Articles (Tamil has none)

Tamil has no a/an/the — they vanish or land in the wrong place. Learn article slots as part of the noun.

Word order (SOV→SVO)

Tamil is strictly verb-final; English wants Subject-Verb-Object. Move the verb forward.

Dropped subjects

Tamil verbs carry the subject, so "Is raining", "Went home" appear — English needs an explicit it/I/he.

p/b, t/d, k/g voicing

Tamil script doesn’t separate voiced/voiceless stops, so "bag" vs "back", "time" vs "dime" blur. Train the pairs.

Universal "no?/isn’t it?" tags

Tamil இல்லையா becomes a one-size tag — English tags must match the verb ("You came, didn’t you?").

Articles (a/an/the)

When to use a/an/the vs nothing is subtle and trips most learners.
