Perfective Verb + جاتا / جاتی / جاتے + ہونا

A Habitual Passive

Level 4

Keep the first verb perfective; put the habit on جانا.

How It Works

The participle’s perfective shape is part of the passive construction. It does not make the whole sentence a completed past event.

The unmarked subject controls the illustrated agreement. Masculine plural خط gives بھیجے جاتے ہیں; feminine plural کتابیں gives پڑھی جاتی ہیں. The final copula supplies number where the feminine participles have the same form.

Use the passive when the practice or affected thing matters more than naming who does it. An active sentence is often simpler when you want to identify the doer.

Examples (4)

  1. یہ کتاب ہر سال پڑھی جاتی ہے۔

    This book is read every year.

    The feminine singular subject controls the passive phrase.

  2. یہاں خط روز بھیجے جاتے ہیں۔

    Letters are sent here every day.

    The masculine plural subject takes بھیجے جاتے ہیں.

  3. یہ کتابیں اسکول میں پڑھی جاتی ہیں۔

    These books are read at school.

    Feminine plural agreement appears in the copula ہیں.

  4. دکان کا دروازہ صبح کھولا جاتا ہے۔

    The shop door is opened in the morning.

    The passive presents a regular practice without naming the opener.

Common Mistakes

  • Making the first verb habitual instead of perfective.

    یہ کتاب پڑھتی جاتی ہے۔
    یہ کتاب پڑھی جاتی ہے۔

    The passive uses پڑھی; پڑھتی جاتی describes a different verbal construction.
