درخت سبز ہے۔ – Darakhat sabaz hai, – पेड़ हरा है.

English: The tree is green.

Grammar Focus:

Tense: Present Simple – used to describe the color or physical appearance of something right now or generally true.

Structure: Subject + verb "is" + Adjective. (The tree = Subject, is = verb, green = Adjective describing the tree's color)

Simple Rule: When you want to describe what color something is, use: Subject + is/are + word that describes its color.

درخت (Darrakht): Means "tree" – a masculine noun in Urdu

سبز (Sabz): Means "green" – adjective that describes the color

ہے (Hai): Means "is" – shows present time and singular subject

In Urdu: Adjectives like "sabz" can be used the same way for both masculine and feminine nouns. The verb "hai" shows it's singular. For plural, you would say "Darakht sabz hain" (trees are green).

Use case Sentences:

When to Use: When describing colors and the visual appearance of objects and things. Use this for identifying objects by color, describing nature, and visual characteristics.

Common Mistake:

❌ Mistake: "The trees is green." (Wrong verb)

✅ Correct: "The trees are green." (Use "are" for plural)

Why: Use "is" only for singular nouns. Use "are" for plural (more than one).
