Mastering Thai Grammar and Tenses with lɛ́ɛu แล้ว - Book I

The price includes free MP3 files spoken by native speakers. They can be downloaded from the address: www.thaibooks.net



This book explains how to understand Thai tenses naturally from the context. Whether the sentence refers to the present or past time depends on the five different types of verbs and the time indicator lɛ́ɛu แล้ว. In addition to the natural time aspect, the reader will also learn how to use time words, tense markers and express anticipated future time.

The Thai time aspect is entirely different from the English tense system, which can be rather complicated. In Thai, instead of tenses, we focus on:



- p?t-ts?banna-kaan ปัจจุบัน กาล present time, now or nowadays

- ad?itta-kaan อดีต กาล past time or completed actions

- anaakh?tta-kaan อนาคต กาล future time or future planning



This book is for anyone who wants to learn and improve their Thai language skills. If you are an intuitive person, concentrate more on spoken and written sentences. If you are more grammar-oriented, focus on the explanations and grammatical rules. The book provides numerous example sentences, along with audio spoken by native speakers, to help you get into the flow of the language. When you master the Thai tenses with lɛ́ɛu แล้ว, your language skills will improve significantly.
