Oh sorry, I made a mistake, our syntax order is Subject-Object-Verb too. Word order can be altered to emphasize a particular element. The most stressed element in a sentence is the element which is nearest to the verb. (I will call you/Ben seni arayacağım    Ben/I  subject   Sen/object   arayacağım/will call verb.)

1(Ben kitap okuyorum    ben:I        kitap:book    Okuyorum : am reading) 2(Kitabı ben okuyorum Kitabı:the book ben:I okuyorum: am reading)

1)Saying that I am reading book, book is important.(What are you reading) 2)Saying same thing but I is important here.(Who is reading the book)

We have Five main tenses

1-Seen Past Tense (-di suffix, o geldi he came) When you experienced happened stuff. O geldi (He came)(You saw that he came)

2-Heard Past Tense(-mış suffix o gelmiş he came) When you learned thing happined from other sources and not see yourself, can be used with "I" to say that you didn't do but somebody says you did, sarcastic meaning. (Gelmişim:I (apperantly) came.)

3-Current Tense (Present Continuous in english, Geliyor He is coming) You say it when the thing is still happening, right when you talk)

4-Future Tense (Gelecek He will come) (Gelecek also means Future in turkish :) ) Same as english.

5-Wide Tense (Gelir, He comes) Same as english present tense,The things happens in a long time, such as you do every day.

We also have Combined tenses. Gel-mişti (Heard + Seen Past tense) (He (was) came, but not here now) Gel-irdi (Wide + Seen Past tense) (He would came) Gel-ecekdi (Future + seen past tense) (He was going to come) Gel-iyordu (Current/Present + seen past tense) (He was coming) Gel-diydi (Seen + seen past tense)

-mişmiş (Heard+Heard past tense) -yormuş (Current + heard past tense) -ecekmiş (Future + heard past tense)

Well, to much tenses.

and I think it makes sense and very similiar to the English. Is "Raha tha" used to make anything past continous or just verb "eat"?
