English: He buys a pen.

Grammar Focus:

Tense: Present Simple – used to describe actions that happen regularly, habitually, or in general statements.

Structure: Subject + verb + Object. (He = Subject, buys = verb, a pen = Object)

Simple Rule: When you want to describe an action someone performs, use: Subject + action word + what they are doing it to.

وہ (Woh): Means "he" – the person doing the action

قلم (Qalam): Means "pen" – a masculine noun in Urdu

خریدتا (Khareedta): Means "buys" – verb in masculine singular form matching the subject "he"

ہے (Hai): Means "is" – helper verb showing present time with singular subject

In Urdu: Verbs change their ending based on who is doing the action. "Khareedta" is for "he" (masculine), "khareedi" is for "she" (feminine), and "kharedte" is for plural.

Common Mistake:

❌ Mistake: "He a pen buys." (Wrong word order)

✅ Correct: "He buys a pen." (Add 's' for he/she/it)

Why: For "he/she/it" in Present Simple, you must add 's' to the verb.
