Clauses

 Topic 10 just can't tell, how I'm enjoying this tutorial.in this blog I going to focus on clauses,I know it is simple but there are those that are still struggling. 🥰😊 Definition: A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. Clauses can function as sentences or parts of sentences. Types of Clauses: Independent Clause: Can stand alone as a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought. Example: "She enjoys reading." Dependent (Subordinate) Clause: Cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and depends on an independent clause to give it meaning. Example: "Although she was tired, she finished the book." Subcategories of Dependent Clauses: Adjective (Relative) Clauses: Modify nouns or pronouns. They often start with relative pronouns like "who," "which," or "that." Example: "The book that she borrowed was fascinating." Adverbial Clauses: Modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs and answe...

Topic 8  This time my blog will be about  synonyms. Sometimes it seems to be an easy things ,but in most cases people don't know what it mean and which one is synonyms.

Figures of speech

 Topic 7 Let's look at figures of speech  Certainly! Figures of speech are literary devices used to create effects, convey meanings, and enhance writing. Here are some common figures of speech: 1. Simile Definition: A comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as." Example: "Her smile was as bright as the sun." 2. Metaphor Definition: A direct comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as." Example: "Time is a thief." 3. Personification Definition: Giving human characteristics to non-human entities or objects. Example: "The wind whispered through the trees." 4. Hyperbole Definition: An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, used for emphasis. Example: "I've told you a million times."" These figures of speech help to make language more vivid, expressive, and effective in both written and spoken forms.

Direct and indirect speech

 Topic:6 Direct Speech Direct speech involves quoting the exact words spoken by someone. It is typically enclosed in quotation marks. Example: Direct Speech: She said, "I am going to the store." Indirect Speech Indirect speech involves reporting what someone said without quoting their exact words. It generally requires changes to pronouns, verb tenses, and sometimes word order. Example: Indirect Speech: She said that she was going to the store. Key Differences: Quotation Marks: Direct Speech: Uses quotation marks to enclose the spoken words. Indirect Speech: No quotation marks are used. Pronouns and Tenses: Direct Speech: Pronouns and tenses remain as originally spoken. Indirect Speech: Pronouns and tenses may change to fit the reporting sentence. Punctuation: Direct Speech: Punctuation marks are placed inside the quotation marks. Indirect Speech: Standard punctuation rules apply, no quotation marks. Changes in Tenses: Present Simple → Past Simple: "I like pizza" be...

Active and passive verbs (voice)

Image
 Topic :5  This is what I like most😊 I enjoy teaching and listening to passive and active voices whenever my learners are presenting.  Certainly! Active and passive voice are ways to structure sentences based on the focus of the action and the participants involved. Active Voice In the active voice, the subject performs the action expressed by the verb. This structure is generally more direct and dynamic. Structure: Subject + Verb + Object Example: The dog (subject) chased (verb) the cat (object). In this sentence, "the dog" is doing the chasing, and "the cat" is receiving the action. Passive Voice In the passive voice, the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence, and the focus shifts to the action itself or the recipient of the action. The performer of the action may be mentioned or omitted. Structure: Object (new subject) + Form of "to be" + Past Participle + (by + Subject) Example: The cat (new subject) was chased (verb) by the dog...
