In many other sentences in this series, the hai / haim can be dropped: raj के पिता ने सेव खाये. Why not here?

What is 'nē' and why it is used in this sentence ?

[Ashmath.]

[I married into a family of native Hindi speakers, but this is still an amateur explanation. ]

It's used in this past tense, it marks a case on the subject, but only used in this kind of past perfect tense, or whatever past tense this is

[Farnoosh.Frh]

How to know in which sentences hain is needed and in which it's not needed?

[Thorsten781499]

What is the rule if it needs a है or a हैं ?

[Meghan1991]

है is singular, हैं is plural. Since the verb here agrees with सेब (which is pural), we use हैं. If the sentence was "Raj's father has eaten the apple", we'd use है.

[MunmunPal]

No it's not about singular or plural, the first one is more informal you may use it for someone younger than you or your friends.. the second one is used when you are speaking about someone who is elder than you or you are being respectful to that person

[Jay-Verma]

राज के पिता सेब खा चुके है। seems more correct to me.

राज के पिता ने सेब खाये is also correct

[aaditsingh8]

• राज के पिता ने सेब खाये हैं = Raj’s father has eaten the apples (past perfect) -> required answer

[Theraja]

Typo in the answer? Nope...
