There's always a beneficiary of an action if this prefix is used. Filipinos also used this as the contraction of the prefix ipinag-. The following are examples of root verbs that we will be using with pinag-. ROOT VERBS luto cook timpla make, such as to make drinks such as juice, coffee or tea laba wash clothes, laundry linis clean lakad walk EXAMPLE SENTENCES WITH PINAG Pinagluto kita ng adobo. I cooked adobo for you. Pinagtimpla kita ng kape. I made coffee for you. Pinagluto ako ng adobo ni Angel. Angel cooked adobo for me. Pinagtimpla ako ni Angel ng kape. Angel made coffee for me. There's always a beneficiary of the action when pinag- is used as stated above, either the speaker, the person being spoken to, or someone else. Pinagtimpla ni Angel si Angelo ng kape. Angel made coffee for Angelo. Pinagluto ni Angelo si Angel ng adobo. Angelo cooked adobo for Angel. PINAG AS CONTRACTION OF IPINAG Ipinagluto ni Angel si Angelo ng adobo. Angel cooked adobo for Angelo. Ipinaglaba ni Angelo si Angel. Angelo did the laundry for Angel. Using ipinag instead of pinag makes it clear that someone benefited from the action or something was done for someone. Use it as the counterpart of the English (Person's name or pronoun) (verb) for (name/pronoun) such as David cooked spaghetti for Kaila. "Pinaglaba ni Angelo si Angel" is also correct but this sentence can be confusing as this can also mean that Angelo made Angel do the laundry. So again, to clearly state that someone benefited from an action, your prefix here is ipinag. MORE ON PINAG Pinag + root verb also states an imperative. Use this prefix to say someone asked you to do something. The English counterpart of this when used this way are the following -- (Person's name) asked me to (verb). Hana asked me to cook. Pinagluto ako ni Hana. (Person's name) asked (insert another person's name) to (verb). Hana asked Angel to cook. Pinagluto ni Hana si Angel. DIFFERENT FORMS OF THIS AFFIX BY TENSES
