1.1 BASIC ENGLISH GRAMMAR

1.1.1 TENSES

Sure, I can provide an explanation of the different tenses in

English grammar along with a table summarizing them. In
English, there are three main types of tenses: Present, Past,
and Future. Each of these tenses can be further divided into
simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous forms.

Here's a table summarizing the tenses in English grammar:

| Tense | Structure | Example

Sentence |
| Present Simple | Subject + Base Verb (s/es for third person)
| He reads books every day. |
| Present Continuous | Subject + am/is/are + Base Verb + -ing
| They are eating dinner now. |
| Present Perfect | Subject + have/has + Past Participle |
She has finished her homework. |
| Present Perfect Continuous | Subject + have/has been + Base
Verb + -ing | They have been studying all night. |
| Past Simple | Subject + Past Tense of Verb |
She visited her friend yesterday. |
| Past Continuous | Subject + was/were + Base Verb + -ing
| They were playing soccer yesterday. |
| Past Perfect | Subject + had + Past Participle | He
had already left when I arrived. |
| Past Perfect Continuous | Subject + had been + Base Verb +
-ing | She had been studying for hours. |
| Future Simple | Subject + will/shall + Base Verb |I
will call you later. |
| Future Continuous | Subject + will/shall be + Base Verb +
-ing | They will be traveling next month. |
| Future Perfect | Subject + will/shall have + Past Participle |
By next year, she will have graduated. |
| Future Perfect Continuous | Subject + will/shall have been +
Base Verb + -ing | They will have been working for 6 hours. |

Please note that this table provides a general structure for each
tense, and there may be variations or exceptions in specific
cases. Understanding and practicing these tenses will help you
use English verbs accurately in different contexts.

1.1.2 ARTICLES

Certainly! I'll provide an explanation of articles in English

grammar and organize the information in a table for clarity.

### Articles in English Grammar

Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.

In English, there are three main articles: "a," "an," and "the."
| Article | Usage | Example Sentences
|
| "a" | Used before words starting with a | - I saw **a**
cat in the street. |
| | consonant sound or a vowel sound | - She has
**a** new book. |
| | that sounds like a consonant |
|
| "an" | Used before words starting with a | - He found
**an** apple on the table. |
| | vowel sound | - She's **an**
excellent pianist. |
| "the" | Used to refer to a specific or | - I met **the**
CEO of the company. |
| | previously mentioned noun | - She visited
**the** museum last week. |
| | Used with superlative adjectives | - It's **the**
tallest building in town. |

### Key Points:

1. **"A" and "an"** are indefinite articles used to refer to

non-specific or unspecified nouns.

2. Use **"a"** before words that start with a consonant

sound, and use **"an"** before words that start with a vowel
sound.
3. **"The"** is a definite article used to refer to a specific or
previously mentioned noun.

4. Use **"the"** when referring to a specific item or thing, or

when the noun is already known to the reader or listener.

5. **"The"** is also used with superlative adjectives to refer

to the highest or lowest degree of a quality.

Understanding and correctly using articles in English

grammar is essential for clear and accurate communication.

1.2.3 ADJECTIVES

Certainly! I'll provide an explanation of adjectives in English

grammar and present it in a table format for easier understanding.

### Adjectives in English Grammar

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns.

They provide additional information about the noun's qualities,
characteristics, or attributes.

#### Types of Adjectives

| **Type** | **Explanation**
| **Examples** |
| **Descriptive** | Describe the characteristics, qualities, or
properties of a noun. They provide more specific information
about the noun's appearance, size, shape, color, etc. |
*beautiful*, *big*, *red*, *intelligent* |
| **Demonstrative** | Point out specific things or refer to
particular nouns. They indicate whether the noun is near or far in
space or time. | *this*, *that*,
*these*, *those* |
| **Possessive** | Indicate possession or ownership. They show
who owns or possesses a particular noun.
| *my*, *your*, *his*, *her*, *its*, *our*, *their* |
| **Quantitative** | Indicate the quantity or number of a noun.
They answer the question "how much?" or "how many?"
| *few*, *many*, *several*, *some*, *all*, *five* |
| **Interrogative** | Used to ask questions about a noun. They are
typically placed before the noun to gather more information or
seek clarification. | *which*, *what*,
*whose* |
| **Numeral** | Show the numerical order or quantity of a
noun. They can be cardinal (indicating quantity) or ordinal
(indicating order). | *three*, *first*,
*twentieth*, *hundredth* |
| **Indefinite** | Refer to non-specific or unidentified nouns.
They don't point to a particular noun but rather to any member of
a general group or category. | *some*, *any*,
*many*, *few*, *several* |
| **Comparative** | Compare two or more nouns and show the
difference in degree or level of a specific quality.
| *bigger*, *more beautiful*, *less intelligent* |
| **Superlative** | Show the highest degree or quality of a
particular noun within a group. They often end in "-est" or use
"most" or "least" before the adjective. | *largest*,
*most beautiful*, *least expensive* |

#### Usage of Adjectives

1. **Attributive Use**: Adjectives placed before the noun they

modify.
- *A beautiful flower.*
- *The tall building.*

2. **Predicative Use**: Adjectives that come after a linking verb

and describe the subject.
- *The cake is delicious.*
- *He seems tired.*

3. **Postpositive Use**: Adjectives placed after the noun they

modify.
- *The president elect.*

4. **Adjective Phrases**: Multiple adjectives used together to

describe a noun.
- *A beautiful, old, wooden desk.*

---

Adjectives play a crucial role in enhancing the meaning and

clarity of sentences by providing details and characteristics of
nouns and pronouns.

1.2.4 PREPOSITION
Certainly! Here's an explanation of prepositions in English
grammar presented in a table format:

| Term | Explanation
|
| **Definition** | Prepositions are words that show the
relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in a
sentence.|
| **Function** | They indicate location, time, direction,
manner, cause, possession, and other relationships. |
| **Examples** | - **Location**: on, in, under, over,
beside |
| | - **Time**: at, in, on, during, after, before
|
| | - **Direction**: to, into, towards, through
|
| | - **Manner**: with, like, by, as
|
| | - **Cause**: because of, due to, for
|
| | - **Possession**: of, belonging to
|
| **Usage** | Prepositions are used to connect nouns or
pronouns to other words in a sentence to give more context. |
| **Placement** | Typically, prepositions come before
nouns or pronouns (e.g., "on the table," "with her"). |
| **Prepositional Phrase** | A group of words that begins with
a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (the object of
the preposition). Example: "in the park." |
| **Common Mistakes** | - Misplacing prepositions (e.g.,
"Where is he at?" instead of "Where is he?")
| | - Incorrect usage of prepositions based on
context and meaning. |

Remember, while prepositions are an essential part of English

grammar, they can sometimes be challenging due to their
nuanced usage and the fact that they may not always directly
translate from one language to another. It's important to
practice and understand how prepositions work in different
contexts.

1.2.5 CONJUNCTIONS

Sure, I'll explain conjunctions in English grammar and present

the information in a table for clarity.

**Conjunctions in English Grammar:**

Conjunctions are words or groups of words used to connect

words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. They play a crucial role
in creating a smooth flow of ideas and relationships between
different parts of a sentence. There are three main types of
conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating
conjunctions, and correlative conjunctions.

Here's a table summarizing these types of conjunctions:

| **Conjunction Type** | **Function**
| **Examples** |
| Coordinating Conjunctions| Join words, phrases, or
independent clauses | and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet |
| | |
|
| Subordinating Conjunctions| Connect independent and
dependent clauses | because, although, if, since, when |
| | |
|
| Correlative Conjunctions| Join similar grammatical elements
| either...or, neither...nor, both...and, not only...but also |
| | |
|

**Examples of Conjunctions:**

1. **Coordinating Conjunctions:**
- I like coffee **and** tea.
- She is talented, **but** she is also humble.

2. **Subordinating Conjunctions:**
- He left early **because** it was raining.
- I will go for a walk **if** the weather is nice.

3. **Correlative Conjunctions:**
- **Either** we study now **or** we fail the exam.
- **Both** the cat **and** the dog are playful.
**Usage and Important Points:**

- Coordinating conjunctions are used to join words, phrases,

or independent clauses of equal importance.
- Subordinating conjunctions are used to join an independent
clause and a dependent clause, indicating a relationship of
time, cause, condition, or contrast.
- Correlative conjunctions always appear in pairs and are used
to link similar grammatical elements.
- Conjunctions help to create complex and meaningful
sentences by establishing connections and relationships
between different parts of a sentence.

1.2.6 VERB NOUN AGREEMENT

Verb-noun agreement, also known as subject-verb agreement,

is a grammatical rule in the English language that specifies
that the verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or
plural) with the noun or pronoun that it accompanies. This
means that a singular noun should be accompanied by a
singular verb, and a plural noun should be accompanied by a
plural verb.

Here's an explanation of verb-noun agreement in a table

format:

| Noun (Subject) | Singular | Plural |

| I (pronoun) | am | are |
| You (pronoun) | are | are |
| He/She/It | is | are |
| The cat | is | (no change) |
| The cats | (no change) | are |
| The dog | is | (no change) |
| The dogs | (no change) | are |

Explanation:
- When the subject (noun or pronoun) is singular, the verb
must also be singular. For example, "The cat is playful."
- When the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. For
example, "The cats are playful."
- The pronouns "I" and "you" have special forms for both
singular and plural subjects.

It's important to maintain this agreement for clarity and proper

sentence structure in English.

1.2.8 NARRATIVE SEQUENCE

Sure, I can explain the concept of narrative sequence in

English grammar using a table to organize the
information clearly.

| Term | Definition
| Example |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------
------------------------|--------------------------------------------------
-------|
| **Narrative Sequence**| A series of events or actions
arranged in a logical or chronological order | "He woke
up, had breakfast, and went to work." |
| **Chronological Order**| Events presented in the order
they occurred | "First, she arrived at the
airport. Then, she boarded the plane." |
| **Logical Order** | Events presented in a logical or
coherent sequence | "After finishing dinner,
she started her homework." |
| **Transition Words** | Words or phrases that connect
and guide readers through the narrative | "Firstly,"
"Next," "After that," "Finally" |
| **Narrative Flow** | Smooth progression of events
within a story, maintaining reader engagement | The story
flowed seamlessly from one event to another. |

Explanation:

1. **Narrative Sequence**: This is the main concept,

representing the arrangement of events or actions in a story.

2. **Chronological Order**: Events are presented in the order

they happened, like a timeline.

3. **Logical Order**: Events are arranged in a sequence that

makes sense, often following cause-and-effect or a logical
progression.
4. **Transition Words**: These words or phrases help in
guiding the reader through the story by indicating the order of
events or actions.

5. **Narrative Flow**: It's about how smoothly the story

progresses, keeping the reader engaged as events unfold in an
organized manner.

An example to tie it all together:

"In the morning, he woke up (logical order), had breakfast
(logical order), and went to work (logical order). Firstly, he
had a quick shower, then made toast for breakfast
(chronological order). After that, he drove to the office
(chronological order). Finally, he started his day's work
(logical order). The narrative flowed smoothly, making it easy
to follow the events."

This table and explanation provide a structured understanding

of the narrative sequence in English grammar.

1.2.2 NUMERICAL COMPUTATIONS AND

ESTIMATION

Certainly! I'll explain numerical computation and estimation

for various mathematical concepts like ratios, percentages,
powers, exponents and logarithms, permutations,
combinations, and series. Let's break it down into a table
format:

| Concept | Explanation
| Formulas/Methods |
|-----------------------|---------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------|---------------------
--------------------------------------|
| Ratios | Ratios represent the relative sizes of two or
more quantities. They can be expressed as a:b or a/b. | Ratio
=a/b |
| Percentages | Percentages represent a portion of a
whole, usually expressed as a fraction of 100. |
Percentage = (Part / Whole) * 100 |
| Power and Exponents | An exponent represents how many
times a number (base) is multiplied by itself. |
Power: \(a^b\), where \(a\) is the base and \(b\) is the
exponent. |
| Logarithms | Logarithms are the inverse of
exponentiation. They represent the power to which a base
must be raised to obtain a certain value. | \(\log_a(x) = b\)
means \(a^b = x\) |
| Permutations | Permutations refer to the number of
arrangements of a set of items, considering order. |
\(P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}\), where \(n\) is the total items
and \(r\) is the number of items to arrange. |
| Combinations | Combinations represent the number of
ways to choose a subset from a set, without considering order.
| \(C(n, r) = \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}\), where \(n\) is the total
items and \(r\) is the number of items to choose. |
| Series | A series is the sum of the terms of a
sequence. It can be an arithmetic series or a geometric series.
| Sum of Arithmetic Series: \(S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n -
1)d)\) for an arithmetic series. Sum of Geometric Series: \(S_n
= \frac{a(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}\) for a geometric series. |
Understanding these concepts and their associated formulas is
crucial for numerical computation and estimation in various
mathematical problems and applications.

1.2.3 MENSURATION AND GEOMENTRY

Sure, let's explain mensuration and geometry, including their

key concepts and aspects.

### Mensuration:
Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the
measurement of geometric figures and their parameters like
area, volume, perimeter, surface area, and more. It's essential
in various real-world applications, including architecture,
engineering, physics, and everyday life.

Key Concepts in Mensuration:

1. **Area:**
- **Rectangle:** Area = Length * Width
- **Triangle:** Area = (1/2) * Base * Height
- **Circle:** Area = π * Radius²

2. **Perimeter:**
- **Rectangle:** Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
- **Triangle:** Perimeter = Sum of all sides
- **Circle:** Perimeter = 2 * π * Radius

3. **Volume:**
 - **Cube:** Volume = Side³
- **Cylinder:** Volume = π * Radius² * Height
- **Sphere:** Volume = (4/3) * π * Radius³

4. **Surface Area:**
- **Cube:** Surface Area = 6 * (Side²)
- **Cylinder:** Surface Area = 2 * π * Radius * (Radius +
Height)
- **Sphere:** Surface Area = 4 * π * Radius²

### Geometry:
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that focuses on the
properties and relationships of shapes, sizes, and properties of
space. It's vital for understanding spatial relationships and is
extensively used in various fields, including architecture,
engineering, art, and physics.

Key Concepts in Geometry:

1. **Points, Lines, and Angles:**

- **Point:** Represents a position, often denoted by a dot.
- **Line:** Straight path connecting two points.
- **Angle:** The measure of rotation needed to bring one
line to coincide with another.

2. **Polygons:**
- **Triangle:** 3-sided polygon.
- **Quadrilateral:** 4-sided polygon (e.g., square,
rectangle, etc.).
 - **Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon:** 5, 6, 8-sided polygons,
respectively.

3. **Circles:**
- **Radius:** Distance from the center to any point on the
circle.
- **Diameter:** Twice the radius.
- **Circumference:** The perimeter of the circle.

4. **Transformations:**
- **Translation:** Moving a shape without changing its size
or orientation.
- **Rotation:** Turning a shape around a point.
- **Reflection:** Flipping a shape over a line to create a
mirror image.

Understanding these key concepts in mensuration and

geometry is crucial for solving problems related to
measurements, spatial relationships, and shapes in a wide
range of applications.

1.2.3 ELEMENTARY STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

Of course! Let's explain elementary statistics and probability

concepts in a table format, providing a brief explanation of
each concept and relevant formulas:

| Concept | Explanation
| Formulas
| Mean | Mean is the average of a set of numbers.
| \( \text{Mean} (\bar{x}) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i
\) |
| Median | Median is the middle value of a set of
numbers when arranged in order. | If \( n \) is odd: Median = \(
x_{\frac{n+1}{2}} \) If \( n \) is even: Median = \(
\frac{x_{\frac{n}{2}} + x_{\frac{n}{2}+1}}{2} \) |
| Mode | Mode is the value that appears most
frequently in a set of numbers. | Mode is the value with the
highest frequency. |
| Range | Range is the difference between the
maximum and minimum values in a set of numbers. | \(
\text{Range} = \text{Maximum Value} - \text{Minimum
Value} \) |
| Standard Deviation | Standard deviation measures the
amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. | \( \sigma
= \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2} \)
|
| Variance | Variance is a measure of how spread out
the numbers in a data set are. | \( \text{Variance} (\sigma^2) =
\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}(x_i - \bar{x})^2 \)
|
| Probability | Probability measures the likelihood of an
event occurring. | \( P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of
favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total possible outcomes}} \)
|
| Probability of Events | Probability of events A and B can be
calculated using formulas like addition rule, multiplication
rule, and conditional probability. | Addition Rule: \( P(A \cup
B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \) Multiplication Rule: \( P(A
\cap B) = P(A) \times P(B|A) \) |
| Permutations | Permutations are arrangements of objects
in a specific order. | \( P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!} \)
|
| Combinations | Combinations are selections of objects
without considering the order. | \( C(n, r) = \frac{n!}{r! (n -
r)!} \) |

Understanding these concepts and associated formulas is

essential for working with elementary statistics and
probability, which are fundamental in various fields including
mathematics, statistics, data analysis, and more.
