English Grammar
Lecture 01
Basic Knowledge:
English is international language. It is Pakistan’s official language.
There are total 26 alphabets (letters) in English language.
Alphabets have two types;
Consonants are 21 in numbers.
Vowels are 05 in numbers. (A, E, I, O, U)
Letters joined to make words. Combination of letters with no sense is called rubbish.
Word:
It is group of letters. For example Union, Apple, Aunt, Fan, Noun, Verb, etc
Phrase:
It is group of words having no subject-verb combination. It does not give complete sense of information.
Sound:
Consonants can produce 24 distinct sounds, whereas vowels can produce 20 different sounds.
Syllable:
"A part of a word that can be pronounced separately" is called Syllable. Two or more letters which have one vowel letter is called
one syllable for example Run, cat- e- go- ry (Category)
Sentence:
When we speak or write, we use words. We generally use these words in groups;
Example:
"Beautiful girl sat in a corner.
THE PHRASE AND THE CLAUSE:
PHRASE:
Examine the group of words “in a corner”. It makes sense,but not complete sense. Such a group of words is called a

"There came a giant to my door."
"It was a sunset of great beauty."
"The tops of the mountains were covered with snow."
"Show me how to do it."
"He has a chain of gold."
Clause:
When a group of words forms part of a sentence and contains both a Subject and a Predicate, it's called a Clause.
Examples :
"People who pay their debts are trusted."
"We cannot start while it is raining."
"I think that you have made a mistake."

Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. In simple terms, an Adjective is a word
used with a noun to add to its meaning. The term "adjective" literally means "added to".
They can provide answers to questions such as:
"What kind?"
"Which one?"
"How many?"
"Howmuch?"
Examples:
Maryam is a clever girl. (What kind of girl?) 'Clever' describes the kind of girl Maryam is.
I don't like that boy. (Which boy?) 'That' points out which boy is referred to.
He gave me five mangoes. (How many mangoes?) 'Five' indicates the number of mangoes.
There is little time for preparation. (How much time?) 'Little' describes the amount of time available.
Usage of Adjectives:
Adjectives can be used in two main ways:
1. Attributively: When the adjective is used directly with the noun to describe it.
Example: The lazy boy was punished.
2. Predicatively: When the adjective is used with a verb and forms part of the
sentence's predicate.
Example: The boy is lazy.
Types of Adjectives:
Descriptive Adjective: Describes qualities or characteristics. Example: red, beautiful, tall.
Demonstrative Adjective: Points to specific nouns. Example: this, that, these, those.
Possessive Adjective: Shows possession. Example: my, your, his, her.
Comparative Adjective: Compares two or more things. Example: faster, taller, smarter.
Superlative Adjective: Indicates the highest degree. Example: fastest, tallest, smartest.
Numeral Adjective: Represents a number. Example: one, two, first, second.
Interrogative Adjective: Used in questions. Example: which, what.
He is an honest man.
'Honest' describes the quality or character of the man.

Rules for Direct and Indirect Speech
1. Direct Speech:
The exact words of the speaker are quoted.
Example: Rama said, ‘I am very busy now.’
2. Indirect (or Reported) Speech:
The speaker's words are reported without quoting the exact words.
Example: Rama said that he was very busy then.
Key Points:
Direct Speech uses inverted commas to mark the exact words of the speaker, while Indirect Speech
does not.
There are certain changes when converting Direct to Indirect Speech:
i. Introduction of conjunction "that" before the Indirect statement.
ii. Change in pronouns.
iii. Change in tense. iv. Change in adverbs.
Guidelines for Changing Tenses:
When the reporting or principal verb is in the Past Tense:
a. Simple present becomes a simple past. –
Direct: He said, ‘I am unwell.’
Indirect: He said (that) he was unwell.

Lecture 13
Voice in Grammar
Voice indicates the relationship between the subject and the verb in a sentence, specifically, who is doing the action
and who is receiving it. There are two primary voices in English grammar:
1. Active Voice
2. Passive Voice
1. Active Voice
In the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action.
Definition: When the verb indicates that the subject performs an action, it is in the Active Voice.
Example:
Ram eats an apple. (Here, "Ram" is the subject and he is the one doing the action of eating.)
2. Passive Voice
In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is acted upon or receives the action.
Definition: Passive Voice shows that an action is done to the subject.
Example:
An apple is eaten by Ram. (Here, "an apple" is the subject but it is not doing any action. Instead, it is being acted
upon by "Ram".)
