1-BASIC ENGLISH FOR S.S.C., BANKING, & TEACHERS' EXAMS.


BASIC  ENGLISH FOR S.S.C., BANKING, & TEACHERS'  EXAMS.

Our vast, resilient, democratic, and peace-loving nation is endowed with so many enchanting regional languages. Our pluralistic and all-embracing society has chosen  English as a link language for the governance and progress of our internationally admired nation.   
 
The advent of computers has made communication easy, expeditious, and gainful. A skill or degree acquired by you will remain dormant if it is not publicized. Computers give you the opportunity to sell your professional skills worldwide so conveniently. In this process, English has the most significant role in making your skills and degrees biddable. 
 
Many of us know that the founder of this educational venture, Mr Sachin Parashar Sharma,  is an exceptionally qualified and competent Computer Engineer renowned for his ethical, moral, professional, and above all philanthropic attributes. His ardent and avowed desire is that you should add the knowledge of Computers to your degree and let your skills become biddable all over the world.    
 
  BASIC   ENGLISH is one such segment of his employment-generating project. Strong grounding in Basic English is absolutely indispensable for qualing any competivie exam. Basic English is best learnt through knowing  THE STRUCTURE OF A SENTENCE. It means studying, understanding, and memorizing some very significant rules of English grammar.    
 
The Role of ACCIDENCE & SYNTAX in English grammar:   
1. Accidence or Morphology: It means the doctrine (theory)  of all   the forms (inflextions)  a language. Thus, we have inflected or changed the foms of many  words. We have created these inflections  for using them in  sentences  for  expressing  tenses, cases, persons, numbers, etc.
          2. Syntax. This part of grammar deals with the doctrine (theory)  of the structure of a sentence and this term, syntax,  further deals with the use of the forms (inflexions) in making sentences.
Having become conversant with the defintions of accidence and syntax,   we will start with  Lesson No.1 titled Subject and Predicate. We will find the use of accidence and syntax quite easy once we have understood  the role of Subject and Predicate. 
 
 
LESSON NO.  1 
 
SUBJECT AND PREDICATE.
 
1. Rain started.                    4. Amit started his car.                          7.  Amit is a doctor.
2. Traffic stopped.               5. He stopped Ravi.                              8. He is tall.
3. People gathered.              6. They gathered their luggage.
A sentence makes complete sense.  These are eight complete sentences because each one makes complete sense. Each sentence has two parts. The names given to these two parts are  SUBJECT and PREDICATE. Thus, we can have a sentence with just two words as in Nos. 1 to 3. We can have more words also as in the remaining sentences. Thus, English is a two-word language, Subject and Predicate.  Let us understand the definitions of these two.
 
SUBJECT: Subject is the person, place, or thing about which we say something.
 
PREDICATE: Predicate expresses the "action" or "state" of the subject. It consists of the verb (with object or complement, if any ) and any modifications and qualifications. 
 
In sentences nos.1 to 3, we have the Subject and the Predicate. The predicate has just the verb. Thus, every sentence must have at least a subject and a verb as the Predicate. Such a sentence is called SIMPLE SENTENCE. Other sentences are also Simple Sentences because each one has a Subject and Verb apart from having an  Object or Complement in accordance with the definition above 
 
The definitions of Subject and Predicate should be read, reread, reread, and reread for gauging their unfathomable value in the forthcoming lessons.
 
THE HIGHLIGHT  OF TODAY'S LESSON IS THAT A SIMPLE SENTENCE HAS A SUBJECT AND A VERB. IT MAY HAVE AN OBJECT OR  COMPLIMENT IF REQUIRED AS PER THE TEXT.
 
EXERCISE NO. 1
Given below is a list of some basic words. Use each one as the Subject.  Convert each one into a Simple Sentence by supplying it with just one word, the Verb (Predicate): 
1, A pen
2.  Leaves.
3. Wind.
4. Experience.
5. Cows.
 
EXERCISE NO. 2 
1, A pen
2.  Leaves.
3. Wind.
4. Experience.
5. Cows.
Now, make Simple Sentences of the aforesaid words by supplying each word with a Verb and an  Object also. The sense of thee sentences can be different from the sentences made earlier in Ex.  No.1
.
We will discuss the answers to these words later on. Best of luck. May God bless us all!
