Questions students ask

What is a verb?

A verb (क्रिया) is a word that shows an action or a state and it forms the predicate of a sentence. In practice, identify tense and subject to choose the correct verb form for simple, continuous and perfect constructions.

How to choose 'has' or 'have'?

Use 'has' with third-person singular subjects (he/she/it, singular nouns) and 'have' with I/you/we/they and plural nouns. For perfect tenses, pair has/have with the past participle: she has eaten, they have gone.

Difference between infinitive and gerund?

Infinitive (to + base) often shows purpose or follows certain verbs; gerund (-ing) functions as a noun and can be a subject or object. Some verbs change meaning depending on whether you use infinitive or gerund.

How do I form present perfect and when to use it?

Present perfect = has/have + past participle; use it for actions with present relevance or past actions with present results (e.g., I have finished my work). Choose has/have based on the subject's number and person.
