Grammar: Tenses the Easy Way

Telugu verbs change at the end. Learn the three core endings and you can say almost anything.

Use it in a sentence

  • నేను వెళ్తాను.Nēnu veḷtānu.I go / I will go (present-future).
  • నేను వెళ్ళాను.Nēnu veḷḷānu.I went (past).
  • నేను వెళ్తున్నాను.Nēnu veḷtunnānu.I am going (right now).

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • The “-tunnānu” ending = happening NOW. The “-tānu” ending = habit or future. Mixing them is the #1 beginner slip.
