Learning any new language is like taking a fascinating journey, and Hindi is no exception. If you are from Singapore and have heard the stories of how the nation’s diverse culture blends English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil, you’ll know that every language has its way of expressing time. Hindi, with its rich history, is no different—it uses tenses to show when an action happens, just like English does. In this article, you’ll find simple explanations, examples, and practical lessons that will help you master tenses easily. Think of this as a roadmap, guiding you step by step in building sentences in Hindi and becoming confident in everyday conversations.

Understanding tenses is the foundation of creating meaningful sentences. Just as Singapore’s legends, like the story of Sang Nila Utama discovering the lion city, have a sequence of events, Hindi grammar uses tenses to bring life to events in the past, present, or future. Through examples and carefully crafted lessons, you will see how a single verb can transform a sentence, changing its meaning based on the tense.

QUICK FACT

Hindi is the most spoken native language in India, with more than 422 million Indian people speaking it as their first language. On top of that, another 130 million Indians speak Hindi as their second or even third language. These figures should not be surprising given that Hindi is the official language of the Indian government, along with English. With a total of more than 550 million speakers, over a population of nearly 1.4 billion, Hindi is an essential medium of communication in India.
If you are heading there for your studies, your work or just for holidays, getting to know the local language could come in very Hindi, mainly because India can be a very disorienting and unfamiliar territory.

Whether you’re a beginner or someone brushing up on your skills, this guide is designed for you. We encourage you to follow along with the examples, try forming your sentences, and share your reviews or questions as you progress. Think of this as your personal Hindi grammar coach, where each section builds on the previous lesson to give you a clear and structured learning experience.

Basics of Conjugation in Hindi

To conjugate verbs in Hindi, you must first identify the stem of the verb. This is pretty easy as every regular verb will end in -naa. By removing this -naa suffix, you found the stem of the verb.

The number of irregular verbs is limited,  so let's not worry about them for now.

Example: To read = Padhnaa >Padh is the stem of the verb, and naa is the infinitive suffix. You should also always remember:

  • Verbs have a different ending depending if the subject is masculine or feminine. It means that each verb for each tense and each pronoun will have two forms. The feminine form nearly always ends in -ee or -en whereas the masculine form ends either in -e or -aa
  • Unlike English, the second person pronoun is not the same according to who you speak. In English regardless if you are talking to your mate or the Prime Minister, you will use "you". In Hindi "you" can have three different forms "t?" is the "you" for your loved ones and maybe your closest friends, "tum" is the familiar "you" that you would use while speaking to your colleagues and "?p" is the formal and respectful "you" that you would use if speaking to your boss or the Indian Prime Minister.
  • Most Hindi verbs are regular, making it easy for you to learn as their conjugation will follow logic and identical patterns.

Present Tenses in Hindi

Present Indefinite in Hindi

A tense aims to set the action within a time frame. The present simple form is commonly used to describe an action or a fact that is true in the present, something that happens regularly or something that is always true.

In Hindi, to conjugate any verb in the present simple, you will use the auxiliary verb "to be" or "hona". See the declension below:


I am = Main hoon
You (intimate) are = Too hai
You (familiar)  are = Tum ho
You (formal) are = Aap hain
He / She / This  is = Voh / Yeh hai
We are = Ham hain
They / That are  = Ve / Ye  hain


Also, you need to know how to form the participle of a verb. Once you identified the stem of a verb, remove the infinitive suffix -naa and add either -taa (singular masculine), -te (plural masculine) or -tee (singular and plural feminine), this give you the participle.

The present simple is built as follow:

(Stem of the verb + present participle suffix -taa = Present participle of the verb) + Auxiliary "to be"

For "to read" this will unfold as: Padhnaa Padh + taa > Main Padhtaahoon  = I read

Simple isn't it?


I read= Main Padhtaa (-ee) hoon
You (intimate) read = Too Padhtaa (-ee) hai
You (familiar)  read = Tum Padhte (-tee) ho
You (formal) read = Aap Padhte (-ee) hain
He / She / This  read = Voh / Yeh Padhtaa (-ee) hai
We read = Ham Padhte (-ee) hain
They / That read = Ve / Ye Padhte (-ee) hain


Present Continous in Hindi

The present continuous is used when the action we are talking about takes place while we are talking, or to describe future plans. The mark of the continuous tense in English, no matter if it present, past or future, is the suffix -ing. In Hindi the equivalent of -ing is the word "raha"if a subject is a masculine singular, "rahe" if the subject is masculine plural and "rahi" if the subject is feminine (both singular and plural).

To form the present continuous in Hindi, you will need to use the stem of the verb followed by the Hindi word "rahaa" and then add the present tense of the auxiliary "to be".


I read= Main Padh raha (rahi) hoon
You (intimate) read = Too Padh raha (rahi) hai
You (familiar)  read = Tum Padh rahe (rahi) ho
You (formal) read = Aap Padh rahe (rahi) hain
He / She / This  read = Voh / Yeh Padh raha (rahi) hai
We read = Ham Padh rahe (rahi) hain
They / That read = Ve / Ye Padh rahe (rahi) hain

Present Perfect Tense – Simple Definition

The present perfect tense in Hindi is used to talk about actions that have been completed recently or have an effect on the present moment. It is similar to the English structure “have/has + past participle,” like I have read or She has eaten. In Hindi, the present perfect tense often uses the structure: Subject + ने (ne) + Object + Perfect Verb Form + है/हैं (hai/hain).


I have done = Main kar chuka (chuki) hoon

You (intimate) have done = Tu kar chuka (chuki) hai

You (familiar) have done = Tum kar chuke (chuki) ho

You (formal) have done = Aap kar chuke (chuki) hain

He / She / This has done = Voh / Yeh kar chuka (chuki) hai

We have done = Hum kar chuke (chuki) hain

They / That have done = Ve / Ye kar chuke (chuki) hain


Present Perfect Continuous in Hindi

The Present Perfect Continuous Tense in Hindi is used to describe actions that started in the past and are still continuing, often with a mention of how long the action has been happening. In English, this is formed with has been/have been + verb + ing, while in Hindi it uses the structure Subject + time reference + main verb (root + raha/rahi/rahe) + hai/hain. For example, I have been reading for two hours, which translates to Main do ghante se padh raha hoon. Here, the verb padh means “to read,” raha indicates the continuous aspect, and hoon places the sentence in the present tense. The phrase do ghante se adds the required time frame, making it present perfect continuous.


I have been doing it for two hours = Main do ghante se ise kar raha (rahi) hoon.
You (intimate) have been doing it for two hours = Tu do ghante se ise kar raha (rahi) hai.
You (familiar) have been doing it for two hours = Tum do ghante se ise kar rahe (rahi) ho.
You (formal) have been doing it for two hours = Aap do ghante se ise kar rahe (rahi) hain.
He / She / This has been doing it for two hours = Voh / Yeh do ghante se ise kar raha (rahi) hai.
We have been doing it for two hours = Hum do ghante se ise kar rahe (rahi) hain.
They have been doing it for two hours = Ve / Ye do ghante se ise kar rahe (rahi) hain.

Past Tenses in Hindi

To be able to conjugate in the past tenses in Hindi you will need to know the past tense of the auxiliary verb To be - Hona.


I was = Main tha (thi)
You (intimate) were= Too tha (thi)
You (familiar)  were= Tum the (thin)
You (formal) were= Aap the (thin)
He / She / This  was = Voh / Yeh tha (thi)
We were = Ham the (thin)
They / That were = Ve / Ye  the (thin)


Past Indefinite in Hindi

The Past Simple is used to describe an action or a fact that happened in the past, recent or not, that is finished.

To form the past simple in Hindi, you need to proceed the same way you did for the present simple but rather than using the present form of the verb "Hona" you will use the past tense. The form between parenthesis is the feminine conjugation.


I read= Main Padhtaa (-ee) tha (thi)
You (intimate) read = Too Padhtaa (-ee)  tha (thi)
You (familiar)  read = Tum Padhte (-tee) the (thin)
You (formal) read = Aap Padhte (-ee) the (thin)
He / She / This  read = Voh / Yeh Padhtaa (-ee)  tha (thi)
We read = Ham Padhte (-ee)  the (thin)
They / That read = Ve / Ye Padhte (-ee)  the (thin)


The Past Continuous

The past continuous is used to describe an action that started in the past but which is still happening at the time of speaking. It describes uncomplete or ongoing actions.

Once again, to write the past continuous form of a regular verb, simply use the same way you wrote the present continuous but replace the present tense form of the auxiliary by the past tense of "hona".


I was reading= Main Padh raha (rahi)  tha (thi)
You (intimate) were reading = Too Padh raha (rahi) tha (thi)
You (familiar)  were reading = Tum Padh rahe (rahi)  the (thin)
You (formal) were reading = Aap Padh rahe (rahi) the (thin)
He / She / This  was reading = Voh / Yeh Padh raha (rahi)  tha (thi)
We were reading = Ham Padh rahe (rahi) the (thin)
They / That were reading = Ve / Ye Padh rahe (rahi) the (thin)

Past Perfect Tense in Hindi

The Past Perfect Tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action or time in the past. In English, it is formed with had + past participle, for example, I had completed my homework before 8 PM. In Hindi, this tense is formed by combining the past form of the main verb with "tha," "thi," or "the" to indicate past completion. For example, I had eaten before she arrived is translated as Mainne uske aane se pehle khana kha liya tha (Pronunciation: Main-ne uske aane se pehle khaana khaa liyaa thaa). The key feature of this tense is that it indicates which action occurred first when discussing two past actions.


I had played = Main khel chuka (chuki) tha.
You (intimate) had played = Tu khel chuka (chuki) tha.
You (familiar) had played = Tum khel chuke (chuki) the.
You (formal) had played = Aap khel chuke (chuki) the.
He / She / This had played = Voh / Yeh khel chuka (chuki) tha (thi).
We had played = Hum khel chuke (chuki) the.
They had played = Ve / Ye khel chuke (chuki) the.


Past Perfect Continuous in Hindi

The Past Perfect Continuous Tense in Hindi is used to express an action that started in the past, continued for a certain duration, and stopped before another past event. In English, this tense is formed using had been + verb + ing, such as I had been reading for two hours when she arrived. In Hindi, this is translated using the verb root plus raha, rahi, rahe (to show continuity), followed by tha, thi, the (to indicate the past), along with a time expression like do ghante se (for two hours). For example, I had been reading for two hours translates to Main do ghante se padh raha tha (for males) or Main do ghante se padh rahi thi (for females).


I had been doing it for two hours = Main do ghante se ise kar raha (rahi) tha.

You (familiar) had been writing since yesterday = Tum kal se likh rahe (rahi) the.

He had been working for three hours = Voh teen ghante se kaam kar raha tha.

She had been watching television since Monday = Woh somvaar se TV dekh rahi thi.

We had been talking for a long time = Hum kaafi der se baat kar rahe the.

They had been playing cricket for three hours = Ve teen ghante se cricket khel rahe the.

Future Tenses in Hindi

The Simple Future

This tense is used for many different reasons: describing a future event, to indicate the willingness (I will) or non-willingness (I won't) of the subject, to give an order (You will!) or an invitation (Will you?)

In Hindi, this tense neither requires the participle of the verb nor the use of the auxiliary "hona". Instead, the Hindi conjugation uses a unique suffix for each pronoun marking the future tense.

The form between parenthesis is the feminine conjugation.


I will read= Main Padhunga (-ungi)
You (intimate)  will read= Too Padhega  (-ungi)
You (familiar)  will read= Tum Padhoge  (-ungi)
You (formal) will read= Aap Padhenge  (-ungi)
He / She / This  will read= Voh / Yeh Padhega  (-ungi)
We will read= Ham Padhenge (-ungi)
They / That will read= Ve / Ye Padhenge (-ungi)


The Future Continuous

This tense is used to describe an action or state that is expected to happen in the future but that will not be completed.

In English, we use the auxiliary "to be" in the future tense form (i.e . will) and we add the suffix -ing at the end of the verb.

The Hindi conjugation is rather similar as we use the future tense of the auxiliary "hona" to conjugate regular verbs.


I will be = Main hunga (hungi)
You (intimate)  will be = Too hoga (hungi)
You (familiar)  will be= Tum hoge (hungi)
You (formal) will be= Aap honge (hungi)
He / She / This  will be= Voh / Yeh hoga (hungi)
We will be = Ham honge (hungi)
They / That will be= Ve / Ye  honge (hungi)

I will be reading= Main Padh raha (rahi) hunga (hungi)
You (intimate) will be reading = Too Padh raha (rahi) hunga (hungi)
You (familiar)  will be reading = Tum Padh rahe (rahi)  hoge (hungi)
You (formal) will be reading = Aap Padh rahe (rahi) honge (hungi)
He / She / This  will be reading = Voh / Yeh Padh raha (rahi)  hunga (hungi)
We will be reading = Ham Padh rahe (rahi) honge (hungi)
They / That will be reading = Ve / Ye Padh rahe (rahi) honge (hungi)


Future Perfect in Hindi

The Future Perfect Tense in Hindi is used to describe an action that will be completed before a certain time or event in the future. In English, this tense is formed using will have + past participle, as in I will have completed my work before you arrive. In Hindi, we use the verb root with chuka/chuki/chuke to show completion, followed by hoga/hogi/honge to indicate the future. For example, I will have finished my homework is translated as Main apna kaam khatam kar chuka honga (for males) or Main apna kaam khatam kar chuki hongi (for females).

When learning this tense, it helps to study reviews of grammar resources and structured lessons to understand its nuances. A common case of confusion arises when learners mix up the Future Perfect with the simple Future Tense. For example, Main kaam karunga means "I will do the work," whereas Main kaam kar chuka honga means "I will have done the work." Recognising the word chuka/chuki/chuke as a marker of completion is essential


I will have done this work = Main yeh kaam kar chuka (chuki) honga (hungi).

You (familiar) will have eaten by then = Tum tab tak kha chuke (chuki) hoge.

He will have reached home = Voh ghar pahunch chuka hoga.

She will have completed the task = Woh kaam khatam kar chuki hogi.

We will have learned the lesson by tomorrow = Hum kal tak paath seekh chuke honge.

They will have left before we arrive = Ve hamare pahunchne se pehle ja chuke honge

Future Perfect Continuous in Hindi

The Future Perfect Continuous Tense in Hindi is used to express an action that will have been continuing for a certain period before a specified point in the future. In English, it is formed as will have been + verb + ing, for example, I will have been working for five hours by the time you arrive. In Hindi, this tense is constructed using the verb root + raha / rahi / rahe, followed by hoga / hogi / honge, and a time expression like do ghante se (for two hours). For example, I will have been reading for two hours translates to Main do ghante se padh raha (rahi) honga (hungi).

Learners often get confused between the Future Continuous and the Future Perfect Continuous, especially in the case of time markers. While the Future Continuous simply says an action will be happening (Main padh raha honga – I will be reading), the Future Perfect Continuous adds the duration (Main do ghante se padh raha honga – I will have been reading for two hours). Going through structured lessons and reviews of grammar guides can make this tense easier to understand, especially since the use of se (since/for) is critical here.


I will have been doing this for two hours = Main do ghante se yeh kar raha (rahi) honga (hungi).

You (familiar) will have been working since morning = Tum subah se kaam kar rahe (rahi) hoge.

He will have been reading for a week = Voh ek hafte se padh raha hoga.

She will have been waiting since 5 PM = Woh paanch baje se intezaar kar rahi hogi.

We will have been practising for a long time = Hum kaafi der se abhyas kar rahe honge.

They will have been playing since yesterday = Ve kal se khel rahe honge.
