Present Tense Learning Material for Beginners

Topic: Present Tense (Simple)

English:

The Present Tense tells us about actions that happen regularly, facts, or general truths. It is also used to describe habits and daily routines.

Structure:
Subject + base verb (+ s/es for he/she/it)

Examples:
I eat breakfast at 8 AM.
She goes to school.
The sun rises in the east.

Hindi:

Present Tense वर्तमान काल के क्रियाओं को बताता है जो नियमित रूप से होती हैं, या सच्चाइयाँ होती हैं। यह आदतों और रोज़मर्रा की गतिविधियों को भी दर्शाता है।

संरचना:
कर्ता + क्रिया (base verb) + (he/she/it के साथ s/es लगता है)

उदाहरण:
मैं सुबह 8 बजे नाश्ता करता हूँ।
वह स्कूल जाती है।
सूर्य पूर्व से उगता है।

Use of “s” and “es”:

We add s or es to the verb in present tense only when the subject is he, she, it, or singular noun.

Rules:

  • For most verbs, add s:
    He plays.
    She sings.
    Rina works.
  • For verbs ending in ch, sh, x, s, o, add es:
    He watches TV.
    She goes to school.
    The bus passes my house.
  • For verbs ending in y with a consonant before it, change y to ies:
    He studies daily.
    She tries hard.

“s” और “es” का प्रयोग कब करें:

जब कर्ता he, she, it या कोई एकवचन व्यक्ति/वस्तु हो, तो क्रिया के साथ s या es लगाते हैं।

नियम:

  • सामान्य क्रियाओं में “s” लगाते हैं:
    वह खेलता है। (He plays.)
    रिना काम करती है। (Rina works.)
  • जिन क्रियाओं के अंत में ch, sh, x, s, o आता है, उनमें “es” लगता है:
    वह टीवी देखती है। (She watches TV.)
    बस पास होती है। (The bus passes.)
  • जिन क्रियाओं के अंत में “y” आता है और उससे पहले व्यंजन है, वहाँ “y” को “ies” से बदलते हैं:
    वह रोज़ पढ़ाई करती है। (She studies.)
