MODULE 07

Thai Tenses

Thai verbs don't change, but helper words do. Learn to use context and helper words to express time.

Study Mode

Learning mode shows the helper words and full structure.

🔑 The Key Difference

English changes the verb: eateatingatewill eat.
Thai doesn't. The verb กิน (gin — eat) stays the same. Instead, we add helper words before or after the verb to show when the action happens.

Core Example: กิน (gin) — Eat

This is the most important concept in Thai tenses. The verb never changes. Only the helpers do.

Other Common Verbs
