Hi!
regarding the past tense, when shoud I use the form "oldu" and when "du"
thank you very much!
Oldu as a phrase can be used as " Ok, All right "
oldu o zaman = Ok, then
Oldu as past tense form of the verb "to be" , "to become" ,"to happen" , " to occur", " to take place"
Ahmet doktor oldu ---> Ahmet became a doctor.
Çok kötü bir kaza oldu bugün.-----> A very bad accident happened today.
Düğünleri Istanbul´da oldu ---> Their wedding took place in Istanbul.
"du" is past tense ending, actually the endings for past tense are "dı ,di, du, dü ". Stem of the Verb takes one of them according to wovel harmony.
In our case it was = Ol [ Verb stem] + du [past tense ending] ---> o ---> u
other examples ; Gel [to come] + di [ past tense ending] --> e -----> i
Al [ to take ] + dı [past tense ending] ---> a -----> ı
Gül [ to smile] +dü [past tense ending ] --> ü ---> ü
The general formula of Past Tense is ;
VERB [STEM] + DI,Dİ,DU,DÜ + PERSONAL ENDING
