Every English sentence needs a subject and a verb, in that order, and English is far stricter about that order than Hindi is. Hindi puts the verb last and can drop the subject entirely; English cannot do either. These are the structures that build the frame — "there is", "it is", the verb "be" as the main verb — and getting them automatic is what stops a sentence collapsing halfway through.

Example 1 of 4
हम साथ रहते हैं।
We live together.
English puts the doer first, then the action, then the thing. That order almost never changes.
We meet every day.
English puts the doer first, then the action, then the thing. That order almost never changes.
My sister studies English.
English puts the doer first, then the action, then the thing. That order almost never changes.
He studies with me.
English puts the doer first, then the action, then the thing. That order almost never changes.
Every one of these is a sentence Indian-English speakers genuinely produce — not a textbook example.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
Ram market goes. | Ram goes to the market. Hindi puts the verb last. English puts it second, right after the subject. Who does what → |
He engineer. | He is an engineer. Hindi can drop the linking verb. English cannot — is, am or are must be there. Saying what something is → |
I go every day to office. | I go to the office every day. Place first, then time: to the office (place), every day (time). Where and when go at the end → |
She gave to me the file. | She gave me the file. With the person first there is no "to". Use "to" only when the thing comes first. Two objects → |
They made him as captain. | They made him captain. No "as" after make, call or elect in this pattern. Calling something something → |
She very tired. | She is very tired. Hindi lets you drop the verb here; English never does. am / is / are → |
They was at home. | They were at home. They is plural, so it takes were. was / were → |
He have two brothers. | He has two brothers. With he, she or it, have becomes has. have / has for owning → |
