Understanding Hindi Present Continuous Tense
In Hindi, the Present Continuous Tense is used to talk about actions that are happening right now. It is like saying 'I am eating' or 'She is playing' in English.
Important Points
  • Use 'रहा' for masculine singular subjects.
  • Use 'रही' for feminine singular subjects.
  • Use 'रहे' for plural subjects or formal singular subjects.
  • Add 'हूँ' for first person singular (I).
  • Add 'है' for third person singular (he, she, it) and formal second person singular (you).
  • Add 'हैं' for plural subjects or formal singular subjects.
Examples
  • मैं खा रहा हूँ। (I am eating.)
  • वह गाना गा रही है। (She is singing a song.)
  • वे खेल रहे हैं। (They are playing.)
To make the Present Continuous Tense, you start with the verb that tells what action is happening. Then, you add 'रहा', 'रही', or 'रहे' based on who is doing the action. Finally, you add 'हूँ', 'है', or 'हैं' to complete the sentence.
Examples
  • तुम पढ़ रहे हो। (You are reading.)
  • हम नाच रहे हैं। (We are dancing.)
  • वह सो रहा है। (He is sleeping.)
