Questions & Answers about अगर ट्रेन देर से आएगी, तो हम स्टेशन पर इंतज़ार करेंगे।
Why is अगर ... तो used here?
अगर ... तो is the standard if ... then pattern in Hindi.
- अगर = if
- तो = then
So:
- अगर ट्रेन देर से आएगी = if the train arrives late
- तो हम स्टेशन पर इंतज़ार करेंगे = then we will wait at the station
A very important note: तो is often optional in everyday Hindi.
So this sentence could also be:
अगर ट्रेन देर से आएगी, हम स्टेशन पर इंतज़ार करेंगे।
That still sounds natural.
Why is it आएगी and not some other form of आना?
आएगी is the future tense form of आना (to come / to arrive) that agrees with a feminine singular subject.
Here, the subject is ट्रेन, and ट्रेन is treated as feminine in Hindi.
So:
- ट्रेन आएगी = the train will come
- बस आएगी = the bus will come
- लड़का आएगा = the boy will come
The ending tells you about agreement:
- -एगा / -गा → masculine singular
- -एगी / -गी → feminine singular
- -एंगे / -ेंगे → plural / respectful / we
