Review Summary

  • [Verb Stem] + [Reha/Rehi/Rehe] + [Auxiliary Hai/Haan/Han]

常见错误

Many learners forget the final auxiliary verb (haan/hai). Even with 'reha', you still need the 'to be' verb at the end to anchor the sentence in the present.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ। (Main parh reha.)
正确: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ। (Main parh reha haan.)

The word 'reha' must change to 'rehi' for feminine subjects. This gender agreement is vital in Punjabi.

Wrong: ਕੁੜੀ ਖਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। (Kuri kha reha hai.)
正确: ਕੁੜੀ ਖਾ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ। (Kuri kha rehi hai.)

Don't confuse the habitual tense (I read/I study) with the continuous tense (I am reading). Use 'reha' for things happening at this exact second.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹਦਾ ਹਾਂ (Main parhda haan) - used when meaning 'I am reading right now'.
正确: ਮੈਂ ਪੜ੍ਹ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ (Main parh reha haan).

Next Steps

You've just unlocked the ability to talk about the 'here and now'. This is a huge milestone in your Punjabi journey. Keep practicing and soon it will feel like second nature!
