In Hindi
सहायक क्रिया आगे आ जाती है — बस इतना ही सवाल है।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
You are coming tomorrow? | Are you coming tomorrow? A question moves "are" in front of "you". |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
Are you ready?
क्या तुम तैयार हो?
Are you okay?
क्या तुम ठीक हो?
also correct: Are you all right?
Are you busy?
क्या तुम व्यस्त हो?
Are you hungry?
क्या तुम भूखे हो?
Are you at home?
क्या तुम घर पर हो?
Is he your friend?
क्या वह तुम्हारा दोस्त है?
also correct: Is that your friend?
Is this your book?
क्या यह तुम्हारी किताब है?
Is this your phone?
क्या यह तुम्हारा फोन है?
Is she your sister?
क्या वह तुम्हारी बहन है?
Is the food ready?
क्या खाना तैयार है?
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
