==Simple Present tense and Present continuous tense==

* Simple Present tense:

I walk.

Main chlta hoon.

मैं चलता हूँ.

* Present continuous tense:

I am walking

Main chl rha hoon.

मैं चल रहा हूँ.

The verb here is ‘chl’ ‘चल’ . If you add ‘ta’ ‘ता’ in the verb then it is present tense and if you add ‘rha’ ‘रहा’ then it becomes present continuous. Let’s see another example.



* Simple Present tense:

I eat.

Main khata hoon.

मैं खाता हूँ.

* Present continuous tense:

I am eating.

Main kha rha hoon.

मैं खा रहा हूँ.

You can see the addition of ‘ta’ ‘ता ’ in the verb ‘kha’ ‘खा’ and similarly notice the use of ‘rha’ ‘रहा ’ in continuous tense.


==Verb is  TO  GO =  JAANAA =  जाना==
*Mai  paathshaalaa  (school)  jaataa hoon |  (For  Masculine) = I  go to school = मैं पाठशाला जाता हूँ ।
*Mai  paathshaalaa (school)  JAATEE  hoon | (For Female) = I  go to school =  मैं पाठशाला  जाती  हूँ ।
*Hum paathshaalaa  (school)  JAATAY  HAIN | (For plural) =  We  go to school.= हम पाठशाला  जाते  है ।

===Vacabulary===

*Mai = I  
*paathshaalaa =  school
*jaataa = go    
*hoon =  am
*JAATEE = go 
*JAATAY =  go

===Further explanation===

*Verb is  TO  GO =  JAANAA.  

When you make the sentence in Simple Present,  just  drop  NAA from the  verb / word  and  add  TAA (for  Male),  TEE (for  Female)  and TAY (for Plural),  So  JAANAA  turns into  JAATAA, JAATEE  and  JAATAY.


==Verb is  TO  EAT = Khaanaa = खाना==

*Mai shaakaahaaree  khaanaa khaataa hoon |  मैं शाकाहारी  खाना खाता  हूँ । = I am vegetarian / I eat  vegetarian food.
*Mai  shaakaahaaree  khaanaa  KHAATEE  hoon |   मैं  शाकाहारी  खाना   खाती हूँ । = I amvegetarian / I eat  vegetarian food.
*Hum shaakaahaaree  khaanaa  KHAATAY  hai |  हम शाकाहारी  खाना  खाते  है । = We are  vegetarian ?  We  eat  vegetarian food.
*Mai  saameesh khaanaa  khaataa hoon |  मैं सामिष खाना खाता हूँ । = I am non vegetarian  /   I eat  nonr  vegetarian.
*Mai  saameesh  khaanaa  KHATEE hoon |  मैं  सामिष खाना खाती हूँ । =   I am non vegetarian / I eat non vegetarian food.
*Hum  saameesh khaanaa  KHAATAY hai  |  हम  सामिष खाना खाए है । = We  are  non vegetarian / We  eat  non vegetarian food.
