Before you start: Reading simple sentences.
📖 Explanation
Grammar helps us make correct sentences. Naming words (संज्ञा / నామవాచకం): लड़का, किताब / పిల్లవాడు, పుస్తకం. Action words (क्रिया / క్రియ): खाना, दौड़ना / తినడం, పరుగెత్తడం.
Singular and plural: Hindi लड़का → लड़के, किताब → किताबें; Telugu పుస్తకం → పుస్తకాలు, పిల్లి → పిల్లులు.
In Hindi, verbs change with gender: 'लड़का खेलता है' but 'लड़की खेलती है'. Telugu verbs change with person and gender too: 'అతను వచ్చాడు', 'ఆమె వచ్చింది'.
Hindi: 'दो चिड़ियाँ उड़ रही हैं।' Telugu: 'రెండు పక్షులు ఎగురుతున్నాయి.' Both use the plural form.
✗ Grammar rules of English can be copied directly into Hindi or Telugu
✓ Each language has its own rules, like gender in Hindi verbs and plural endings in Telugu.
