(b)of these, (1) alone dontes an action in progress or in process not yet complited. of the other three forms, (2) denotes a habit (not an action in progress), while (3) and (4) denote continuity of a state. Only (1), therefore, can form the progressive aspect.
(c) It is to be noted that, while (2), (3) and (4) can be used in all Tenses and Moods (¸ððÃðð Üè÷±ðð, µðâðÃðð Üèð, ×ðø¿÷ Üè÷, ÑðèÐð÷ Üèð èð÷Ãðð etc.) in the progressive sense, the Subsidiary ÜèÐðð is always in the past participle form (with the usual fem. and pl. modifications). Besides, it can be used only in the present and the habitual past (¸ðð Üèð èø - ¸ðð Üèð Æðð) or in the Subjective forms ¡ðÃðð èð÷, ¡ðÃðð èð÷Ãðð, ¡ðÃðð èð÷±ðð, ¡ð Üèð èð÷, ¡ð Üèð èð÷Ãðð, ¡ð Üèð èð÷±ðð.
(d) In fact, ¡ð Üèð is to be regarded as a past participle form of the compound ¡ð + ÜèÐðð, and as equivalent to ¡ðÃðð èô¡ð. This is clear from the fact that a present participle when used as an Adjective denotes the progressive aspect with the help of forms like ¡ðÃðð èô¡ð, ¸ððÃðð èô¡ð etc. (241).
It may also be noted that the rare progressive of the simple past (when used as future conditional) is ¡ðÃðð èô¡ð. (322).
(e) It is evident from the above that Hindi Verbs have a regular progressive form only in those Tenses and Moods which are made with the help of a present participle. These are :-
ãðè ¸ððÃðð èø (¸ðð Üèð èø) Present Indicative,
ãðè ¸ððÃðð Æðð (¸ðð Üèð Æðð) Habitual Past-Indicative,
ãðè ¸ððÃðð èð÷ (¸ðð Üèð èð÷) Present Potential,
ãðè ¸ððÃðð èð÷Ãðð (¸ðð Üèð èð÷Ãðð) Present Contingent,
ãðè ¸ððÃðð èð÷±ðð (¸ðð Üèð èð÷±ðð) Present Presumptive.
The Üèð forms in these Tenses are, of course, of the nature of a compound Verb. But having a special form and being so frequently used, they are on par with the common forms (¸ððÃðð èø etc.).
(k) òÐð¨îâðÐðð `to emerge, to come out` denotes `to happen to....`, to start to.....`:
±ððÀÿó µðâð òÐð¨îâðó `the carriage started moving`,
Ùð÷Üð òÙðëð ýÏðÜ ¡ð òÐð¨îâðð `my friend happened to come this side`.
(l) çð¨îÐðð, which is not used independently, denotes `to be able to......`
This is one of the most frequently used subsidiaries (intransitive):
Ùðøü ±ðð çð¨îÃðð èõû `I can sing`,
©Úðð ãðè ¡ð çð¨÷î±ðð `will he be able to come?`.
(m) µðô¨îÐðð `to be finished or exhausted` (passive) denotes `completion`.
As a Subsidiary, it is Active and Intransitive:
ãðè ¸ð×ð ÑðÁÿ µðô¨îð, Ãð×𠣿ð `he got up only after he had finished reading`,
¨îâð Ãð¨î Ùðøü Úðè ¨îðÙð ¨îÜ µðô¨õûî±ðð `I shall have finished this work by to-morrow`.
(n) ÙðÜÐðð `to die`, is, as a Subsidiary, combined with such main
Verbs as ¸ðâð - `burn`, Àõ×ð - `be drowned`;
ãðè ¸ðâð ÙðÜð `he was burnt (or burnt himself) to death`,
ãðè Àõ×ð ÙðÜð `he drowned himself`.
¡ð ÙðÜÐðð and ¸ðð ÙðÜÐðð denote unwanted or undersirable coming and going.
(o) ÙððÜÐðð `to beat or kill` as a Subsidiary denotes `thoughtlessness` or `carelessness`:
ÃðôÙðÐð÷ Úðè ©Úðð òâð®ð ÙððÜð ? `what non-sense have you written?` (p) ÑððÐðð `to find, to obtain` is synonymous with çð¨îÐðð `The subject, however, does not attach ¨îð÷ (or-¦):
ãðè äððÙð Ãð¨î Ððèóü ¡ð Ñðð¦±ðð `he will not be able to come bythis evening`,
Ùðøü ¡ÑðÐðð ¨îðÙð Ððèóü ¨îÜ ÑððÚðð `I could not do my work`.
(q) µðâðÐðð `to move` as a Subsidiary denotes `beginning`;
ÜðÃð÷ü âðü×ðó èð÷ µðâðóü `nights began growing longer`,
ãðè ×ðôÀþÁð èð÷ µðâðð `he is growing old`.
(r) Ü®ðÐðð `to keep, to place, as a Subsidiary debites `priority or
precedence (in time)»:
ÙðøüÐð÷ Ñðëð òâð®ð Ü®ðð èø `I have kept the letter ready (written)»:
ÙðøüÐð÷ Ðððø¨îÜ çð÷ ¨îè Ü®ðð èø `I have given standing instructions to the servant`.
Main Verb: Infinitive
257. This group can be divided into two sub-groups-
where the main Verb has an unodified infinitive form and where the main Verb has the oblique form (i.e. - Ðð÷ instead of - Ððð of the Infinitive).
258. The more important subsidiaries combined with a main Verb
in unmodified Infinitive form are as follows:-
µððèÐðð `to want` retains its meaning. See :-The abstract idea represented by an Infinitive being ``inanimate``, It is not usual to attach ¨îð÷ when the Infinitive is used as an object. It does, however, attach ¨îð÷ for signifying ``for the purpose of`` or ``with a view to``. THe ¨îð÷ is occasionally replaced by ¨÷î òâðÚð÷ (see : - a.The following are used with ¨÷î (or - Ü÷) :-

Note (i) Infinitives are frequently used in combination with the root µððè `want`:
| Ùðøü ¸ððÐðð µððèÃðð èõü | `I want to go`, |
| ãðè µððÚð ÑðóÐðð µððèÃðð èø | `he wants to take tea`. |
¡ðÐðð, ÑðóÐðð etc. in such sentences may be regarded as the objects of µððè

âðÀÿ¨îð ±ð÷üÇ çð÷ ®ð÷âðÐðð µððèÃðð èø `the boy wants to play with a ball`.
Ççð ×ð¸ðÐðð µððèÃð÷ èøü [also ×ð¸ðð µððèÃð÷ èøü (See :- The main Varb as past participle is affected by the Number and Gender of the subject, or of the object.
The important subsidiaries are as follows :-
¡ðÐðð retains its meaning (`to come`), while denoting `imminence` or `immediacy`:
äðëðô µðÁÿð ¡ðÃðð èø `the enemy is advancing (on us)»,
×ððÇâð ò³ðÜ÷ ¡ðÃð÷ èø `clouds are fast gathering`.
µðâðð ¡ðÐðð means `to come away` or `to come this way`.
¸ððÐðð combined with an Intransitive main Verb denotes
`going to...` `about to.....`
Ùðøü ÇÇá çð÷ ÙðÜð ¸ðð Üèð èõûü `I am about to die of pain`,
±ððÀÿó ¡Øðó ¡ðýá ¸ððÃðó èø `the train is about to come`.
µðâðð ¸ððÐðð means `to go away`.
This use of ¸ððÐðð with a past participle is not to be confused with the passive forms, (272).
ÑðÀÿÐðð `to fall down` is usually combined with Verbs having a
similar meaning, viz. `to fall down` and denotes `about to ....`, `going to...`:
âðÀÿ¨îó ò±ðÜó ÑðÀÿÃðó èø `the girl is about to fall down`,
Ùðøü ÐðÇó Ùð÷ü ¨õîÇð ÑðÀÿÃðð èõû `I am going to jump into the river`,
¨îÜÐðð denotes `frequency` or habitual action`:
