Understanding sentences
What is a Sentence?
A sentence is a collection of words arranged in a particular order, so that
it makes sense.
Sentences have 3 parts:
Subject
Verb
Panga
* Subject and verb are necessary for every sentence, Panga parts are
option parts which are added in order to add extra information in the
sentence.
Sentence Structure in spoken English = Subject + Verb + Panga
Types of Panga:
Object
Adjective
Adverb
Noun
All the sentences in English Language follow one of the following
patterns:
Subject - Verb
This type of sentence begins with a core sentence such as “Rohan
walks.” Here, “Rohan” is the subject and “walks” is the verb.
He Runs
They shouted
Subject - Verb - Object
These sentences begin with a core sentence such as “She is playing a
guitar.” In this sentence, “She” is the subject, “is playing” is the verb, and
“a guitar” is the object.
I am riding the bike.
Ram was watching the movie
Subject - Verb - Adjective
This type of sentence begins with a core sentence like “He is
handsome.” Here, “he” is the subject, “is” is the verb, and “handsome” is
the adjective.
My car is very beautiful.
Our lunch was delicious.
Subject - Verb - Adverb
These sentences begin with a core sentence such as “The girl walked
away.” In this sentence, “the girl” is the subject, “walked” is the verb, and
“away” is the adverb.
He talks very fast.
They are walking slowly
Subject - Verb - Noun
Sentences of this type begin with a core sentence such as “The
professor is a woman.” Here, “the professor” is the subject, “is” is the
verb, and “a woman” is the noun.

Note - It is possible to have more than one subject and verb in one
sentence, you can add them using “ , “ and “AND”.
Introduction to Tenses
Tenses are a method we use to refer to time in English language.
There are three primary tenses: Present, Past, Future
Present Tense: Jo ho raha hai
Past Tense: Jo ho chuka hai
Future Tense: jo hone wala hai
Sentence 1 Sentence 2
Present Tense I work in a corporate office. They eat the apples.
Past Tense I worked as a fireman. They ate the apple.
Future Tense I will work as a pilot. They will eat the apples.
We can see that the subject and the Panga part remains the same
but the verb is changing.
In English language verbs change their forms in different tenses
and thus verbs become the identifier of tenses.
But if we look at verbs in the case of past tense “eat” become “ate” In
future tense the verb remains the same but a new word “will” is added.
But how do we know which verb is going to change into what?
Now every verb has different forms - Let's first talk about the two basic
forms of verbs.
Forms Of Verbs
Every Verb has two forms: Simple Forms, Past Form
We use simple form of verbs for Present tense and Future tense, but
verb changes to past form while forming past tense sentences.
We discussed who different examples just now, if we compare both of
their past form we can see that one has -ed added to the main verb and
the other just changed the word entirely.
There are two types of verbs (Acche aur Naalayak) and they change
forms according to their types.
Note - Refer to the forms of verb PDF to understand the concept
better.
Past Tense
The Basic Sentence Structure will remain the same for Past tense as
well but there will be a slight change, the Verb is going to change to its
past form.
Therefore the Sentence structure for Past Tense becomes:
Subject + Verb (Past form) + Panga
Let's take an example
Mai kal College gya tha - we can see that
Subject - Mai / I
Verb - Gya tha / Go
Panga - Object - College
So we need to change the the verb now
Past for Go is Went, Therefore the sentence becomes “I went to the
college yesterday”
Future Tense
The sentence structure for future tense also follows the similar patterns
with just an addition of “WILL” before the verb.
Therefore the sentence structure becomes:
Subject + will + Verb + Panga
For example “ Mai kal college jaunga”
Subject - Mai / I
Verb - Gya tha / Go
Panga - Object - College
Therefore, the sentence becomes “I will go to college tomorrow”.
Good Manners
Please: Kisi ko request karne ke liye hum ‘please’ bolte hai
Example - Please pass me the water || Please do this work for me
|| Please reduce the volume
‘Thank you’ is dhanyawaad.
Example - Aapko bahut time se ek naya phone chahiye, aur aapke
bade bhai/behen ne aapke liye ye phone laaya.
Toh aap unhe kya bolenge?: Thank you so much for the phone. I
love it.
Response to Thank you
Example - You are welcome || It’s alright || My pleasure
Maafi mangna - Sorry
Example - Agar aapse koi dost ya pariwaar waale gussa ho jaye,
toh aap bolenge
“I am sorry, please forgive me”
Sympathy - Sahanubhuti
Example - अगर किसी ररश्तेदार िा आिस्मिि किधि हो जाता है तो आप
उििे पररवार-गिोों िो िैसे सहािुभूकत दें गे? (I am sorry for your loss.)
Excuse Me - Disturb karne ke liye
Example - Excuse me for a minute || Please excuse me, I have to
go to the toilet ||
