وہ آہستہ بھاگتا ہے۔ – Woh aaista bhagta hai. – वह धीरे-धीरे दौड़ता है।

English: He runs slowly.

Grammar Focus:

Tense: Present Simple – used to describe regular actions and how they are performed, including the manner or speed of the action.

Structure: Subject + verb + Adverb. (He = Subject, runs = verb, slowly = Adverb showing how the action is done)

Simple Rule: When you want to describe an action and how it is performed, use: Subject + action word + adverb that describes the manner or speed.

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

آہستہ (Aahista): Means "slowly" – adverb that describes the manner or speed of the action

بھاگتا (Bhagta): Means "runs" – verb in masculine singular form matching the subject "he"

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

In Urdu: Adverbs describe how an action is performed. "Aahista" means slowly or gently. Verbs change their ending based on who is doing the action. "Bhagta" is for "he" (masculine), "bhagti" is for "she" (feminine), and "bhagte" is for plural.

Use case Sentences:

When to Use: When describing actions and how they are performed, including speed, manner, and style. Use this for describing the way someone does something.

Real-World: "He runs slowly in the morning to warm up his muscles before exercising." Or in Urdu: "Woh subah apni muscles ko exercise se pehle warm up karne ke liye aahista bhagta hai."

Synonyms / Alternatives:

Common Mistake:

❌ Mistake: "He slowly runs." (Wrong word order)

✅ Correct: "He runs slowly." (Subject + verb + adverb)

Why: In English, the adverb usually comes after the verb, not before it in most cases.

❌ Mistake: "He run slowly." (Wrong verb form)

✅ Correct: "He runs slowly." (Add 's' for he/she/it)

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