Questions & Answers about बहन दुकान से दवा ले रही है।

What is the basic word-for-word structure of बहन दुकान से दवा ले रही है?

A natural breakdown is:

• बहन = sister
• दुकान से = from the shop
• दवा = medicine
• ले रही है = is taking / getting

So the sentence follows a common Hindi pattern:

• Subject + source/location phrase + object + verb

Hindi usually puts the main verb at the end.

Why is से used after दुकान?

से is a very common postposition in Hindi. Here it means from.

So:

• दुकान = shop
• दुकान से = from the shop

This shows the source of the medicine. The idea is that the sister is obtaining the medicine from the shop.

This is different from:

• दुकान में = in the shop
• दुकान पर = at the shop

So से is used because the shop is the place she is getting the medicine from, not just where she is standing.

Why does Hindi say दुकान से instead of putting from before shop like English does?
