Direct Speech

Direct Speech

When you want to report in the same way what somebody has told you or what you have heard somebody saying, you use what is called direct speech.

Examples :

The words in the inverted commas are the exact words of the speakers. They can be written as -

  • The teacher said," Reading is fun."
  • Grandfather said,"We must plant trees."

In direct speech, the words of the speaker appear within the punctuation marks called quotation marks or inverted commas ("...").

Punctuation

Punctuation

Punctuation is a set of symbols used in writing to help a person read sentences better. They are everything in written language other than the actual letters or numbers.

The following are the principal punctuation marks :
ACapital Letter
,Comma
.Full Stop
?Question Mark
!Exclamation Mark
A Capital Letter

We always start a sentence with a capital letter.

Example :
He goes to play.

All proper nouns start with capital letter.
She met Jack in Delhi.


A word I is always written in capital letter.
Rohit and I go to school daily.

, Comma

In a sentence with a list of things, we use commas between the words in the list.
Examples :
I read, draw, write and play in the school.
We bought pencils, books and crayons from the shop.

. Fullstop

We use a fullstop (.) at the end of a statement.
Examples :
Ravi goes to market.
She does not study well.

? Question Mark

The question mark is placed at the end of a question.
Examples :
Where do you live.
Do you know how to play cricket?

! Exclamation Mark

The mark of exclamation is placed at the end of a sentence or with a exclamation word that expresses a strong feeling.
Examples :
How beautiful the scenery is!
Well done!
Bravo! Well hit.

Parts of Sentence

Parts of Sentences

A sentence has two parts - a naming part is called the subject and an action part is called the predicate.

Ravi is playing.

In the sentence given above :
  • Ravi is the subject or the naming part. (It tells us what the sentence is about.)
  • is playing is the predicate or the action part. (It tells us something about the subject.)

Sentences

Sentences

A group of words that makes a complete sense is called a sentence.

A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.) or a question mark (?).

A sentence must have a certain order of words.

Read the following sets of words :
  • English teacher she is my
  • he honest hardworking is and
  • Postman letters us bring for

The above sets of words are jumbled words, so they do not make any sense.

Now, read the same sets of words arranged in their proper order :

  • She is my English teacher.
  • He is honest and hardworking.
  • Postman brings letters for us.

Types of sentences

A sentence that says or states something is called a statement. It ends with a full stop (.).

A sentence that asks something is called a question. It ends with a question mark (?).

We use an exclamation mark (!) after words/sentences which ahow anger, surprise, sadness or happiness.

Examples:
  • Alas! The king is dead. (sorrow)
  • Hurrah! We have won. (happiness)

A sentence that expresses a strong sudden feeling is called an exclamatory sentence.

Example:
  • How lovely the flower is!

Articles

Articles

A, an and the are articles.

We use an before words starting with a vowel sound.

We use a before words starting with a consonant sound.

The is called a definite article. It is used with a particular person, animal or thing.

Examples :
  • The man in green shirt is my uncle.
  • Who ate the cake?

We usually do not use 'the' before names of villages, towns, cities and countries.

  • I had an umbrella.
  • I have a glass.
  • The sun is shining.
Now, let us look at the different uses of the :
Use of 'the'Examples
We use the when we talk or write about things that are only one of a kind.the sun
the earth
We use the with special popular names.the Taj Mahal
We use a or an when we talk of a thing for the first time. But when we talk of that particular or definite thing again, we use the.I have an orange in my basket. I want to eat the orange.

Examples :

  • She played football.
  • He will sleep.
Tenses are three - Present, Past and Future.
  • Simple present tense expresses present action that we almost do daily as a habit. We use first form of the verb in this tense. In above example - I eat porridge, 'eat' is the first form of the verb that shows, the sentence expresses 'Present time'.
  • Simple past tense expresses past action. Second form of the base form is used. In the above sentence ' She played football', ' played' is the second form of the verb 'play'. 'Played' denotes past time.
  • Simple future tense expresses future action. 'Will + first form of the verb' together do this job. In the third sentence - He will sleep, 'will sleep' shows that this sentence is used for future action.

Here, the ant, the sparrow and the cat are comparing their sizes :

  • I am bigger than you.
  • But I am the biggest.

The ant, the sparrow and the cat use the adjective big to compare each other.

Adjectives have three degrees of camparison.
  • The adjective big is in the positive degree. We use it when no comparison is made.
    For example :
    • I am a big ant.
    • Jaya is a tall girl.
  • The adjective bigger is in the comparative degree. We use it when two persons, animals or things are compared. We use than with this degree.
    For example :
    • I am bigger than you.
    • Sarah is taller than Jaya.
  • The adjective biggest is the superlative degree. We use it when more than two persons, animals or things are compared. We use the with the adjective.
    For example :
    • But I am the biggest.
    • Aria is the tallest in the class.

Here are some degrees of comparison of adjectives :
