~たり~たりする: Representative Activities

List representative actions with VたりVたりする without implying an exhaustive sequence.

35 min
Before you begin
  • Plain past forms.
Why this matters

Useful for describing what happened during a day, test cycle, weekend, or investigation without listing every action.

1. Start from plain past, replace final た/だ with たり/だり

The form resembles past because it is built from the same stem, but ~たり is not itself past tense.

Past form → representative-action form
