Though not very long,
Fly, ladybird, fly! Yet I think it as pretty as any,
North, south, east or west; Put your hand in your purse,
Fly to the pretty girl You'll never be worse,
That I love best. And give the poor singer a penny.

Till her fingers were sore, Head


This pious old woman of Leeds.
It's raining, it's pouring,
Specks on the fingers, The old man is snoring;
Fortune lingers; He got into bed
Specks on the thumbs, And bumped his head
Fortune comes. And couldn't get up in the morning.

One, two, three, See, see! what shall I see?


Four and five, A horse's head where his tail should
I caught a hare alive; be.
Six, seven, eight,
Nine and ten, Jack and Jill
I let him go again. Went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water;
Why did you let it go? Jack fell down
Because it bit my finger so. And broke his crown,
Which finger did it bite? And Jill came tumbling after.
The little finger on the right.
There was a little girl, and she had a
Little Jack Horner little curl
Sat in a Corner, Right in the middle of her forehead;
Eating of Christmas pie; When she was good, she was very,
He put in his thumb, very good,
And pulled out a plum, But when she was bad she was
And said what a good boy was I. horrid.

Feet There was a man so wise,


April brings the primrose sweet, He jumped into a bramble bush,
Scatters daisies at our feet. And scratched out both his eyes.
Four white feet, sell him right away; And when he saw his eyes were out,
Three white feet, keep him not a And reason to complain,
day; He jumped into a quickset hedge,
Two white feet, sell him to a friend; And scratched them in again.
One white foot, keep him to the end.
Miscellaneous Body Parts
See, saw, sacaradown,
Which is the way to Boston Town? A mole on your arm,
One foot up the other foot down, Will do you no harm.
That is the way to Boston Town. A mole on your lip,
You're a little too flip.
Said Noble Aaron to Aaron Barron, A mole on the neck,
Oh, dear, my foot you put your chair Money by the peck.
on! A mole on the back,
Said Aaron Barron to Noble Aaron, Money by the sack.
O! you shall put your foot my chair A mole on the ear,
on! Money by the year.

Moses supposes his toeses are roses,


But Moses supposes erroneously; When I was a little boy,
For nobody's toeses are posies of I washed my Mother's dishes.

As Moses supposes his toeses to be. And pulled out little fishes.

My mother called me Good boy,


And bid me pull out more,

I put my finger in my ear, What's amazing to tell!


And pulled out fourscore. I have heard that their smell
Chiefly lay in a thing called their
nose!
Hold up your head, And though strange are such tales,
Turn out your toes, On their fingers they'd nails,
Speak when you're spoken to, As well as on each of their toes!
Mend your clothes.
Darby and Joan were dressed in
In a cottage in Fife black,
Lived a man and his wife, Sword and buckle behind their back;
Who, believe me, were comical folk; Foot for foot, and knee for knee,
For, to people's surprise, Turn about Darby's company.
They both saw with their eyes,
And their tongues moved whenever January brings the snow,
they spoke! Makes our feet and fingers glow.
When quite fast asleep,
I've been told that to keep Little Nancy Etticoat
Their eyes open they could not With a white petticoat,
contrive; And a red nose;
They walked on their feet, She has no feet or hands,
And 'twas thought what they eat The longer she stands
Helped, with drinking, to keep them The shorter she grows.

Silent Words
There are a lot of silent letters in English. This is because although the
pronunciation of some words has changed over the last two or three hundred
years the spelling has stayed the same.
There aren't many hard and fast rules, it's more a matter of learning which
letters are silent in certain combinations of letters. Here are some of the most
common silent letters.
In the following examples, all silent letters are given in brackets.

Silent 'b'
The 'b' is silent in the combination 'mb' at the end of a word.
For example: bom(b), clim(b), com(b), crum(b), lam(b), lim(b), plum(b)er,
num(b), thum(b)
The 'b' is silent in the combination 'bt'.
For example: de(b)t, dou(b)t, su(b)tle
But not in some words, e.g. obtain, unobtrusive
The plum(b)er's thum(b) got cau(gh)t in his com(b) as he clim(b)ed the
ladder.

A 2 Z of Language compiled by Amara Brahma Cumar

Silent 'd'
The 'd' is silent in the combination 'dg'.
For example: ba(d)ge, e(d)ge, han(d)kerchief, he(d)ge, han(d)some, ple(d)ge,
san(d)wich we(d)ge We(d)nesday
I have san(d)wiches every We(d)nesday and ir(o)n my wais(t)coats in the
ev(e)ning.

Silent e
For Example: ev(e)ry, ev(e)ning, diff(e)rent, sev(e)ral, int(e)resting, veg(e)table,
lit(e)rature, temp(e)rature, p(e)rhaps
He described sev(e)ral diff(e)rent veg(e)tables on his plate.
I didn't find that very int(e)resting, It certainly wasn't lit(e)rature.
P(e)rhaps his body temp(e)rature was too hi(gh).

Silent g
For Example: si(g)n, forei(g)n, champa(g)ne
There was no si(g)n of the French champa(g)ne.

Silent gh
The gh becomes silent when it is followed by t
hi(gh), ri(gh)t, ni(gh)t, mi(gh)t, si(gh)t brou(gh)t, thou(gh)t, cau(gh)t, ou(gh)t,
dau(gh)ter wei(gh), nei(gh)bour, strai(gh)t
The hi(gh) and mi(gh)ty were not in si(gh)t that night.
I cau(gh)t some sa(l)mon and brou(gh)t them strai(gh)t to my dau(gh)ter.
My nei(gh)bour asked me how much I wei(gh)ed.

Silent h
Generally the h is silent when there is a vowel next to it.
For Example: (h)onest, (h)our, (h)onour, (h)eir
"I'll be back in an (h)our," said the (h)eiress. But it was not an (h)onest or
an (h)onourable ans(w)er.
The 'h' is silent at the end of word when it follows a vowel.
For example: cheeta(h) Sara(h) messia(h) savana(h)
The 'h' is silent between two vowels.
For example: anni(h)ilate ve(h)ement ve(h)icle
The 'h' is silent after the letter 'r'.
For example: r(h)yme r(h)ubarb r(h)ythm
The 'h' is silent after the letters 'ex'
For example: ex(h)austing, ex(h)ibition, ex(h)ort

But not in some words, e.g. exhale, exhume

Silent 'k'
The 'k' is silent in the combination 'kn'.
For example: (k)nack (k)nee (k)new (k)nickers (k)nife (k)night (k)nitting
(k)nob (k)nock (k)not (k)now (k)nuckle
Did you know she has a (k)nife in her (k)nickers which could damage your
(k)nuckles or your (k)nees?

Silent l
For Example: sa(l)mon, ca(l)m, wou(l)d, cou(l)d, shou(l)d, wa(l)k, ta(l)k, ha(l)f
He cou(l)d wa(l)k for ha(l)f a mile and ta(l)k ca(l)mly about sa(l)monella
poisoning for an (h)our and a half.

Silent 'n'
The 'n' is silent in the combination 'mn' at the end of a word.

solem(n)
He (w)rote a dam(n)ing report about the gover(n)ment's handling of the
sa(l)monella crisis.

Silent 'p'
The 'p' is silent in the combination 'ps' at the beginning of a word.

(p)sychology (p)sychotherapy
The (p)sychiatrist recommended (p)sychotherapy.
cu(p)board

Fas(t)en you sea(t) belts.
whis(t)le, cas(t)le, Chris(t)mas
How of(t)en do I have to say that? I can see you're not lis(t)ening when
you're whis(t)ling.

Silent w
ans(w)er, (w)rite, (w)rong, (w)ring, (w)rinkle, (w)rist, (w)retched, (w)restler
I feel (w)retched," said the (w)restler.
"My (w)rist is all (w)rinkled. I can't (w)rite and who wou(l)d want to
wrest(l)e with me now?"

PUNCTUATIONS

Sentences start with a Capital, So as to make our sentences better.


We use a full stop to mark the end. It closes every sentence penned.
The comma is for short pauses and breaks, And also for lists the writer makes.

Dashes like these are for thoughts by the way.


They give extra information (so do brackets, we may say).

These two dots are a colon: colons pause to compare.


They also do this: list, explain and prepare.

The semicolon makes a break; its followed by a clause.


It does the work of words that link; its also a short pause.

An apostrophe shows the owner of anyones thing,


and its also useful for shortenings.

Im so glad! Hes so mad! Were having such a lark!


To show strong feelings use an exclamation mark!

A question mark follows who? Whom? Whose?


Which? What? When? Where? Why and How
Do you? Can I? Shall we? Give us your answer now!

Use PARENTHESES

3. To enclose a direct quotation: a person's exact words


Example He said, You have won the lottery.

NOTE: Do not use quotation marks to enclose indirect quotations.

Incorrect He said that I had won the lottery.


Correct He said that I had won the lottery.

NOTES FOR DIRECT QUOTATIONS:

1. Start the quotation with a capital letter.


2. Place commas and periods INSIDE the quotation marks.
3. Place semicolons and colons OUTSIDE the quotation marks.
4. Place question marks and exclamation marks INSIDE the quotation marks if

If the quotation within another quotation is a question or an exclamation, place


appropriate punctuation next to the item concerned.

He said, "You asked, 'Do you love me?'"
Statement quotation inside question quotation
He asked, "Did you say, 'I love you'?"
Question quotation inside question quotation

He asked, "Did you exclaim, 'I love you!'?"
He exclaimed, "I hated your asking, 'Do you love me?'!"

AFFIX
An affix is a bound morpheme1 that is joined before, after, or within a root2 or
stem3.
1
A bound morpheme is a grammatical unit that never occurs by itself, but is
always attached to some other morpheme. Example the s in dogs.
2
carries the principle portion of meaning of the words in which it functions
3
A stem is the root or roots of a word, together with any derivational affixes, to
which inflectional affixes are added.

We have basically nine types of affixes


1. Circumfix made up of two separate parts which surround and attach to a
root.
2. Derivational one word is formed (derived) from another. Joyfulness
3. Infix inserted within a stem. bloomin

A 2 Z of Language compiled by Amara Brahma Cumar

4. Inflectional expresses a grammatical contrast that is obligatory for its stem's


(grammatical category), does not change the word class of its stem, produces
a predictable, nonidiosyncratic change of meaning.
a. Aspect
b. Case
c. Modality
d. Number
e. Person
f. Tense
g. Voice
5. Prefix joined before a root or stem. Unselfish
6. Separable can be detached from its stem and located elsewhere in a
construction.
7. Simulfix a change or replacement of vowels or consonants (usually
vowels) which changes the meaning of a word. Eat ---Ate
8. Suffix attached to the end of a stem or root. Walked
9. Suprafix a suprasegmental is superimposed on one or more syllables of
the root or stem, signalling a particular morphosyntactic operation (A
morphosyntactic operation is an ordered, dynamic relation between one
linguistic form and another) . `Produce, n. Produce, v

Why Grammar? Mother Tongue: Spoken & then Grammar,


Verbal & no Grammar or
Grammar followed by spoken / verbal

All of us speak good language (mother tongue).


How could we achieve this? Did we all learn grammar???
NO! we have learnt through practice. Practice makes a person perfect.
Then why should we learn Grammar?
Good question my friend, but how many years did we take to the language this
way. 6 years, 4 years OK 2 years. Do we have two full years to learn the
language at this age and pace of time???
Yes! Thats true, in this pressing time grammar helps us to learn the language
faster.
Well what is grammar?
The art of making a meaningful sentence with a proper syntax.
What is a sentence?
A group of words in a systematic manner conveying a meaning is a sentence.
What is a syntax?
The structure in which the words are called syntax.
How many types of sentences are there?
There are four types of sentences:

Sentences: Assertive . Youre a good & an intelligent student.


Imperative . Concentrate and read.
Interrogative ? Is this easy to understand?
Exclamatory ! My GOD! Its so handy & informative.

CASE The form of a noun, an adjective or a pronoun in some languages, that


shows its relationship to another word; Nominative/accusative/Genitive

Semi Vowels
(also glides, more rarely: semi consonants) are non-syllabic vowels that form
diphthongs with syllabic vowels. They may be contrasted with approximants,
which are similar to but closer than vowels or semivowels and behave as
consonants. Semivowels are normally written by adding the IPA non-syllabicity
mark [ ] to a vowel symbol, but often for simplicity the vowel symbol alone is
written.
To illustrate, the English word wow may be transcribed as [wa] (or abbreviated
to [wa]). Even though both the [w] and the [] are similar to the vowel [u], the
transcription [wa] indicates that the initial segment is considered to be a
consonant by the transcriber, while the final segment is considered to form a
diphthong with the preceding vowel. The approximant [w] is more constricted and
therefore more consonant-like than the semivowel [].
Because they are so similar phonetically, the concepts of semivowel and
approximant are often used interchangeably. In this conflated usage, semivowels
are defined as those approximants that correspond phonetically to specific close
vowels. The semivowel is considered by some to be the same as a vowel but the
semivowel is very different. Take "w" for instance, which is a semivowel but not a
vowel. These are [j], corresponding to [i]; [w] for [u]; [] for [y]; and [] for
[].

in a particular language

VOWEL
For speakers of English the consonants don't present much of a problem (with the
exception of /r/ and /l/). The vowels are more difficult. To pronounce Vowels
correctly it is sufficient to focus on diphthongization and vowel reduction. Don't
diphthongize vowels and don't reduce them to schwa.

The five vowels their counterparts


Vowels are produced when the lungs push air through the mouth. The mouth
functions as a resonance chamber, and by varying the shape of this chamber,
primarily by means of the tongue, we produce different vowel sounds.
Consonants are characterized by a complete or partial blockage of the oral cavity,
whereas in the case of vowels there is no blockage and we can prolong the vowel
sound as long as we can continue to expel air from the lungs. The vocal chords
vibrate during vowel production.
These five vowels can be represented in 2-dimensions based on the position of
the tongue.

front central back


high I u beet boot see Sue
mid e o bait boat say So
low a bot father
These letters are used in the same way in the International Phonetic Alphabet and
in many languages. English is probably unique among the languages of the earth
in the way in which it uses these letters to represent vowel sounds. This is a
consequence of a major change in English pronunciation which occurred about
600 years ago and is called the Great English Vowel Shift. The English words
indicate the sounds approximately. Pronounce these sounds and try to feel what
your tongue is doing. It is also helpful to look in a mirror. Note also the role of
the lips.
The non-low English vowels are diphthongs consisting of a pure vowel following
by tongue movement. This tongue movement is called a semi-vowel or an off-
glide. The term 'off-glide' is suggestive because the tongue either moves or
glides upward and forward to the position of the high front vowel /i/ or upward
and back to the position of the high back vowel /u/. You should be able to feel
and/or see the movement of your tongue and your lips. The vowels could be
indicated by the following:

front central back


high ij u beet boot see Sue
mid ej o bait boat say so
low a bot father

Diphthongs
Also gliding vowel (Greek , "diphthongos", literally "with two sounds,"
or "with two tones") is a monosyllabic vowel combination involving a quick but
smooth movement from one vowel to another, often interpreted by listeners as a
single vowel sound or phoneme. Diphthongs have two target tongue positions.
For example English "same" as /sem/, where the two vowel symbols are
intended to represent approximately the beginning and ending tongue positions.
They are

front central back


high uj buoy gooey
mid ej oj bay boy say soy
low aj buy sigh

front central back


high
mid e o boat low
low a bout cow
/a/ as in English 'bout', /aj/ as in English /buy/, and /oj/ as in English 'boy' occur
frequently.
/e/ and /uj/ are somewhat less frequent.
All five have something in common which is lacking in the 4 English diphthongs
which are to be avoided. The off-glides are intrinsically high, and /aj/ and /a/
combine a low vowel and a high off-glide. /oj/ and /uj/ combine a back vowel
and a front off-glide, and /e/ combines a front vowel and a back off-glide. In
each case there is contrast between the position of the vowel and the off-glide.
To be avoided are the cases where there is no contrast: a front non-low vowel
combined with a front off-glide, and a back non-low vowel combined with a back
off-glide.

Lax vowels
The 4 non-low English vowels mentioned above with the off-glide removed are
common in the languages of the world and are called long vowels or tense
vowels. In English there is a corresponding set of short or lax vowels. The /a/ in
'father' is also a lax vowel. In the production of tense vowels, the muscles of the
mouth are relatively tense; in the production of the corresponding lax vowel, they
are relaxed and the tongue tends to move slightly toward the center of the
mouth. Try pronouncing some of the tense/lax pairs and see if you can feel these
changes. For the lax vowels in the following chart useses the standard IPA
(International Phonetic Alphabet) symbols.

front central back


high  (u) bit put sit soot
mid
(e) (0) bet bought set saw
low a bot father
However, both the tense vowel /e/ and the lax vowel /
/ of 'bet' occur in the
speech of many speakers, and the distribution probably depends on the
distribution in the native language of the speaker. Use whichever one makes you
feel comfortable. Where the distribution is as follows: before /r/ or /rr/ and in
closed syllables (those which end in a consonant) use [
]; otherwise use the
tense vowel [e]. In fact among native speakers there is substantial variation in
this distribution.

Vowel reduction
Yet other important matter needs to be mentioned. Another vowel is common in
English. It is the mid central low-energy vowel called schwa designated by the
symbol //. It is called a low-energy vowel because the tongue is in a neutral
middle-of-the-mouth position, and it doesn't take much effort to produce it.
Loosely speaking, lax vowels become schwa when they are not stressed. This
process is called vowel reduction. An example is the pair galaxy/galactic. In the
first member of the pair, the second vowel is unstressed and is reduced to
schwa. In the second member, the first vowel is unstressed and is reduced to
schwa. English speakers should strive assiduously to avoid it. Every vowel has
the same sound, whether stressed or unstressed.

On-glides
The glides mentioned above, which indicate tongue movement, are often called
semi-vowels. They always occur next to a pure vowel. When they follow the
vowel, they are called off-glides and convert the pure vowel into a diphthong.
They can also occur before a vowel, in which case they are called on-glides. They

still indicate tongue movement, but now in the opposite direction. The front on-
glide represented by the letter 'j' is movement of the tongue from the position of
the high front vowel /i/ to the position of the following vowel, and the back on-
glide represented by the letter '' is movement from the position of the high back
vowel 'u' to the position of the following vowel.
Linguists create models to describe languages. These models are not absolute,
and different models may be useful for different purposes. In this latter view not
all possible combinations of vowel + semi-vowel occur. It may be convenient to
consider the on-glides as part of the system of consonants.
Consider the two words 'mielo' = honey and 'mjelo' = medulla spinalis, part of
the nervous system contained in the spine. In order to pronounce the two vowels
in 'mielo' which occur in succession, the tongue has to move from the position of
/i/ to the position of /e/. That movement is precisely how it has been described
in the on-glide /j/, and correspondingly the difference in pronunciation between
the above two words is very slight.
The back on-glide // naturally occurs in many languages, for example, 'water'.
In modern terminology, the back off-glide occurs, but the back on-glide does not
(except for a very small number of specialized purposes). Where the back on-
glide occurs substitutes /v/. Thus 'Gvatemalo' = Guatemala and 'Nikaragvo' =
Nicaragua. 'kvar' = four and 'kvin' = five are from Latin 'quattuor' and 'quinque'
respectively. Compare the pronunciation of English 'quarter', 'quintet'.

NOUN: Naming Words are called as nouns Any name would be a Noun.

As per some Grammarians nouns are classified into five types:


o Proper That which properly defines an object.
o Common That which belongs to one particular type of class.
o Collective That which is a congregation of collection of things.
o Material All the metals that we find in the periodic table.
o Abstract That which cannot be seen or touched but felt in the mind.

Collective: Assembly, Showroom, Troop of monkeys. Sugar, Stars, Hair,
Material: Elements in the periodic table. Countable :A, 1, The. .
Abstract: Which do not have dimensions?

Singulars : Only one, generally we prefix a or an before a singular noun.


Plurals : More than one, in other words many.
Plurals are mainly divided into four parts:
o Regular

Plurals We They

PRONOUNS: Instead of a Noun / proxy to a noun / used for a noun.


These pronouns are basically classified into six types. Each grammarian has his
or her own ways of classifying things. For easy usage we have adopted
this method:
Subject Pronoun Used in the first part of the sentence. The
doer of an action.
Object Pronoun Used in the object of a sentence. The receiver
of an action.
Possessive Pronoun Shows the ownership of an item.
Emphatic / Reflexive Actions done with out anybodys help

o Psychology These adjectives give more information about the mentality


of a person. Ex: Brave boy, timid girl, confused person, intelligent
students
o Person Hear we describe how the person looks. Ex:

VERBS Action words are called as verbs. Verbs are also used in time
sense. Here we might have a doubt as to what time is? Time is nothing but the
gap between two incidences. Time has been divided into three parts:
Past Things that are over. One second prior to the present
Present Those are happening now & here.
Future That would occur later. One second later to the present.

For easy understanding we have divided the verb structure into three groups
1. Helping verbs
2. Main Verbs
3. Modal Verbs

Helping Verbs: These are again divided into two types

i. Be Forms
Past Present Future
Singular Was Am, is Shall * be

ANGIRASA Spiritual-Counseling-Language CENTER  +91 0 98446 06196 / 98800 06196 / 9243106196 Page 88 of 136
A 2 Z of Language compiled by Amara Brahma Cumar

Plural Were are Will * be

ii. Auxiliary Verbs


Past Present Future
Simple Did Do, does Shall, will
Perfect Had Have, has Will have / has

Main Verbs: are of five types which are called by different names by different
grammarians:
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
I Form II Form III Form IV Form V Form
Root Verb Past Tense Past Participle Present Participle S Verbs
Present d/ed verbs en/ed verbs Progressive Verbs
Continuous Verbs

V2 are of three types:


a) Weak Verb: If a present tense verb changes easily to past tense by
taking either d or ed it is called as Regular verb.
b) Strong Verb: If a present tense verb doesnt change easily to past tense
by adding d or ed then they are called as Irregular verbs.
c) Non-Changing Verbs: Verbs that do not change in past and past
participle are called as Non changing verbs.

Some basic example of three forms of verbs:


Present Past (-ed form) Past Participle (-en form)
Arise Arose arisen
Ask Asked asked
Attack Attacked attacked
Awaken awakened OR awoke awakened
Bear Bore borne/born
Begin Began begun
Blow Blew blown
Break Broke broken
Bring Brought brought
Burst Burst burst
Choose Chose chosen

Well the fourth and fifth forms are not listed below because they are easiy
derived by adding ing to the root verb or by adding s or es depending upon
the spelling rule.

Adverbs That which adds some thing to the verb. Adverbs are of basically
three types
A. Manner It says how* an action has happened
B. Place It says where an action has occurred
C. Time It says when an action has taken place

* Please not that the answer for how could be either an Adjective or and Adverb.
The thumb-rule we should see as to on what the question is being posed, if the
question is on the verb it becomes Adverb or if it is on a Verb it becomes Adverb.

How is Rakesh? Rakesh is Fine. Adjective


How did Rakesh Sing? Rakesh sang melodiously. Adverb

MODALS

Often used but least explained is this topic Modals. The complexity involved in
this is the same ness in meaning but difference in attitude.

The general confusion is with regard to the classification

ANGIRASA Spiritual-Counseling-Language CENTER  +91 0 98446 06196 / 98800 06196 / 9243106196 Page 99 of 136
A 2 Z of Language compiled by Amara Brahma Cumar

Formal confusion is regarding its place in the usage of auxiliary verb to be


treated as modal or as another Part of Speech?

Semantic confusion is to deal with the meanings of various modals but also the
interpersonal dialectic usage with regional difference and preference of ones
choice.

To reduce the confusion lets us know the difference between the modals and the
modalities

Some Grammarians classify modals into five types and the other divide them into
three types:-

Classical Method:
Ability - Possibility
Inability - Negative using nt
Request - Inversion with the subject
Half vowel - have / has, used to, need to (semi modals/Hybrid)
Obligatory - Emphatic stress

General Method:

Epistemic Speakers judgement with respect to truth of preposition.


Example: Aish may go home. (Uncertinity of aish going home)
Karthick must be home. (Look! His car is parked in the porch)

Deontic Oriented towards performing speech actions / influencing


Example: Prathima and Sowmya may go home now.
(To give permission for Prathima to leave).
(Sowmya should go home. She looks tired)

Dynamic in considerations to strengths


Example: He has to be at home. Hypothetical.
She must be at home. Inference

You must be in the class on time. (Clearly speaker oriented)


We have to be in the class on time. (Clearly external)

Let = Allow = Permit


Let 2 2 + Let = Available.
Allow or Permit + Object Proper-Noun + 2 + root verb.

Remember that all these words have the same meaning permission.
These words should be accompanied by an object pronoun.
The object pronoun should be followed by a root verb in case of Let and an
infinitive verb in the case of Allow / Permit.

Let him come into the class.


Allow him to come into the Class. Permit him to enter the class.

Let is also used to scold people


 Let me go to the dogs
 Let him die
 Let him suffer
 Let him go to hell

INFINITIVES
2+V Explains the purpose of the sentence.

Infinitives are of two types:


Bare Infinities Here we use to followed by bare verb (present verb)
Modal Infinities Here we use a modal verb followed by be and root verb

Infinities
Subject + verb + root verb These boys want to go.
These lessons are to be completed. Its going to rain.
Bare Verbs / Modal Infinities
Subject + MV + Root Verb Rakesh can call Rajesh.

GERUND
V+ing Pp = B4m+ Ving Subjective, Objective & OPG

Progressive verbs are called as Gerunds. Remember that there should not be a
Be-form before a Verb ing.
Gerunds are of three types. Based on the usage and its position in the sentence
they have been classified:
Subject When a sentence starts with and progressive verb it is called
as Subject Gerund.

Smoking is injurious for health

Object When progressive verbs are used in the object of a sentence
with out a Be-form being prefixed then they are called OG
I love helping the needy
Cumar likes sharing thoughts in philosophy, management &
Language
OPG Object of Prepositions are just like Object Gerunds, but the OG is
prefixed by a preposition.
Thank you Dr.TH for all that you have done.

VOICE
Active: Subject is doing an action. Rama killed Ravana.
Passive: Subject is receiving an action. Ravana was killed by Rama.

Voices are of two types:


Active All the while what ever we have been reading were Actives.
Subject is highlighted in the AC.
The Sentences starts with a Subject.
There is a particular form of verb structures and a unique relationship
between Verb and Auxiliary verb.
Passive Preference is given the Verb / Action.
Verb should be in Past Participle form.
Donations are given by philanthropists.
Most of the portions are completed by us.

The sentence ends with the doer of the action like by


Latest model electronic gadgets are procured by fancy buyers.
This grammar is written by ABC.

Under three circumstances we do not use by in a sentence


 When every body knows the doer of an action
 When no one knows the doer of action
 When we are more concerned about the action.

Passives can be made in three ways


Ordinary Passives Language is learnt
Infinitive Passives The language English has to be learnt
Modal Passives The grammar can be learnt

SIX WAYS TO IMPROVE ONES NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS

Advantages of Non Verbal Communication:


An awareness of nonverbal behavior will allow you to become better
receivers of students' messages.
You will become a better sender of signals that reinforce learning.
This mode of communication increases the degree of the perceived
psychological closeness between teacher and student.

Some major areas of nonverbal behaviors to explore are:


Eye contact
Facial expressions
Gestures
Posture and body orientation
Proximity
Paralinguistics
Humor

Eye contact:
Eye contact, an important channel of interpersonal communication, helps regulate
the flow of communication. And it signals interest in others. Furthermore, eye
contact with audiences increases the speaker's credibility. Teachers who make
eye contact open the flow of communication and convey interest, concern,
warmth and credibility.

Facial expressions:
Smiling is a powerful cue that transmits:
Happiness
Friendliness
Warmth
Liking
Affiliation
Thus, if you smile frequently you will be perceived as more likable, friendly, warm
and approachable. Smiling is often contagious and students will react favorably
and learn more.

Gestures:
If you fail to gesture while speaking, you may be perceived as boring, stiff and
unanimated. A lively and animated teaching style captures students' attention,
makes the material more interesting, facilitates learning and provides a bit of
entertainment. Head nods, a form of gestures, communicate positive
reinforcement to students and indicate that you are listening.

Posture and body orientation:


You communicate numerous messages by the way you walk, talk, stand and sit.
Standing erect, but not rigid, and leaning slightly forward communicates to
students that you are approachable, receptive and friendly. Furthermore,
interpersonal closeness results when you and your students face each other.
Speaking with your back turned or looking at the floor or ceiling should be
avoided; it communicates disinterest to your class.

Proximity:
Cultural norms dictate a comfortable distance for interaction with students. You
should look for signals of discomfort caused by invading students' space. Some of
these are:
Rocking

A 2 Z of Language compiled by Amara Brahma Cumar

Leg swinging
Tapping
Gaze aversion
Typically, in large college classes space invasion is not a problem. In fact, there is
usually too much distance. To counteract this, move around the classroom to
increase interaction with your students. Increasing proximity enables you to make
better eye contact and increases the opportunities for students to speak.

Paralinguistics:
This facet of nonverbal communication includes such vocal elements as:
Tone
Pitch
Rhythm
Timbre
Loudness
Inflection
For maximum teaching effectiveness, learn to vary these six elements of your
voice. One of the major criticisms is of instructors who speak in a monotone.
Listeners perceive these instructors as boring and dull. Students report that they
learn less and lose interest more quickly when listening to teachers who have not
learned to modulate their voices.

Humor:
Humor is often overlooked as a teaching tool, and it is too often not encouraged
in college classrooms. Laughter releases stress and tension for both instructor
and student. You should develop the ability to laugh at yourself and encourage
students to do the same. It fosters a friendly classroom environment that
facilitates learning. (Lou Holtz wrote that when his players felt successful he
always observed the presence of good humor in the locker room.)
Obviously, adequate knowledge of the subject matter is crucial to your success;
however, it's not the only crucial element. Creating a climate that facilitates
learning and retention demands good nonverbal and verbal skills. To improve
your nonverbal skills, record your speaking on video tape. Then ask a colleague in
communications to suggest refinements.

EVERYTHING IS PRE DESTINED IN LIFE

Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were
traveling in an autorickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them
died. Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death.
He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN. But, for Laloo, Yama had
already decided that he should be sent to HELL.
Laloo is not at all happy with this decision. He asks Yama as to why this
discrimination is being made. All the three of them had served the public.
Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public positions, etc. Then whey the
differential treatment? He requested that there should be a formal test or an
objective evaluation before a decision is made; and should not be just based on
opinion or pre-conceived notions.
Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an
English Test.
PVNR is asked to spell INDIA and he does it correctly.
Advani is asked to spell ENGLISH and he too passes.
It is Laloos turn and he is asked to spell CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
Laloo protests that he doesnt know English. He says this is not fair and
that he was given a tough question and thus forced to fail with false intent.
Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another
chance assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal
platform for all three).
PVNR is asked to write KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW. He writes it easily
and passes.
Advani is asked to write BILLI BOLI MYAUN MYAUN. He too passes.
Laloo is asked to write BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR.. Tough one. He
fails again.
Laloo is extremely unhappy.
Having been a student of history (Which the other two werent), he now
requested Yama, for all the three to be subjected to a test in history.
Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not
take any more tests.

PVNR is asked: When did India get Independence? He replied 1947


and passed.
Advani is asked How many people died during the independence
struggle? He gets nervous.
Yama asked him to choose from three options: 100,000, 200,000 or 300,
000. Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
Its Laloos turn now..
Yama asks him to give the names and addresses of each of the 200,000
who died in the struggle.
Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.
Moral of the story: IF THE SECOND PERSON / MANAGEMENT HAS
DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

Yea, Even Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil, for you are with me Psalm 23 King David.

There is no happiness beyond the joy I am in. By making me your PM you will be
dragging me down from my heights, for there is no joy beyond this. Now to go
forward in any direction is to go back. To move an inch from where I am is to
lose. There is no greater bliss than that I am in- Chwang Tse disciple of Lao Tse
(571 BC).

An i for an I
Once upon a time there were five friends a, e, i, o and u who decided
to go and live among a race of people called the Consonants. The Consonants
were a rough bunch who rarely got along well with each other. But after the five
friends, who called themselves the Vowels, came to live with them, matters
improved immensely. They forged new bonds between the Consonants and
brought a sense of togetherness to the community. Not longer after, all the
members decided to elect a king from their midst and no one was surprised when
the sensible, modest i emerged as the unanimous choice. Capital! Capital!!
cried the other Vowels in delight as the jeweled crown was placed on the head of
i, who now became I, the emperor of the kingdom of words. I ruled wisely and
well with the help of his four friends who he consulted on all matters As for the
townsfolk, they loved their king so much that whenever they had to speak about
themselves, they would use their good king's name instead. Thus, peace and
harmony prevailed in Worlds.
However, not so long ago, the four friends noticed a change in the attitude
of the people. Curiously, I's subjects seemed to be growing resentful towards
their king. The reason behind this came to light one day when the quarter
received an invitation from a mysterious stranger called Toi. The four Vowels
called at his house that night and returned a few hours later, thoroughly shaken.
Toi had told them that he wasn't happy with the existing state of affairs as it was
unfair. Monarchy is a fading notice, he had explained calmly, A lone individual
should not be invested with all the powers. Toi told them that he had spoken to
the people many times in the last few months and all had agreed with him.
Persuade him to abdicate. It's for the best, he had said gently. And so, to the
citizens' delight, I once again agreed to become i, a commoner. Secretly, he was
quite relieved as he was getting a bit tired of being kind. His friends, too, were
glad to have him back. And Toi? He continued being the silent haringer of
change. The question is, is there a moral in this story? Well even if there is, one
thing's for sure: 'i' wouldn't know.
