Note

Sandy is a girl, so she used feminine gender words (feminine verb suffixes). When a boy uses these sentences he will have to use ‘rehta’, ‘aaya’, ‘karta’ and ‘chalta’ instead of ‘rehti’, ‘aayi’, ‘karti’ and ‘chalti’.

Pay attention to the pronunciation of the following words

‘Hoon’- the ‘n’ is silent but the ending is nasal.

‘Main’- the ‘n’ is silent but the ending is glottal.

‘Mein’- the ‘n’ is silent and the word sounds flat
