Recall drills — 126 more questions from the A2 words

These 126 drills are generated from the Urdu A2 vocabulary list — the words of “Health and Work” through “Home and Community”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

The A2 test — 10 items

Urdu A2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Urdu A2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

Urdu distinguishes familiar and respectful address. آپ is widely used for polite address and normally takes honorific agreement; تم is more familiar, but the choice depends on relationship, setting and local practice. A learner should not copy one address form into every conversation.

Source (named, not linked): britannica.com.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: Yesterday Ayesha called the clinic. She asked the doctor for an appointment and described her symptoms. Reception gave her a Thursday appointment. Ayesha wrote down the time and asked whether she should bring the report.

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged ur-PK; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Ayesha: Can I see the doctor on Thursday? Reception: Yes, there is an opening at ten. Ayesha: Thank you, I will bring the report too. Reception: Please give us your name.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• میں ڈاکٹر کو وقت پوچھا۔ → میں نے ڈاکٹر سے وقت پوچھا۔ Use سے for asking a person; past transitive Urdu commonly marks the subject with نے.
• وہ کل آتا ہے۔ → وہ کل آئے گا/گی۔ A future-time plan needs a future form, with agreement to the speaker described.
• مجھے دوا پینا ہے۔ → مجھے دوا لینی ہے۔ Urdu uses the natural collocation دوا لینا for taking medicine.

Your task

Urdu A2 reflection and production task Write a short response using two expressions from this level. State the audience, keep the address form consistent, and mark which claim is observed, reported or inferred. Read it aloud once and revise any phrase that overstates the evidence.

After A2: the A2+ checkpoint

A2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Urdu A2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at A2+ when you can keep a conversation going, tell a short story. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B1 pages.

Keep going
