About Urdu Grammar MCQs

Questions cover the three kinds of kalima (کلمہ): ism (اسم, noun), fail (فعل, verb) and harf (حرف, particle), along with their types, such as ism-e-zarf for place and time, collective nouns like qafila, pronouns of reference (ضمیر اشارہ) and conjunctions such as aur and kyunke. Other questions test the masdar (مصدر, infinitive), degrees of adjectives, tenses, and the difference between jumla ismiya and jumla fe'liya.

The topic also includes the alphabet and its vowel letters (حروف علت), noon ghunna (ں), punctuation marks, kunyat names such as Abul Hasan, and basic rhetoric (علم بیان) and prosody: simile (تشبیہ), metaphor (استعارہ), exaggeration (مبالغہ), and verse forms such as ghazal, masnavi and blank verse. Questions often quote a short sentence or phrase and ask you to name the part of speech, tense or device it shows, so practise applying each definition to real examples rather than memorising the definitions alone.

Key facts to remember

  • Urdu grammar divides words (کلمہ) into three kinds: ism (noun), fail (verb) and harf (particle).
  • The sign of the Urdu masdar (infinitive) is the ending -na (نا), as in likhna (لکھنا) and parhna (پڑھنا).
  • Alif, wao and choti ye (ا، و، ی) are treated as the vowel letters (حروف علت) of Urdu.
  • A simile (تشبیہ) compares two things openly, while a metaphor (استعارہ) treats one thing as the other without a word of comparison.
  • Urdu sentences end with the full stop mark called khatma (۔).

How to prepare for Urdu Grammar MCQs

  1. Start with the three kinds of kalima and their sub-types, because most grammar questions ask you to classify a word in a sentence.
  2. Learn one clear example for each term, such as qafila for a collective noun or behtareen for the superlative degree.
  3. Practise identifying the verb and its tense in short sentences, since examiners often quote a sentence and ask about one word.
  4. Revise rhetoric terms such as tashbeeh, isti'ara and mubalgha as pairs of definition and example.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three kinds of kalima in Urdu grammar?

Urdu grammar divides kalima (meaningful words) into ism, fail and harf. An ism names a person, place, thing or idea; a fail shows an action or state in a particular time; and a harf, such as aur or kyunke, has no full meaning on its own and links or relates other words.

Which exams ask Urdu grammar MCQs?

Urdu grammar MCQs are common in PPSC, FPSC, SPSC, KPPSC and NTS tests, and especially in educator, Urdu lecturer and subject specialist recruitment tests, where questions on parts of speech, tenses and figures of speech appear regularly.

What is the difference between tashbeeh and isti'ara?

Tashbeeh (simile) compares one thing with another on the basis of a shared quality and keeps both in view, often with a word of comparison. Isti'ara (metaphor) goes further and uses the second thing in place of the first, without stating the comparison.
