💡

The 'ko' rule

Always check if you are the subject or the experiencer.

💡

Gender Check

Always look at the noun first. If it's feminine, use -ti hui.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Present Participle as Adjective: The Doing Person (-ta hua/-ti hui)
💡

Keep it simple

Start with simple present tense before moving to complex past conditionals.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Real Conditionals: If... Then (Agar... to)

Review Summary

  • Verb Stem + ta/ti/te + hua/hui/hue + Noun
  • Perfective Stem (a/i/e) + Karna (in past tense)
  • Agar [Condition], To [Result]

أخطاء شائعة

In Hindi, you don't 'be' hungry; hunger 'attaches' to you. You must use the 'ko' (mujhe) subject.

Wrong: मैं भूख हूँ(main bhookh hoon)
صحيح: मुझे भूख लगी है(mujhe bhookh lagi hai)

In English, 'then' is optional. In Hindi, 'to' is almost always required to balance the 'agar'.

Wrong: अगर वह आएगा, मैं जाऊँगा(agar vah aaega, main jaaunga)
صحيح: अगर वह आएगा, तो मैं जाऊँगा(agar vah aaega, to main jaaunga)

While 'jaata tha' is okay for general past, 'jaya karta tha' specifically emphasizes the 'used to' habitual nature.

Wrong: मैं रोज़ मंदिर जाता था(main roz mandir jaata tha) [for a specific past habit]
صحيح: मैं रोज़ मंदिर जाया करता था(main roz mandir jaya karta tha)

أسئلة شائعة (6)

No, only for repeated habits.
Use 'karti thi'.
Because 'Mujhe' is the dative case, meaning 'to me'. You are the experiencer, not the subject.
No, it is invariant. It doesn't change for gender, number, or person.
Use '-te hue' for masculine plural and '-ti hui' for feminine plural.
No. Progressive is 'is doing' (raha hai). Participle is 'the doing' (ta hua).
