Today I printed Erdinç' list of Turkish tenses, to be found here *click*. I think he had no time to add translations, so now I would like to ask someone here to help me out a little

Can someone fill in the blanks and see if the ones i tried myself are correct? In case you think a certain verb needs an explanation of when to use, no problem ofcourse

Geldim - I came
Gelirim -
Geliyorum - I am coming
Gelmişim -
Geleceğim - I will come
Gelsem -
Gelmeliyim - I have to come
Geleyim -
Gelirdim -
Geliyordum - I was coming
Gelmiştim -
Gelecektim - I would come
Gelseydim -
Gelmeliydim - I had to come
Gelirmişim -
Geliyormuşum -
Gelecekmişim -
Gelseymişim -
Geldiysem -
Gelirsem -
Geliyorsam - If I am coming
Gelmişsem -
Geleceksem -
Gelmeliysem -


It would also be much appreciated if someone could mark the verbs bold that aren't used so much.

Thank you very much

my few attempts yine mumkun yanlis

Thank you both very much Maybe Erdinç could take a look at it to correct them, tho they seem quite fine to me? (I don't want to claim you to do it though..)

Yes I'm checking them. The main problem is to met multiple meanings of a word with an English word. Sometimes thats not possible. I will post soon.

Ok, thank you very very much That's what i meant with.. adding an explanation if you think it is necessary to understand.

I'll be well chuffed once the list is posted, so that i can take it with me to school and read it when lessons are boring

As promised, here are my translations. When there are two translations it is because it isn't possible to cover the main meanings with just one. I swiched to third singular person since it sounds more meaningful.
