Future Tense and Mood

🚀 Hindi Verb Mastery: Future Tense & Mood

Imagine you have a magic crystal ball. You can see what will happen tomorrow, next week, or even next year! That’s exactly what future tense does in Hindi—it lets you talk about things that haven’t happened yet!

🎯 What You’ll Learn

Think of Hindi verbs like a time machine. Today, we’re going to learn how to:

• Talk about what will happen (Future Simple)
• Talk about what will be happening (Future Continuous)
• Talk about wishes and possibilities (Subjunctive Mood)
• Give commands and requests (Imperative Mood)
• Say “If this, then that” (Conditional Sentences)

🔮 Future Simple Tense

“I will do this tomorrow!”

The Magic Formula

Future Simple is like making a promise about tomorrow. You’re saying something WILL happen.

The Pattern:

Verb Root + गा/गी/गे

The ending changes based on who is doing the action:

🌟 Real Examples

खाना (to eat) → खाऊंगा/खाऊंगी

💡 Think of it this way:

When you say “मैं कल स्कूल जाऊंगा” (I will go to school tomorrow), you’re telling everyone your plan for tomorrow!

🌊 Future Continuous Tense

“I will be doing this at that time!”

The Picture in Your Mind

Imagine tomorrow at 5 PM. What will you be in the middle of doing? That’s Future Continuous!

The Pattern:

Verb Root + रहा/रही/रहे + होगा/होगी/होंगे

🎬 It’s Like a Movie Scene

Think of it as describing a scene from the future:

🌟 Real Examples

कल सुबह 7 बजे:

• मैं नहा रहा होऊंगा (I will be bathing)
• माँ खाना बना रही होंगी (Mom will be cooking)
• बच्चे सो रहे होंगे (Children will be sleeping)

💡 Quick Tip:

Use this when you want to say what someone will be busy doing at a specific time!

✨ Subjunctive Mood

“Maybe, possibly, hopefully!”

The Wish Factory

Subjunctive is like making a wish or talking about something that might happen. It’s not sure—it’s just possible!

The Pattern:

Verb Root + ए/ें/ओ

🎭 Two Main Uses

1. Wishes & Hopes (शायद / काश)

2. Polite Suggestions

🌟 Real Examples

💡 Remember:

Subjunctive = Things that are NOT certain. It’s the “maybe” language!

👆 Imperative Mood

“Do this! Please do this!”

The Command Center

Imperative is when you tell someone to do something. But in Hindi, we have different levels of politeness!

    A --> C["तुम Form<br/>Informal/Friendly"]
    A --> D["आप Form<br/>Formal/Respectful"]
    B --> E["जा! - Go!"]
    C --> F["जाओ - Go please"]
    D --> G["जाइए - Please go"]

🌟 Common Verbs in Imperative

💡 Golden Rule:

When in doubt, use आप form. It’s always safe to be polite!

🔄 Conditional Sentences

“If this happens, then that will happen!”

The If-Then Game

Conditional sentences are like cause and effect. “If” something happens, “then” something else will follow!

The Magic Words:

• अगर / यदि = If
• तो = Then

graph LR
    A["IF<br/>अगर/यदि"] --> B["CONDITION<br/>Something happens"]
    B --> C["THEN<br/>तो"]
    C --> D["RESULT<br/>Something follows"]

🎯 Three Types of Conditionals

Type 1: Real Possibility (Can Happen)

Type 2: Unlikely/Imaginary (Probably Won’t)

Type 3: Impossible (Didn’t Happen)

🌟 Real Life Examples

💡 Pattern Summary:

• Real: अगर + Future, तो + Future
• Imaginary: अगर + Past (ता/ती/ते), तो + Past (ता/ती/ते)
• Impossible: अगर + Past Perfect (होता), तो + Past (ता)
