Tense: Present Simple – used to describe regular actions, activities, and habits that happen often.

Structure: Subject + verb + Object. (He = Subject, cuts = verb, the paper = Object)

Simple Rule: When you want to describe an action of dividing or separating something, use: Subject + action word + what is being acted upon.

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

کاغذ (Kagaz): Means "paper" – a masculine noun in Urdu

کاٹتا (Katta): Means "cuts" – 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. "Katta" is for "he" (masculine), "katti" is for "she" (feminine), and "katte" is for plural.
