Questions & Answers about काम शुरू होने से पहले हमने हिंदी में सवाल लिखे, और काम खत्म होने के बाद हमने जवाब पढ़े।
Why is it हमने instead of just हम?
Because ने is the marker Hindi usually uses with a completed transitive action in standard Hindi. Here, both लिखे (wrote) and पढ़े (read) are completed actions, so the subject appears as हमने.
Compare:
- हम सवाल लिखते हैं = We write questions
- हमने सवाल लिखे = We wrote questions
So हमने is not a different pronoun; it is हम + ने.
Why are the verbs लिखे and पढ़े, not लिखा and पढ़ा?
Because when ने is used, the verb often agrees with the direct object, not with the subject.
Here:
- सवाल = questions
- जवाब = answers
Both are masculine plural direct objects with no extra postposition, so the verbs become लिखे and पढ़े.
A useful pattern:
- हमने सवाल लिखा = We wrote one question
- हमने सवाल लिखे = We wrote questions
If the object had a postposition such as को, the verb would usually not agree with it and would often default to masculine singular.
