Questions & Answers about ผม เพิ่ง ดู คลิป กับ เพื่อน ครับ
Why don't we need a past tense word like แล้ว (laeo) at the end of the sentence?
The word เพิ่ง (just/recently) already shows that the action happened in the recent past. You can add แล้ว at the very end of the sentence for emphasis, but it is completely optional when using เพิ่ง.
Could I put เพิ่ง at the beginning of the sentence to mean 'Recently, I watched...'?
No, เพิ่ง acts as a helping word that must be placed immediately before the main verb. Here, it goes right before ดู (watch). Unlike the English word 'recently', you cannot start a Thai sentence with เพิ่ง.
Is คลิป just the English word 'clip'?
Yes! คลิป is an English loanword. In Thai, it is very commonly used to refer to any short video on the internet, like a YouTube or TikTok video, rather than a full movie or TV show.
I see กับ (kap) is used for 'with'. Does the word order change when saying who you did an action with?
The word order is exactly like English here. You have the action ดูคลิป (watch a clip), followed by กับเพื่อน (with a friend). Thai keeps phrases like this right after the object, just as you are used to.
