اس کے پاس گڑیا ہے۔ – Uske paas gurya hai. – उसके पास एक गुड़िया है.
English: She has a doll.
Grammar Focus:
Tense: Present Simple – used to describe possession, ownership, and things that someone owns or has right now.
Structure: Subject + verb "have/has" + Object. (She = Subject, has = verb, a doll = Object)
Simple Rule: When you want to describe what someone owns or possesses, use: Subject + have/has + what they own or possess.
Urdu Insight:اس (Is): Means "her" or "that" – pronoun referring to a female person
کے پاس (Ke pass): Means "has" or "at/with" – phrase showing possession (literally means "at the side of")
گڑیا (Garia): Means "doll" – a feminine noun in Urdu
ہے (Hai): Means "is" – verb showing present time and possession
In Urdu: Possession is expressed differently than in English. The structure "is ke pass garia hai" literally translates to "at her side is a doll" but means "she has a doll". In English, we use "has" for possession.
Use case Sentences:
When to Use: When describing what someone owns, possesses, or has. Use this for describing belongings, family relationships, physical attributes, and ownership.
Examples: I have a car. You have a book. He has a dog. They have a house.
