Erreurs courantes

You cannot use the present indicative with 'Kash'. It requires the subjunctive form.

Wrong: کاش میں جاتا ہوں۔
Correct: کاش میں جا سکوں۔

The word 'Shayad' signals uncertainty, which demands the subjunctive mood, not the present tense.

Wrong: شاید وہ آتا ہے۔
Correct: شاید وہ آئے۔

Ensure the verb agrees with the subjunctive stem correctly.

Wrong: کاش میں کیا ہوتا۔
Correct: کاش میں کر پاتا۔
