جیسے ہی

As Soon as a Clause Becomes True

Level 5

This happens → the next event follows promptly.

How It Works

جیسے ہی identifies the moment an event happens or a condition becomes true. The main clause follows closely from that point.

A completed past form suits a narrated sequence. Future plans or instructions use the forms appropriate to those clauses; Urdu need not copy English tense choices word for word.

Unlike a short participle phrase, this construction can state a separate subject in each clause. ہی adds the emphasis on the boundary.
