Like / want / need

Lesson 29 of 84

A2

like = pasand. want = chahna. need = zaroorat. Simple present (07). -ing vs to poora = topic 44.

1. Kya hai

Teen alag verbs — matlab alag. Form topic 07 jaisa: he/she + -s; sawal = Do / Does. Baad me noun (cheez) aa sakti hai, ya action: to + base.

Verb Matlab Example
like pasand (hamesha / aksar) I like chai. She likes cricket.
want abhi chahiye / iccha I want water. I want to go home.
need zaroorat — kaam ke liye zaroori I need a pen. I need to study.

Yeh verbs simple present me aate hain — continuous nahi: I like tea. not I am liking tea (topic 08).

I / you / we / they he / she / it
+ I like / want / need She likes / wants / needs
− I don't like tea. She doesn't like tea.
? Do you like tea? Yes, I do. Does she like tea? No, she doesn't.

2. Baad me kya

Noun Action
like I like rice. I like playing cricket. ( -ing )
want I want water. I want to go home. ( to + base )
need I need a pen. I need to study. ( to + base )

Rule: noun seedha baad me — I want water. I need a pen. I like chai. Action ke liye want / need + to + base: I want to go / I need to study. I want go / I need go galat. like + playing cricket bhi theek; poora -ing vs to = topic 44.

3. Would you like

Offer / polite want. I want seedha lag sakta hai (dukaan, ghar).

Yes Use
Pasand (hamesha) Do you like chai? Aksar peete ho?
Offer (abhi) Would you like some chai? Abhi loge? Yes, please. / No, thank you.
Polite want I'd like some chai. / I would like to go home. would like = polite "chahiye". Poora would tense yahan nahi.

Do you would like galat. like = similar (He is like his father) alag word — baad me. me / him / her = topic 31.
