Tenses 2
A review topic that puts the present, past and future endings side by side so the time word and the ending stay in step.
Tenses — Present, past and future, and how the ending changes with time.
The same stem carries the time: 가요 (go), 갔어요 (went), 갈 거예요 (will go). The time word at the front and the ending at the back must agree.
एक ही तना काल बताता है: 가요 (जाता हूँ), 갔어요 (गया), 갈 거예요 (जाऊँगा)। आरंभ का समय-शब्द और अंत का रूप मेल खाने चाहिए।
Present: -아/어요. Past: -았/었어요. Future: -(으)ㄹ 거예요. Progressive: -고 있어요. Past perfect: -았었어요.
वर्तमान: -아/어요। भूत: -았/었어요। भविष्य: -(으)ㄹ 거예요। अपूर्ण: -고 있어요। पूर्ण भूत: -았었어요।
어제는 비가 왔어요 (Yesterday it rained). 지금은 비가 와요 (Now it is raining). 내일도 비가 올 거예요 (Tomorrow it will rain too).
어제는 비가 왔어요 (कल बारिश हुई)। 지금은 비가 와요 (अब बारिश हो रही है)। 내일도 비가 올 거예요 (कल भी बारिश होगी)।
A sentence like 어제 갈 거예요 clashes: 어제 is past but 갈 거예요 is future. Check the time word first, then pick the ending that matches it.
어제 갈 거예요 जैसा वाक्य टकराव पैदा करता है: 어제 भूत है पर 갈 거예요 भविष्य। पहले समय-शब्द देखें, फिर उससे मेल खाता अंत चुनें।
When a question asks 갔어요?, answer with the past. When it asks 갈 거예요?, answer with the future. Copying the tense of the question is the fastest way to stay correct.
जब प्रश्न 갔어요? हो तो उत्तर भूत में दें। जब 갈 거예요? हो तो उत्तर भविष्य में दें। प्रश्न का काल दोहराना सही रहने का सबसे तेज़ उपाय है।
