(Your English teacher is shook — Explained in detail with clear examples in English and Hindi)

मैं सीधे, सटीक और उदाहरणों के साथ समझाऊँगा — अंग्रेज़ी और हिन्दी दोनों में।

🔑 The MAIN Mistake (मुख्य गलती)

Not matching the verb to the subject — i.e., wrong subject–verb agreement in the Present Simple.

Wrong: He go to school.
Right: He goes to school.
Hindi explanation: जब subject he / she / it या कोई singular noun हो, तो verb में -s / -es लगाना ज़रूरी है।

❗ Why this happens (क्यों होती है ये गलती)

Learners translate directly from Hindi (where verbs don't change the same way).
Confusion between Present Simple and Present Continuous.
Forgetting the special pattern in negative and interrogative forms (use of do/does).
Irregular verbs and spellings with -y → -ies, -ch/-sh/-ss → -es rules cause mistakes.

✅ Quick rule (त्वरित नियम)

He / She / It / Singular noun → verb + s / es / ies.
Example: She works. — वह काम करती है।
I / You / We / They / Plural noun → base form (no s).
Example: They play. — वे खेलते हैं।
Negative / Question → use do / does + base verb.
He does not (doesn't) go. — Does he go?

🚫 Common error patterns & fixes (गलतियाँ और सुधार)

1) Forgetting -s with he/she/it

Wrong: She study English.
Right: She studies English.
Hindi: She के साथ studies होगा — He/She/It + s/es/ies।

2) Adding -s incorrectly with I/you/we/they

Wrong: I eats breakfast.
Right: I eat breakfast.
Hindi: I/You/We/They के साथ verb की base form रहेगी।

3) Using main verb instead of auxiliary in negatives/questions

Wrong (negative): He not goes to school.
Right: He does not go to school.
Wrong (question): Goes he to school?
Right: Does he go to school?
Hindi: नकार और प्रश्न में main verb base (V1) रहेगा; सहायता के लिए do / does लगाते हैं।

4) Mistaking Present Simple for Present Continuous

Wrong: I am going to school every day. (for routine)
Right: I go to school every day.
Hindi: रोज़ की आदतों के लिए Present Simple चाहिए; अभी चल रहे क्रिया के लिए Present Continuous।

5) Spelling changes with verbs ending in y, ch, sh etc.

try → tries (not trys)
watch → watches
Hindi: अगर verb -y पर खत्म होता है और उससे पहले consonant है, तो y → ies।

🔍 Examples — Wrong → Right → Explanation (English + Hindi)

Wrong: He play football.
Right: He plays football.
Hindi: He के साथ plays (s)।
Wrong: They goes to market.
Right: They go to market.
Hindi: They के साथ base form go।
Wrong: She not like coffee.
Right: She does not like coffee.
Hindi: नकार के लिए does not + base verb।
Wrong: Do she come here?
Right: Does she come here?
Hindi: प्रश्न के लिए does + subject + base verb।
Wrong: He go to school every day.
Right: He goes to school every day.
Hindi: आदत के लिए Present Simple और He के साथ goes।
Wrong: I watches TV.
Right: I watch TV.
Hindi: I के साथ verb में s नहीं लगेगा।

✍️ Handy mini-grammar checklist (जब लिखो/बोलो)

Identify the subject (Is it he/she/it or I/you/we/they?).
If he/she/it → add s/es/ies to main verb in positive sentences.
For negatives/questions use do (I/you/we/they) or does (he/she/it) + base verb.
For habits/regular actions use Present Simple; for actions happening now use Present Continuous.
Apply spelling rules: try → tries, watch → watches, go → goes.

🎯 Extra common confusions (short answers)

I am / He is: I am happy. — not I is happy.
(हिंदी: I के साथ am; He/She/It के साथ is)
Always + Present Continuous?
Use always with Present Simple for habitual actions.
She always arrives late. — सही।
(But for annoying frequent actions you may use Present Continuous: He is always complaining.)

🔁 Practice — Correct these (with answers)

He want to come. → He wants to come.
Does they like coffee? → Do they like coffee?
She don't know the answer. → She doesn't know the answer.
My brother wash the car every Sunday. → My brother washes the car every Sunday.
Why you cry? → Why do you cry? or Why are you crying? (context dependent)

✅ Final Tips to stop this mistake (अंतिम सुझाव)

Read short texts aloud and notice verbs with he/she/it.
Speak in simple sentences: practice [Subject + Verb + Object] patterns.
Make 10 daily habit sentences about your routine (I eat, I wake up, He studies, etc.).
When correcting, always ask: Who is the subject? → then choose verb-form.

📌 Quick Reference Table (Very quick glance)
