Simple present

Lesson 7 of 84

A1

Simple present = aadat, roz ka kaam, aur sach (facts). "Abhi ho raha hai" nahi — woh baad me: topic 08.

1. Kya hai

Is time se hum hamesha / aksar wala kaam, ya sach (fact) bolte hain. Time words jaise every day, on Sunday common hain. always / usually / never ki jagah topic 25 me.

Use Example
Aadat / roz ka kaam I drink chai every morning.
Fact The sun rises in the east.
Kaam / school life She goes to school at 8.

Dono ek saath mat lagao: I am a student (kaun hai — be). I go to school (kaam — simple present). I am go galat.

2. Forms

Verb = kaam wala word (play, go, eat).

Subject (karta) Positive (haan) Negative (nahi) Question (sawal)
I / you / we / they + plural noun play do not play / don't play Do you play …?
he / she / it + singular noun / naam plays does not play / doesn't play Does he play …?

Nahi aur sawal me do / does aata hai; uske baad verb base (bina -s/-ed, jaise like, play) rehta hai — extra -s nahi: Does she like tea? — not Does she likes.

Short answer (chhota jawab): Yes, I do. / No, she doesn't. Poora verb dobara zaroori nahi. (Jaise topic 05: Yes, I am — not Yes I'm.)

have / has bhi yahan aata hai (topic 06): He has a bike. He doesn't have a car.

3. he / she / it: -s ya -es

Sirf he / she / it / naam pe yeh spelling.

Rule Example
Zyada verbs: sirf s lagao eat → eats, live → lives, play → plays
s, sh, ch, x, o ke baad + es watch → watches, go → goes, wash → washes
consonant (swar nahi) + y → ies study → studies, carry → carries
Rule se alag (yaad rakho) have → has, do → does

Hindi note. Hindi me kaam wala word aksar same rehta hai: "woh jaata hai / woh jaate hain". English me hamesha yahi: he/she/it + -s, baaki base (bina -s/-ed). does ke baad dobara -s mat lagana. I am go galat — am aur go dono ek saath mat lagao. Kaam ke liye sirf go / goes.
