Lesson 31 of 84

A2

Object pronoun = object wala chhota word (kis par kaam hua): me, him, her, us, them. Subject (karta) I / he = topic 03. Possessive my / mine = topic 21.

1. Kya hai

Subject karta hai (kaun?). Object = kis par kaam hota hai. English order: karta → kaam wala word → object (topic 19).

Ravi helps Ananya. → He helps her.

He = subject, topic 03. her = object pronoun (yeh topic). Jagah: verb ke baad (helps me) ya preposition ke baad (for me).

you you (same) I know you.
