FIRE WITHOUT ARTICLE - SPOKEN ENGLISH

Q: What is the difference between
assertive sentence and impera-
tive sentence? Please explain.
A: An assertive sentence is just a
statement a sentence which
says something 
Eg: a) The Eenadu is a Telugu
daily
b) Delhi is the capital of India

An imperative sentence is usually an
order, asking something, request, blessing,
etc. 
Eg: a) Shut the door.
b) Please come in.
c) May God bless you. etc.
Most often the subject of an imperative
sentence is 'you'. Shut the door = You shut
the door. Please come in = You please
Come in.
Q: Which sentence is correct? Please explain
both sentences.
1) When did they play yesterday?
2) When did they play?
A: 1) When did they play yesterday? At
what time did they play yesterday?
2) When did they play? = At what time
did they play (no day mentioned)

Q: Sir, కింది వాక్యాలను తెలుగులో వివరించి, వాటి
మధ్య తేడాలను తెలుపగలరు.
a) Shall go to movie.
b) Will go to movie.
A: These groups of words are not sentences
because... 1) They are meaningless. They
don't have subjects. 2) There must be 'a'
before movie.
Eg://We shall go to a movie - a future
action (not definite) (నేను మేము సిని
మాకు వెళ్తాం - అంత కచ్చితం కాదు..
* He/she/ The class (it) / They will go to
a movie a future action (not definite)
(ఆతడు సినిమాకు వెళ్తాడు / ఆమె ఆ క్లాస్ మొత్తం
సినిమాకు వెళ్తుంది - ఇవి కూడా కచ్చితం కాదు).

Q: The boy used to sit in the shade of the
tree. The tree loved him very / so much.
Which adverb is correct? Give reasons.
A: The tree loved him very much (British) -
The tree loved him so much (American) -
both are correct.

Q: When we change any sentence
(active voice) into passive
voice (or) vice versa. . Is there
any change in the meaning of
the sentence... (mainly sen-
tence containing to && to be)
Please clarify
A: When you change the voice, the
meaning should not change.
.
O: Please give de
noun phrases with underlines: where is
noun and where is noun phrase in different
tailed explanation about
sentences?
AxA phrase 1s a group ot words without a
verb. A noun phrase 1s a phrase doing the
work of a noun, that is, the subject ofa sen-
tence, the object of a verb, the object of a
preposiaon, etc.
Be: His going there caused all this trouble.
The subject of this sentence is the phrase
his going there. So it is a noun class.
t1 did not like his going there. Here 'His
going there' is a phrase and object of the
verb 'like' - so it is a noun clause too.
They laughed at his words 'His words' is a
phrase acting as the object of the preposi
tion, at. So it is a noun phrase.
The book, belonging to him, was lying on
the table- belonging to him is a phrase put
in apposition to the noun, the book - so it is
also a noun phrase.
These are the exanples of noun phrases.

: Sir, please explain in which occasion we
will use the following words:
i)Was to be
ii.) Has to be.
iii) Have to be
A:i) Was to be = expected to be. He was to
be there = Somebody expected that he
would be there surely. (Past) 
He has to be = he must be 
l) I/We/ You/ They have to be = 1/ We /
You/ They must be.
