Lesson focus |
|---|
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about the auxiliary verb for "come." Firstly, what is the auxiliary verb for “to come?” |
| Hamza: It is آنا (aana). آنا is masculine, آتی is feminine and the plural and polite form is آتے . There are also past, present, and future forms of the verb. |
| Becky: There are full examples of these different tenses and forms in the lesson notes, but let’s hear a couple now. Can you give us an example of the simple present masculine? |
| Hamza: وه ہر روز آتا ہے |
| Becky: “He comes every day.” Now, what about the simple present feminine? |
| Hamza: وه ہر روز آتی ہے |
| Becky: “She comes every day.” And finally, the plural and polite form in simple present tense. |
| Hamza: وه ہر روز آتے ہے |
| Becky: So that’s “they come every day” and “he comes every day” too. How can we use this verb? |
| Hamza: We can use it to invite someone to something. |
| Becky: We can use it to invite someone to a party, for example, like in the dialogue! |
| Hamza: Right. کیا تم پارٹی میں آ سکتے ہو؟ |
| Becky: “Can you come to the party?” - that’s casual masculine. |
| Hamza: کیا تم پارٹی میں آ سکتی ہو؟ |
| Becky: “Can you come to the party?” - that’s casual feminine. After inviting someone to the party, we need to tell them about the time of the party. |
| Hamza: Yes, they need to know when the party is! |
| Becky: Can you give us some advice on how to do that? |
| Hamza: You can use تک , meaning “by”. |
| Becky: As in “by two p.m.” |
| Hamza: That’s دوپہر دو بجے تک.. You can also use پہلے . |
| Becky: That’s before, as in “before seven a.m.” |
| Hamza: صبح سات بجے سے پہلے. You might also need ساڑهے. |
| Becky: “Half past.” For example, “half past ten a.m.” |
| Hamza: That is صبح ساڑهے دس بجے. |
| Becky: Finally, let’s hear a time expression in a sentence. |
| Hamza: میں گیاره بجے جائوں گا |
| Becky: “I will leave at eleven.” |
