外語教學中土耳其語之現在進行式

Present Continuous Tense in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language

We can briefly define the term “tense (kip)” as structures of the verb in different forms by getting different suffixes (e.g. Tense and pronoun suffixes). Uzun (2004, 150) defines the term “tense (kip)” as the category which is presented by the instructor’s annex to the proposal in the study named “Fundamental Concepts of Grammar (Dilbilgisi Temel Kavramları)”. The instructor may load meanings to sentence in different concepts like statement, necessity, wish, request, negativeness, question, advice, caution, aim, ability, probability, possibility, permission, prohibition, suspicion and condition. Another researcher, Korkmaz (569) defines the term “tense” (kip) as a grammatical structure, a way of explanation which displays the way of the instructor’s, listener’s and the subject’s understanding about behaviour and happening of the infinitive verb. Muharrem Ergin classifies the tenses as statement tenses and contemplation tenses.
