Questions & Answers about सुबह मैं हिंदी लिख रही हूँ।

Why is सुबह at the beginning of the sentence?

सुबह is a time word meaning in the morning / morning. In Hindi, time expressions often come near the beginning of the sentence, but the word order is fairly flexible.

So these can all be natural, depending on emphasis:

• सुबह मैं हिंदी लिख रही हूँ।
• मैं सुबह हिंदी लिख रही हूँ।

Putting सुबह first gives a natural time-topic feeling: As for the morning / In the morning, I am writing Hindi.

Why is it मैं, not मैंने?

Because this sentence is in the present progressive: am writing.

In Hindi, with present progressive forms like:

• मैं लिख रहा/रही हूँ = I am writing

the subject stays in the direct form:

• मैं

You use मैंने mainly with many perfective past transitive verbs, for example:

• मैंने पत्र लिखा। = I wrote a letter.

So here, मैं is correct because the sentence is not a perfective past sentence.
