The use of ne as a preposition - Give examples of (I did, you did, he/she did, they and we)

Use of “ke” vs “ka” (postposition)
Urdu uses postpositions that follow the noun (rather than prepositions of English that precede the word)
“ka” (کا), “ke” (کے), and “ki” (کی) are used to show possession or relation between two nouns.
Ki and Ka are use when we talk about a thing that is related to a person.
If the thing is masculine then we use ka and if the thing is feminine then used Ki.
Example:
- Ye yusuf ki gari (Car = feminine) hai
- Ye yusuf ka laptop (laptop = masculine) hai
In formal speech, it is common to use “ke” when addressing or referring to elders, people in higher positions, or those you want to show respect.
For example:
“aap ke ghar” (آپ کے گھر) means “your house” (formal or respectful)
