Explanation
Words naming people’s jobs and trades also answer Kim?: haydovchi (driver), dehqon (farmer), bog‘bon (gardener), shifokor (doctor), quruvchi (builder). To see what a worker does, we ask: Kim non yopadi? (Who bakes bread?) — novvoy (baker). Kim uy quradi? (Who builds a house?) — quruvchi.
Worked examples
“My grandfather”. My grandfather is a gardener. He goes out to the garden in the morning. He waters the trees. In spring he plants apple and cherry saplings. In summer he picks the ripe fruit. I help him too. When I grow up, I want to be a gardener too.
Shifokor bemorni davolaydi. (The doctor treats the patient.) Haydovchi mashina haydaydi. (The driver drives a car.)
Class activity
