Questions & Answers about ผม จะ ดึง กล่อง มา ครับ
Why is มา translated as 'over here' instead of 'come'?
In this lesson, we use มา after an action verb to show that the action is moving towards the speaker. Since ดึง means to pull, adding มา makes it clear you are pulling the box towards yourself.
Why is มา placed after กล่อง (box) instead of right next to the verb ดึง (pull)?
When you have an object in the sentence (like the box), the directional verb มา goes after the object. The Thai pattern is action verb + object + direction, so literally it is 'pull + box + towards me'.
Could I use ไป instead of มา in this sentence?
Yes! ไป means the action moves away from the speaker. If you said ผมจะดึงกล่องไปครับ, it would mean you are pulling or dragging the box away with you, rather than bringing it to where you are right now.
