the Sentence; Benefactive Focus Verbs: The subject
benefits)
Idinudugtong ang i- o -in- sa isang salitangugat para sabihin kung anong ginagawa ng
aktor sa isang bagay i.e. ang paksa
(add I- or –in to the root word to focus on the
object of the sentence, i.e. the subject)
May mga salitang-ugat na pandiwa
na puwedeng dugtungan ng i- at –in
at iisa pa rin ang ibig nitong sabihin.

Pangungusap: Itanong mo kay Tita kung paano
mapapabuti ang iyong pagsusulat.
Pangungusap: Tanungin mo kay Tita kung paano
