🤯 STOP Making This Present Simple Tense Mistake!
🔑 Main Mistake (मुख्य गलती)
Not matching the verb to the subject — wrong subject–verb agreement in Present Simple.
Wrong: He go to school.
Right: He goes to school.
Hindi: 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.
- Confusion between Present Simple & Present Continuous.
- Forgetting do/does in negatives & questions.
- Spelling rules: y → ies, ch/sh/ss → es.
✅ 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?
