ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਝਲਕ
ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਮੂਲ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ
Agreement links verbs and adjectives to gender, number, person and honorificity, sometimes shifted by case marking.
ਸੀਤਾ ਗਈ, ਰਾਮ ਗਿਆ।
Sita went-feminine, Ram went-masculine.
ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਸਿੱਖੀ ਜਾ ਰਹੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ
English agreement is limited but important: third-person singular present -s, be forms, demonstratives, and pronouns.
She walks to work.
walks agrees with she
Learners often omit third-person -s or mismatch this/these and there is/are.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
