Will it be different when I want to say, "my daughter went to school" if so how
मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई (I think मेरी बेटी स्कूल गाई थी is also okay, but a mother tongue speaker would have to confirm).

मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई = My daughter went to school
मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई थी = My daughter had gone to school
Thanks! One more question: what's the difference between मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई थी and मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई है?

a) गई - simple past
b) जा रही थी- past continuous
c) गई थी - past perfect
d) जाती रही थी - past perfect continuous
e) जाती है - simple present
f) जा रही है - present continuous
g) गयी है - present perfect
h) जाती रही है - present perfect continuous
i) जायेगी - simple future

मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई थी = My daughter 'had' gone to school
मेरी बेटी स्कूल गई है = My daughter 'has' gone to school
Why Mera beti school jaathi hai is incorrect? Jaathi/Jaatha is based on Beta/Beti or Mera/Meri ??

Mera/Meri should itself be chosen based on the gender of the following word and not the gender of the speaker. So, it would 'Mera beta' and 'Meri beti' irrespective of whether a man or woman is saying those words.
