The main verb in the “minun täytyy” construction will always appear in its basic form. This means, for example, that verbtype 2 verbs will have -da/-dä at the end (eg. Minun täytyy syödä).

Note that the sentences which say “KPT!” require you to think about consonant gradation.

The word expressing the person who has to do something will always be written in the genetive case. For some names, you will need consonant gradation. If a name ends in a consonant, you need to add an -i- before the genetive’s -n.

Each box should only contain one word!

All the verbs in this exercise undergo consonant gradation. For verbtype 1, the basic form of the verb will be STRONG. For verbtype 4 and 5, the basic form will be WEAK.

The object of a negative sentence will appear in its partitive form.

Negative imperatives (älä and älkää) forbid someone from doing something. You can also tell someone that they don’t have to do something using “Sinun/teidän ei tarvitse tehdä“.

Singular “älä” imperatives can be turned into “sinun ei tarvitse” sentences.

Plural “älkää” imperatives can be turned into “teidän ei tarvitse” sentences.

Note how the total object of a regular sentence will appear in the genetive case, while the “Minun täytyy” sentence will have the basic form. Negative sentences have a partitive object.
