Whose words: ke baqol, kehte hain ke, maloom hai ke
Three frames hand a thought to another speaker. Daaktar ke baqol — according to the doctor: the source, then ke baqol, then the thought. Log kehte hain ke — people say that: the crowd as the source, with ke holding the door. For example: “ڈاکٹر کے بقول ورزش ضروری ہے” — According to the doctor, exercise is necessary. A rule from the Urdu course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Three frames hand a thought to another speaker. Daaktar ke baqol — according to the doctor: the source, then ke baqol, then the thought. Log kehte hain ke — people say that: the crowd as the source, with ke holding the door.
Sab ko maloom hai ke — everyone knows that: the widest frame of the three, and the thought that follows is not questioned.
Inside the frame the tense stands still — you know that from the reported-speech note. What changes is only the frame’s head; the thought rides unchanged.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
