present tense
The present tense refers to a sentence where the action is currently
taking place. Examples of present tense sentences are "He runs", "She
reads", and "They play".
Turning a verb root into a present tense verb depends on if the verb
is a weak or strong verb:
- Present Tense - Weak Verbs
- verb root + கிற் + verb suffix

Ex:
- நாய் தூங்குகிறது = "The dog sleeps."
- அவர்கள் விளையாடுகிறார்கள் = "They play."
- அவன் வாங்குகிறான் = "He buys."
- Present Tense - Strong Verbs
- verb root + க்கிற் + verb suffix
|
Ex:
- கமலா படிக்கிறாள் = "Kamala reads."
- நீ பார்க்கிறாய் = "You watch."
- நான் நினைக்கிறேன் = "I think."
