"Çocuklar okuldan geliyor."

Translation: The children are coming from school.

[NahLaElHagag]

Why isn't "geliyorlar

[mizinamo]

It can be. -lar is optional in sentences like this, with a human subject that is already marked as being plural.

So both Çocuklar okuldan geliyor and Çocuklar okuldan geliyorlar are correct.

(On the other hand, if the subject were non-human, e.g. "The apples are falling from the tree", then you must not add the -lar ending to the verb: "Elmalar ağaçtan düşüyor".)

can we say Çocuklar okuldan
geliyorlar ?

[Quolh]

Yes but there is no need

[Faris_Khan]

Would "The children are coming here from school." be "Çocuklar burasi okuldan geliyorlar."?

[MariaElenaBencos]

why not> cocuklar okuldan geliyorlar?

[adibshbib]

The children are coming from school

Why "going" is wrong?

[mizinamo]

Why "going" is wrong?

Because they are geliyor "coming" and not gidiyor "going".

I typed from and Duolingo changed it in form..it is very annoying and irritating! It happens a lot and it is not nice to your students.
