میرے والد کام کرتے ہیں۔ – Mere walid kaam karte hain. – मेरे पिता काम करते हैं.

English: My father works.

Grammar Focus:

Tense: Present Simple – used for regular work, duties, or professional activities.

Structure: Subject + Verb (base form, add -s/-es for third-person singular) + Object/Complement (optional).

Urdu Insight: "کام کرتے ہیں" (kaam karte hain) combines "کام" (work) with "کرتے ہیں" (karte hain) to indicate a habitual or professional action. "کرتے ہیں" (karte hain) is used for third-person singular masculine subjects like "والد" (waalid) in Urdu; for feminine, it would be "کرتی ہیں" (karti hain).

Usage Tip: This structure is perfect for describing someone’s job, routine tasks, or regular responsibilities, often without an object if the work is implied.

Use case Sentences:

My father works in an office daily.

My mother works as a teacher.

Synonyms / Alternatives:

My father labors.

My father is employed.

Common Mistake:

❌ My father work. (Incorrect verb form for singular subject.)

✅ My father works. (Correct with third-person singular "works".)

Short Explanation:

"کام کرتے ہیں" (kaam karte hain) ka matlab hai mere waalid aksar kaam karte hain.

"والد" (waalid) subject hai, aur "کام" (kaam) action ya responsibility dikhata hai.

Yeh sentence ek routine ya professional activity ko bayan karta hai.
