ACTIVE PASSIVE
An active sentence is when the subject of the sentence performs
the action. It's straightforward and easy to understand.
For example: "John (subject) ate (action) the pizza (object)."
A passive sentence is when the subject of the sentence receives the
action. It's a bit more indirect.
For example: "The pizza (subject) was eaten (action) by John
(agent)."

In active sentences, the subject is doing the action. In passive


sentences, the subject is receiving the action. It's like the difference
between "John hit the ball" (active) and "The ball was hit by John"
(passive).

DIRECT & INDIRECT


Direct and indirect speech are ways to report what someone else
said.

Direct Speech
In direct speech, we quote the exact words of the speaker inside
quotation marks.
For example:
- Direct: Sarah said, "I love ice cream."
Indirect Speech
In indirect speech, we convey what someone said without quoting
them directly. We usually use reporting verbs like "said" or "told."

For example:
- Indirect: Sarah said that she loved ice cream.

Types of Direct and Indirect Speech

1. Statements
- Direct: He said, "I am tired."

- Indirect: He said that he was tired.

2. Questions
- Direct: She asked, "Are you coming?"
- Indirect: She asked if I was coming.

3. Commands
- Direct: The teacher said, "Do your homework."
- Indirect: The teacher told us to do our homework.

In indirect speech, we often need to change the pronouns, tense,


and sometimes the word order to match the new context. It's like
reporting what someone said in our own words.

VERB
A verb is a word that shows action or a state of being in a sentence.
It tells us what someone or something is doing or how they exist.

Types of Verbs
1. Action Verbs- These verbs show actions that someone or
something is doing.
- Example: "run," "jump," "eat," "write," "sing"
- Example sentence: "The dog runs in the park."

2. -Linking Verbs- These verbs link the subject of a sentence to a


noun or an adjective that describes it. They don't show action but
rather a state of being or a condition.
- Example: "is," "am," "are," "was," "were," "seem," "appear"
- Example sentence: "She is happy."

3. Helping Verbs (Auxiliary Verbs)**: These verbs work with the


main verb to show tense or to form questions and negatives.
(Asked in SPA/PA in 2019)
- Example: "do," "have," "will," "shall," "can," "may," "must"
- Example sentence: "I have finished my homework."

permission, or obligation.

QUESTION TAG
A question tag is a short question added to the end of a statement
to confirm or seek agreement with what has been said. It's a way to
engage the listener and confirm whether they agree with the
statement or not.

Example:
- Statement: "You're coming to the party, aren't you?"
- Question tag: "aren't you?"
Another example:
- Statement: "She doesn't like coffee."

PHRASAL VERBS
Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb and one or more particles
(typically prepositions or adverbs) that together function as a single
unit with a meaning different from the original verb. These
particles can change the meaning of the verb, adding nuances such
as direction, intensity, or completion.

Here are some examples:

1. Bring up- To mention or introduce a topic.


- Example: "She brought up the idea of going on a vacation."

2. Turn off- To deactivate or stop the operation of something.


- Example: "Please turn off the lights before leaving the room."

3. Get along- To have a good relationship with someone.


- Example: "They've been getting along very well since they met."

4. Run into- To encounter someone or something unexpectedly.


- Example: "I ran into an old friend at the grocery store."

- Example: "She's looking forward to her trip to Paris."

6. Take off- To remove something quickly or to become airborne.


- Example: "He took off his jacket as soon as he entered the warm
room."

Phrasal verbs are common in English and are often used in both
informal and formal contexts. They can sometimes be challenging
for non-native speakers because their meanings may not be
obvious from the individual words.

SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT


Subject-verb agreement is a grammatical rule that states that the
subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number. In
simpler terms, if the subject of a sentence is singular, the verb must
be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural.

Here's a clearer explanation:


-Singular Subjects- When the subject of a sentence is singular
(referring to one person, thing, or idea), the verb must also be
singular.
- Example: "She runs every morning."

Plural Subjects- When the subject of a sentence is plural (referring


to more than one person, thing, or idea), the verb must also be
plural.
- Example: "They run every morning."

The agreement between the subject and verb is important for the
sentence to make sense grammatically. When there is
disagreement between the subject and verb, it can lead to
confusion or ambiguity in the sentence.
