Model dialogues<\/h2>\r\nThese model dialogues are designed to build confidence with the simple past tense in everyday Nepali conversation. Learners practise asking and answering past-time questions (what someone did, where they went, and when), using both affirmative and negative past forms, and then reporting the same information about a third person using respectful patterns. The situations are familiar and easy to adapt, so students can reuse the same past-tense structures with new verbs, times, and contexts.\r\n
