কৰিলোঁ / কৰিলা / কৰিলে
Simple Past Verb Endings
The past tense: মই শুলোঁ “I slept”, তুমি জিকিলা “you won”, তাই শুলে “she slept”.
How It Works
One set of endings makes the simple past.
| Who | Ending | কৰ “do” | জিক “win” |
|---|---|---|---|
| মই, আমি | -িলোঁ | কৰিলোঁ | জিকিলোঁ |
| তুমি | -িলা | কৰিলা | জিকিলা |
| আপুনি, তেওঁ, সি, তাই | -িলে | কৰিলে | জিকিলে |
Examples: আমি কাম কৰিলোঁ “we worked”, তুমি জিকিলা “you won” and আপুনি কি কৰিলে? “what did you do?”.
The past of the verbs যা “go” and হ “become” is irregular, and other topics show it. Some third-person forms end in -ল instead of -লে, and both are heard.
The negative past puts ন- before the verb, as in নকৰিলোঁ “I did not do”.
Examples (5)
- মই শুলোঁ।
I slept.
শু ends in a vowel, so the ending for মই is -লোঁ, with no ি.
- তুমি জিকিলা।
You won.
-িলা goes with তুমি.
- তাই শুলে।
She slept.
শু ends in a vowel, so the ending for তাই is -লে.
- আমি কাম কৰিলোঁ।
We worked.
আমি takes -িলোঁ, as মই does.
- আপুনি কি কৰিলে?
What did you do?
আপুনি takes -িলে.
