In Lao, verbs do not have different forms for
different tenses such as "is and was" in English. Sometimes you will
notice different tenses in English translations but with no corresponding change in
Lao.
For example,
ເກິດ |
ke3et |
to be born |
ຂ້ອຍເກິດຢູ່ປາກເຊ |
khO3y
ke3et ju#u pa3akse2e |
I (was)
born in Pakse. |
