کے آگے / کے پیچھے

In Front of and Behind

Level 2

Identify what serves as the reference point.

How It Works

The linker stays کے with these expressions even when the reference noun is feminine: گاڑی کے پیچھے. It is part of the compound postposition.

Pronouns use possessive-shaped phrases such as میرے آگے or آپ کے پیچھے. Do not insert an additional کے after میرے.

Viewpoint matters. آگے can describe a position farther along a route or a position in front of something; use the scene to identify the intended direction.

    Feminine گاڑی is followed by کے پیچھے.

  2. دکان کے آگے رکیے۔

    Stop in front of the shop.

    The shop supplies the reference point.

  3. میرے آگے ایک بچہ کھڑا ہے۔

    A child is standing in front of me.

    The pronoun phrase is میرے آگے.

  4. گھر کے پیچھے باغ ہے۔

    There is a garden behind the house.
