Q1: Write down qualities of active listening & explain them in ur

own words.

ANSWER:
1. Empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another
person. When you are empathetic, you are able to put yourself in the
other person's shoes and see things from their perspective. This is
essential for active listening, as it allows you to truly understand what
the other person is saying, both verbally and nonverbally.

2. Attention

Active listening requires you to give the speaker your full attention. This
means putting away your phone, making eye contact, and avoiding
distractions. It also means being present in the moment and focusing on
what the speaker is saying, rather than thinking about what you are
going to say next.

3. Open-mindedness
When you are an active listener, you are open to hearing different
perspectives and viewpoints, even if they differ from your own. You are
also willing to consider new information and change your mind if
necessary.

4. Asking questions
Asking questions is a great way to show the speaker that you are
listening and that you are interested in what they have to say. It also
helps you to better understand their perspective and to clarify any points
of confusion.

5. Compassion
Compassion is the ability to understand and share the feelings of
another person. When you are compassionate, you are able to
empathize with the speaker and offer them support.

6. Non-judgment
Active listening requires you to be non-judgmental. This means avoiding
judging the speaker or their experiences. It also means avoiding
interrupting or offering unsolicited advice.

7. Reflection
Reflection is a technique that can be used to show the speaker that you
are listening and that you understand what they are saying. It involves
repeating back to the speaker what you have heard, in your own words.

8. Awareness of verbal and nonverbal messages


Active listening requires you to be aware of both verbal and nonverbal
messages. Verbal messages are the words that the speaker is saying.
Nonverbal messages include things like body language, tone of voice,
and facial expressions.

Q3: Explain SVO structure & fill all d Parts of Speech in the
sentence formula with their correct placing in sentences.

ANSWER:

SVO structure, also known as subject-verb-object, is the most common


sentence structure in English. It refers to the order in which the subject,
verb, and object of a sentence are placed.

Subject:
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea
that is performing the action of the verb.

Verb:
The verb is the action word in a sentence. It tells us what the
subject is doing.

Object:
The object of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that
is being acted upon by the verb.
In an SVO sentence, the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and
then the object.

Example of an SVO sentence:

The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse (object).

In this sentence, the subject is "the cat," the verb is "chased," and the
object is "the mouse."

Here is a table of the parts of speech in the sentence formula, with their
correct placing in sentences:

Part of speech Placement in an SVO sentence


Subject First
Verb Second
Object Third

Examples of SVO sentences:


1. The dog (subject) barked (verb) at the mailman (object).
3. The students (subject) studied (verb) for the test (object).

Q6: Define & Explain Article with it's types and uses with Vowel &
Consonants with examples.

ANSWER:

Article:
An article is a word that is used before a noun to indicate whether it is
specific or general.
There are two types of articles in English: definite and indefinite.
1. Definite article:
The definite article is "the". It is used to refer to a specific noun.

Example:
The dog is barking.
The book is on the table.
The teacher is giving a lesson.

Indefinite articles:
The indefinite articles are "a" and "an". They are used to refer to
a general noun.

Example:
A dog is barking.
A book is on the table.
A teacher is giving a lesson.

Usage with vowels and consonants:



We use "a" before a consonant sound, even if the word begins with a
vowel.

Examples:
A university
A apple
A hour

We use "an" before a vowel sound.

Exceptions:
There are a few exceptions to the general rules for using articles.
1. We do not use an article before a plural noun.

For example:
Dogs are barking.
Books are on the table.
Teachers are giving lessons.

2. We do not use an article before a proper noun.

For example:
John is a teacher.
Mary is a student.
London is the capital of England.

Q7: Explain Consonant and Vowel Sounds articulation.

ANSWER:

Articulation of Consonant and Vowel Sounds:


The articulation of consonant and vowel sounds can be complex, and
there is a lot of variation between individual speakers. However, there
are some general principles that apply.
Consonant Sounds:
Consonant sounds are typically produced by obstructing the airflow
through the vocal tract. This can be done by closing the lips, raising the
tongue, or constricting the throat.

The specific articulatory movements required to produce a particular


consonant sound depend on the place of articulation and the voicing of
the sound. For example, to produce the bilabial consonant /b/, the lips
are closed and the vocal cords vibrate. To produce the alveolar
consonant /t/, the tongue is raised to the alveolar ridge and the vocal
cords do not vibrate.

Vowel sounds:
Vowel sounds are produced by unobstructing the airflow through the
vocal tract. The tongue and lips can be positioned in different ways to
produce different vowel sounds.

The specific articulatory movements required to produce a particular


vowel sound depend on the tongue height, tongue frontness, and lip
rounding of the sound. For example, to produce the high front vowel /i/,
the tongue is raised to the high position in the front of the mouth and the
lips are unrounded. To produce the low central vowel /æ/, the tongue is
lowered to the low position in the central part of the mouth and the lips
are spread.

Conclusion:
The articulation of consonant and vowel sounds is a complex process
that involves the coordination of many different parts of the vocal tract.
By understanding the basic principles of consonant and vowel
articulation, you can improve your pronunciation and communication
skills.

Q8: Define Adjective, with all it's Degrees & it's groups.

ANSWER:

Adjective:
An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun by describing,
identifying, or quantifying it. Adjectives can tell us about the size, shape,
color, age, material, origin, or other qualities of a noun or pronoun.
For example:
in the sentence "The big, red ball bounced down the hill," the adjectives
"big" and "red" modify the noun "ball." They tell us about the ball's size
and color.

Degrees of Adjectives:

Adjectives have three degrees: positive, comparative, and


superlative.

Positive degree:
The positive degree is the basic form of the adjective. It simply
describes the quality of the noun or pronoun.
For example:
"The ball is big."

Comparative degree:
The comparative degree compares two nouns or pronouns. It is formed
by adding "-er" to the end of the adjective, or by using the word "more"
before the adjective.
For example:
"The red ball is bigger than the blue ball."

Superlative degree:
The superlative degree compares three or more nouns or pronouns. It
is formed by adding "-est" to the end of the adjective, or by using the
word "most" before the adjective.
For example:
"The red ball is the biggest ball of all."

Groups of Adjectives:
Adjectives can be grouped into different categories based on
their meaning. Some common groups of adjectives include:

Descriptive adjectives:
Descriptive adjectives describe the qualities of nouns and pronouns.

For example:
big, red, cold, new, old, happy, sad, angry.
Quantitative adjectives:
Quantitative adjectives quantify nouns and pronouns. They tell us how
many or how much of something there is.

For example:
one, two, three, many, few, all, half.
Demonstrative adjectives: Demonstrative adjectives point to specific
nouns and pronouns.
For example:
this, that, these, those.

Possessive adjectives:
Possessive adjectives show ownership.
For example:
my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

Interrogative adjectives:
Interrogative adjectives are used in questions.
For example:
what, which, whose.

Q9. A: Define syllable & explain how & when d next


syllable starts.

ANSWER:

Syllable:
A syllable is a unit of sound in a word. It is made up of a vowel sound
and any surrounding consonant sounds.

For example:
The word "cat" has one syllable, and the word "computer" has three
syllables.

The next syllable starts when there is a new vowel sound. This can be a
single vowel sound, or it can be a vowel sound followed by a consonant
sound. For example, the word "cat" has one syllable because it has one
vowel sound. The word "computer" has three syllables because it has
three vowel sounds: "com-pu-ter."
Here are some tips for determining how many
syllables a word has:
Clap your hands for each vowel sound you hear.
Count the number of vowel sounds in the word.
Remember that consonants can go at the beginning or end of a
syllable.
If there is a single vowel sound at the end of a word, it is its own
syllable. For example, the word "go" has one syllable.
If there are two vowel sounds at the end of a word, they are usually in
their own syllables.

For example:
the word "die" has two syllables.

B: Define 1st person, 2nd person & 3rd per.


ANSWER:
we have three grammatical persons: first person, second
person, and third person.

First person:
The first person is the speaker or writer. It is used to refer to oneself or
to a group of people that the speaker or writer is part of. First person
pronouns include I, me, my,mine, we, us, our,and ours.

Examples:

We are having a party tonight.

Second person:
The second person is the person or people being spoken to or written
to. It is used to address someone directly. Second person pronouns
include you,your, yours, and y'all.

Examples:
You are a good friend.
Y'all are coming to the party, right?

Third person:
The third person is the person or people being spoken about or written
about. It is used to refer to someone or something that is not the
speaker or writer, or the person or people being spoken to or written to.
Third person pronouns include "he," him, his,hers,it, its, they, them,
their, and theirs.

Examples:
He is a doctor.
She is a teacher.
It is a beautiful day.
They are going to the park.

Q10: Define Conjunctions & Prepositions, with example words &

Prepositions
Prepositions:
Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or
pronoun and another word in the sentence. They can indicate location,
direction, time, or manner.

below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, by, during, for, from, in, into,
like, near, of, off, on, onto, out, outside, over, past, since, through, to,
toward, under, underneath, until, upon, with, and within.

Roles in sentences:
Conjunctions and prepositions play important roles in sentences.
Conjunctions help us to connect ideas and to create more complex
sentences. Prepositions help us to show the relationships between
words and to create more precise sentences.
Here are some examples of how conjunctions and prepositions are
used in sentences:

Conjunctions:
I love cats and dogs. (compound sentence)
I went to the store because I needed to buy milk.
