Lesson 4: Simple present tense: Affirmative

सामान्य वर्तमान कालको प्रयोग साधारणतया हुने घटना र सधैँ सत्य हुने घटनामा हुन्छ । यसको निर्माण निम्न तरिकाले गर्न सकिन्छ । खान्छ, गर्छ, माया गर्छिन्, मन पराउँछु आदि भन्न यसको प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ । I, we, you, they, plural सँग verb 1 (infinitive) प्रयोग गरिन्छ भने  he, she, it, singular सँग verb5 प्रयोग गरिन्छ ।

The simple present tense is used to describe actions or states that are generally happening or are always true. The structure of this tense will be:

 

Affirmative:

I/we/you/they V1 read    like    work    live    watch      do     have
He/she/it V5 reads  likes   works  lives   watches  does  has

 

Structures in a gist:

Subject + v1/v5+ obj (खान्छ)

Subject+ do/does+ not+ v1+ obj (खाँदैन)

Do/Does+ subject+ v1+ obj? (खान्छ ?)

Wh+ do/does+ subject+ v1+ obj? (के खान्छ?)
