Use düzenlemek to arrange files, reshape a text or organize an event. The object tells you which meaning fits. The table gives forms for “I”; the examples also show a completed event in the passive.
The idea
Düzenlemek takes an object: dosyaları düzenlemek means arranging the files, while bir sergi düzenlemek means organizing an exhibition. The stem is düzenle-; compare düzenliyorum, with vowel narrowing, and düzenleyeceğim, with a linking y. In Atölye düzenlendi, the workshop becomes the subject and its organizers are left unnamed.

Watch out
Do not treat düzenlemek and düzeltmek as interchangeable. Metni düzenlemek can involve rearranging its sections; yazım hatasını düzeltmek specifically removes a spelling error. Editing may include correction, but organizing an exhibition does not mean correcting it.
Try it yourself
Complete with the present continuous of düzenlemek for “I”: I am organizing the archive files now.
Show answer or example answer
düzenliyorum
düzenliyorum: the speaker is working on the files right now. The final e of düzenle- narrows before -yor, giving düzenli-; -um identifies the speaker.
Use the future of düzenlemek for “we”: next month we will organize a photography exhibition.
Show answer or example answer
düzenleyeceğiz
düzenleyeceğiz: the exhibition is next month and the organizers are “we”. A linking y follows the stem, and the future ending’s k becomes ğ before -iz.
Choose the verb specifically meaning “I corrected”: I corrected the spelling error.
Show answer or example answer
düzelttim
düzelttim: the object is a spelling error, and the prompt asks specifically for correcting it. The past ending starts with t after the stem düzelt-, so both instances of t remain.
Use the passive past: a workshop was held in the library last week. Do not name the organizers.
Show answer or example answer
düzenlendi
düzenlendi: the workshop is what was organized, not the organizer. The passive stem düzenlen- takes past -di; no person ending is added for this third-person singular subject.
