常见错误
In Hindi, you don't 'be' hungry; hunger 'attaches' to you. You must use the 'ko' (mujhe) subject.
In English, 'then' is optional. In Hindi, 'to' is almost always required to balance the 'agar'.
While 'jaata tha' is okay for general past, 'jaya karta tha' specifically emphasizes the 'used to' habitual nature.
