I have added three new lessons in my class;

 

Heard Past Tense with -miş; Negative, Question and Conjugated Forms of -miş and Some Useful Prepositions and Conjuctions.

 

-miş structure doesn´t have a clear respond in English, that´s why it was little difficult for me to tell and explain it. I hope it helps you. Lessons are in progress, new lessons are going to be added in coming days.

 

Thx

I´m not picking on you - promise - but I think the word you want here is ´equivalent´ - the miş structure doesn´t have a clear equivalent in English´

Thanks LIR, to be honest, I was not sure if "clear respond" was correct. Thanks for the help !

I agree with LIR.

 

You were close TCobra .  I think perhaps you had the word "correspond" in the back of your mind :

correspond : to be similar or analogous; be equivalent in function, position, amount, etc. (usually fol. by to )
(taken from: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/correspond)

Yes - I didn´t think of that.  But that doesn´t mean you can say ´a clear correspond´ TC - you would have to say something like ´The English Language has nothing corresponding to (or that corresponds to) the ´miş´ tense in Turkish´.

Yes, I know, I agree with you .  I don´t think I made myself clear.  I just thought that TurkishCobra may have come across the word "correspond" but had remembered it as "respond".  I thought he might like to know how close he was to remembering.  I was too lazy to give an example of how it changes, depending on how it´s used .

I wasn´t trying to explain to you that you can´t say ´a clear correspond´!!!!  Sorry if you thought that.
