اور
Joining with and
Read the parts on both sides of اور as one list or connected idea.
How It Works
Use ندا اور سارا یہاں ہیں for Nida and Sara are here. The subject names two people, so use ہیں.
اور can join objects: میں چائے اور پانی پیتی ہوں. Here the speaker drinks both tea and water.
It can also join complete statements: ندا پڑھ رہی ہے اور سارا لکھ رہی ہے. Each person has her own action and verb form.
