Simple Present Tense + Simple Past Tense in Kitchen Chores

In daily life, we often describe general truths, habits, or routines along with past events.
दैनंदिन जीवनात आपण सार्वत्रिक सत्ये, सवयी किंवा दिनचर्या तसेच भूतकाळातील घटना यांचे वर्णन करतो.
In the kitchen, we perform various chores regularly, such as cooking, cleaning, chopping vegetables, and storing food.
स्वयंपाकघरात आपण नियमितपणे वेगवेगळी कामे करतो, जसे की स्वयंपाक करणे, स्वच्छता करणे, भाज्या चिरणे आणि अन्न साठवणे.
These tasks become a part of our daily routine. However, sometimes unexpected incidents occur, like spilling milk, burning food, or breaking a plate.
ही कामे आपल्या दैनंदिन दिनचर्येचा एक भाग असतात. पण कधीकधी, दूध उतू जाणे, अन्न करपणे किंवा प्लेट फुटणे यासारख्या अनपेक्षित घटना घडतात.
By using Simple Present Tense and Simple Past Tense together, we can clearly express such situations.
साधा वर्तमानकाळ आणि साधा भूतकाळ एकत्र वापरल्याने अशा परिस्थितींचे योग्य वर्णन करता येते.
