"Peter used to sing."

Translation: पीटर गाता था ।

[nitinsharma14]

It can be that peter pehle gata tha

[aslam304131]

Cant it be Peter sang

[Sarah_130408]

No it cant be peter sang because in hindi it means " पीटर ने गाया | " and this indicates that he has already sung . he used to sing is different from he sang.

[RaajkumarMS]

If not, what is the hindi sentence for this?

[ShivamKash967828]

This question confused me.

[shalini767469]

Yes i agree

[paul376479]

No need for pehle.. it would be superfluous as the Hindi form of this sort 'Peter gata tha' already means 'used to'. E.g. I used to swim would be 'Mei terta tha' and so on.

[rani727266]

पीटर गाता था is correct

[Roger423959]

So how to say "Peter sang"?

[Roger423959]

I see above पीटर ने गाया , thanks.

Peter gata tha...
As in
Peter used to sing... in the past, but doesn't any more

Peter ne gaya tha...
As in
Peter Sang... 2 mins ago
Or ... In the party last night
Or ... Last year at his wedding
