planned actions that will occur in the future. The main difference is the verb endings that indicate tense, and mastery of this greatly enhances one’s fluency in Turkish.
