20 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) with Answers

1. What is a noun?
   A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Examples include “teacher,” “school,” and “happiness.”
2. What are transitive verbs?
   Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning, such as “She reads a book.”
3. What is the difference between active and passive voice?
   In active voice, the subject performs the action (e.g., “The dog chased the cat”). In passive voice, the subject receives the action (e.g., “The cat was chased by the dog”).
4. What are adjectives used for?
   Adjectives describe or modify nouns, giving more detail about them (e.g., “The tall building”).
5. What is the present continuous tense?
   The present continuous tense describes actions that are currently happening. It is formed with “to be” + verb ending in -ing (e.g., “She is reading”).
6. What is direct speech?
   Direct speech is when we quote someone’s exact words, usually enclosed in quotation marks (e.g., “He said, ‘I am happy'”).
7. How do we form the past perfect tense?
   The past perfect tense is formed using “had” + past participle (e.g., “She had finished her homework before dinner”).
8. What is a conjunction?
   A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., “and,” “but,” “or”).
9. What is an adjective clause?
   An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun, providing more information about it (e.g., “The book that I borrowed is interesting”).
10. What is indirect speech?
    Indirect speech reports what someone said without quoting them directly, often changing pronouns and tenses (e.g., “He said that he was tired”).
11. What are the main types of conjunctions?
    The main types of conjunctions are coordinating (e.g., “and,” “but”), subordinating (e.g., “because,” “although”), and correlative (e.g., “either…or”).
12. What does a verb express?
    A verb expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being (e.g., “run,” “exist,” “is”).
13. How do we identify a sentence in passive voice?
    A sentence is in passive voice if the subject receives the action, often indicated by the verb “to be” plus the past participle (e.g., “The cake was eaten”).
14. What are examples of adverbs?
    Examples of adverbs include “quickly,” “very,” “well,” and “silently,” which modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
15. What is the future tense?
    The future tense indicates actions that will happen, usually formed with “will” or “shall” plus the base form of the verb (e.g., “I will go”).
16. How do we change tenses in indirect speech?
    When converting to indirect speech, we often shift the tense back one step (e.g., present to past).
17. What is a declarative sentence?
    A declarative sentence states a fact or opinion and ends with a period (e.g., “The sky is blue.”).
18. What is a complex sentence?
    A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause (e.g., “Although it was raining, we went for a walk”).
19. What is a compound sentence?
    A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction (e.g., “I wanted to go, but I was too tired”).
20. What is a pronoun?
    A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence (e.g., “he,” “she,” “it”).
