<span style="font-weight: 400;">When we talk about the </span><b>Past Indefinite Tense</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, it means actions that have already happened or are </span>done. In Urdu, this works the same way as in English. For example, when we say "He played soccer yesterday" in English, it means the action happened at a specific time in the past. In Urdu, you would say "کل اس نے فٹ بال کھیلا". Both use time markers like yesterday to show the event happened before.
<h2><b>Why are Tenses Important?</b></h2>
<b>Tenses</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> help us talk about actions in different times. The </span>Present tense is used for things happening now, like "I am playing soccer." The Future tense is used for things that will happen, like "I will play soccer tomorrow." Using the correct tense helps us speak clearly and avoid confusion.
<h2><b>Mastering Tenses for Better Language Skills</b></h2>
Learning tenses<span style="font-weight: 400;">, especially the </span><b>Past Indefinite Tense</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, is really important. It helps you explain things clearly, whether you're a student or a professional. When you understand how to use tenses, it makes you more </span>confident and fluent in your language.

Now, we will practically explain everything in both Urdu and English, including definitions, examples, formulas, practice, and more.
