Week 21

   We started off the day reviewing the ओ maatraa with the children. We then spend much of the class doing verbal exercises.

  Recall how we say the following sentence in Hindi: "I am coming"

"Main aa rahii hoon" (girl)  "Main aa rahaa hoon" (boy)

  If you replace "I" in the sentence with a noun, then the sentence ends in "hai" instead of "hoon". So, "The king is coming" becomes:

"Raja aa rahaa hai."

  Have your child recognize the patterns:

I am coming  =  Main aa rahaa hoon.
Arjun is coming = Arjun aa rahaa hai.
The queen is coming =  Raanii aa rahii hai.

A couple of weeks ago we learned the verbs: Coming, Going.
Today we learned these new verbs: Eating, Drinking.

Come = Aa
Go = Jaa
Eat = Khaa
Drink = Pii

I am eating = Main khaa rahaa/rahii hoon
I am drinking = Main pii rahaa/rahii hoon

Homework this week is all oral. Have your child look at these sentences carefully. Then have your child say the sentences in Hindi. Be sure that they are ending the sentences with the correct word (Hai or Hoon).

1) I am eating.
2) The elephant is eating.
3) I am drinking.
4) The queen is drinking
5) I am coming.
6) The king is coming
7) I am going.
7) The elephant is going.
