Questions & Answers about मैं कभी-कभी बस से ऑफिस जाती हूँ।

Why is it जाती हूँ and not जाता हूँ?

Because the speaker is female.

In the present habitual, Hindi verbs agree with the subject’s gender and number.

• मैं ... जाता हूँ = a male speaker says I go
• मैं ... जाती हूँ = a female speaker says I go

So this sentence is spoken by a woman or girl. If a man were speaking, it would be:

मैं कभी-कभी बस से ऑफिस जाता हूँ।

What does कभी-कभी mean, and why is it repeated?

कभी-कभी means sometimes.

Hindi often uses reduplication like this to show repeated, occasional, or less regular frequency. The repeated form sounds natural and idiomatic.

Compare:

• कभी = ever / sometime / sometimes in some contexts
• कभी-कभी = sometimes

So the repetition is not random; it is the normal way to say sometimes here.

Why is से used after बस?

से here marks the means or mode of transport, so बस से means by bus.

This is very common in Hindi:

• कार से = by car
• ट्रेन से = by train
