8.7 کر Construction

Instructor Video: کر Construction

In Urdu, کر is used to combine two or more actions which happen subsequently and the subject is the same in all these sentences. When we combine two or more verbs by using کر , the aspect markers on the verbs is replaced by کر and only the last verb keeps its aspect and agreement markers. When multiple sentences are combined by using the  strong>کر construction, the subject should be used just once.

For example:

کر with کرنا Conjunct Verb

When کر comes with the  کرنا ‘to do’ verb, it changes to  کے.

For example:

کر in Perfective Aspect

In perfective sentences, the use of نے- with a subject depends on the last verb which comes with its perfective aspect and agreement markers.

For example:
