Thanks, MrsBee! Keep on showing your exercises here. At least I benefit from them and I´m sure there are many more learners who feel the same.

I see this structure a lot but actually I never understood it. From the examples here it seems to me that it means something like ´being in the process of doing something´. Am I right? (I am getting very suspicious of the Turkish verb to be. There seems to be much more to it than it looks in the first sight.)

Thanks, MrsBee! Keep on showing your exercises here. At least I benefit from them and I´m sure there are many more learners who feel the same.

(I am getting very suspicious of the Turkish verb to be. There seems to be much more to it than it looks in the first sight.)

 

I guess it´s more like:

- to pretend doing something (eylem + gibi yapmak)

- to look like doing something (eylem + gibi olmak)

- to be about to do something (gelecek zaman - ecek + olmak)

- to take the habit of doing something (geniş zaman - ar + olmak)

- happened to do something (rivayet - miş + olmak)

I am not so sure though, I couldn´t go to class today, that´s why I need some help with the homework.

You have to use present tense instead of future tense in these exercises (not everywhere). Future tense is also meaningful but it seems sometimes weird. Sometimes  present and future are both okay. In a few examples present seems weird. To prefer present is better.

 

Example: Onu görür gibi oldum. (correct)

Onu görecek gibi oldum (weird)

Faruk I think to prefer using present tense is less problematic than using future tense. But I also wonder the opinions of scalpel and tunci. I am not sure which one is better gramatically. But as I said I would prefer present tense in most cases.

Yes, could be. But I prefer future tense... I don´t think it is a real problem.
