I always do and I’m always doing
| ‘We always do something’ भन्नाले हामी सधैँ यो काम गर्छौं भन्ने अर्थ लाग्छ
We always walk to work. म सधैँ अफिससम्म/कामसम्म हिड्छु । They always burrow salt from us. उनीहरू सधैँ हाम्रोबाट नुन लान्छन् । ‘We’re always doing something’ भन्नाले हामी प्राय: वा धेरै यो काम गर्छौं भन्ने अर्थ लाग्छ । You’ve lost my key again. You’re always losing things. यहाँ प्रयोग भएको always ले निकै वा धेरै भन्ने अर्थ दिन्छ । अरू उदाहरणहरू हेरौं; He’s always watching television. He should do something more active. ऊ निकै टेलिभिजन हेर्छ । उसले कुनै सक्रिय काम गर्नुपर्छ । Umesh is never quiet. He’s always complaining. उमेर कहिल्यै शान्त बस्दैन । ऊ सधैँ कचकच गरिरहन्छ । |
Non-continuous verbs: केही यस्ता verbs हरू छन् जसलाई सामान्यतया continuous tense मा प्रयोग गर्न मिल्दैन । यसको अर्थ हो, तिनीहरूलाई continuous tense बाहेकका tense मा प्रयोग गरिनुपर्छ । ती verbs हरूको सूची निम्न अनुसार दिइएको छ:
| Like love hate
Want need prefer Know realize suppose Mean understand believe Remember belong contain Consist depend seem उदाहरणहरू: ऊ चकलेट मन पराउँछ । He likes chocolates. म ढिलो हुन मन गराउँदिन । I don’t like to be late. रामलाई सीता भन्दा हरिको प्रेमिका मन पर्छ । Ram prefers Hari’s girl friend to Sita. तिमीले भन्न खोजेको कुरा के हो ? What do you mean? म तिमीलाई घृणा गर्न मन पराउँछु । I love to hate you. मलाई सम्झन्छौं ? Do you remember me? मलाई बुझ्दैछौं ? Do you understand me? ऊ धनी छ जस्तो छ । He seems to be rich. यो ब्लगमा अंग्रेजी पाठहरू समावेश छन् । This blog contains English lessons. मान्छेहरू सामान्यतया अरूलाई विश्वास गर्दैनन् । People don’t usually believe others. म तिमीलाई घृणा गरिरहेको छुइन । I don’t hate you. तिमी अझै आफ्ना बा-आमामा आश्रित छौं । You still depend on your parents. मेरो खाँचो परिरहेको हो ? Do you need me? |
| Think लाई लाग्नुको अर्थमा प्रयोग गर्दा पनि यसलाई present tense मा राखिनु पर्छ । What do you think I should do? मैले के गर्नु पर्छ जस्तो लाग्छ ? I think you should marry. मलाई लाग्छ तिमीले बिहे गर्नु पर्छ । तर अन्य अवस्थामा यो क्रिया दुबै काममा प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ । He only thinks about you. ऊ तिम्रो बारेमा मात्र सोच्छ । He is thinking of studying medicine. ऊ चिकित्साशास्त्र पढ्ने बारेमा सोच्दैछ । |
| ‘Have’ लाई ‘सँग हुनु’ अर्थमा कहिल्यै पनि continuous tense मा लग्न मिल्दैन । जस्तै, मसँग केही साथीहरू छन् । I have a few friends. उनको टाउको दुखेको छ । She has a headache. तर राम नुहाउँदै छ । Ram is having a bath. उनीहरू जमिन हेर्दैछन् । They are having a look at the land. |
| See hear smell taste पनि non-continuous verbs हुन् ।
त्यहाँकी केटी देख्छौ ? Do you see the girl over there? यो कोठो गनाउँदैछ । झ्याल खोल न बिन्ती । This room smells. Please open the window. तर See लाई भने present continuous tense प्रयोग गर्न मिल्छ । तर यस्तो प्रयोगमा भविष्यमा भेट्नु भन्ने अर्थ आउँछ । म भोलि चिकित्सकलाई भेट्दै छु । I am seeing the doctor tomorrow. |
| ‘be’ लाई सामान्यतया present continuous tense मा प्रयोग गर्न नमिले पनि selfish, generous, supportive, friendly आदि जस्ता व्यवहारगत/गुणात्मक विशेषणहरूसँग यसको प्रयोग हुन सक्छ । तर अर्थ नकारात्मक जस्तै हुन्छ । निम्न उदाहरणहरूलाई हेरौं :-
ऊ दानी छ । ऊ दानी देखिँदैछ (तर सामान्यतया दानी छैन) He is generous. He is being generous. उनीहरू मित्रवत् छन् । उनीहरू मित्रवत् देखिँदैछन् (तर सामान्यतया छैनन्) They are friendly. They are being friendly. |
| Look र Feel दुबै कालमा प्रयुक्त हुन्छ र दुबै कालमा यिनले एउटै अर्थ दिन्छन् । I am feeling cold. I feel cold. (माथिका दुबै वाक्यको अर्थ- मलाई जाडो भयो भन्ने हुन्छ) You are looking stunning. You look stunning (तिमी मनमोहक देखिएका छौं ) |
