As a Hindi language teacher with 20 years of experience, I know that mastering the tenses of Hindi verbs can be challenging for beginners. However, learning how to conjugate verbs is essential for developing a strong foundation in Hindi grammar. In this lesson, we will dive deeper into Hindi verbs and conjugation.

Verbs in Hindi
In Hindi, verbs play a vital role in sentence formation. A verb describes the action or state of being of the subject of the sentence. Most Hindi verbs are regular, meaning that they follow predictable patterns for conjugation across tense and conjugation number.
It's essential to note that unlike English, the Hindi verb remains constant in form regardless of who is performing the action. Instead, Hindi uses subject markers before the verb to indicate the subject performing the action.
Tenses of Hindi Verbs
There are three primary tenses in Hindi: present, past, and future. Each tense has four aspects: simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous, resulting in a total of twelve conjugations per verb. To construct a sentence using a particular tense, you must select the correct subject marker and verb form.
• Present tense: describes an action occurring now or habitually. • Future tense: describes an action that will occur in the future. • Past tense: describes an action that happened in the past.
Conjugating Hindi Verbs
To conjugate a regular Hindi verb, you must add the appropriate suffix to the root word. The suffixes change depending on the tense and gender of the subject. Below is an example of the verb "to be" in three tenses:
| Hindi | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| हूं (hu) | whoo | I am |
| था (tha) | thaa | I was |
| होगा (hoga) | hoh-gaa | I will be |
Note that each conjugation has a unique suffix added to the root word होना (hona) meaning "to be".

Learning Hindi verbs can be challenging, but here are a few tips to help you:
- Memorize the most common verbs and their conjugations.
- Practice using Hindi verbs in context.
- Learn the subject markers to indicate the subject performing the action.
