to mention ‘Michael’ again)

Seek Knowledge Page 13


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

 Subject Pronouns
 Object Pronouns
 Possessive Pronouns
 Reflexive Pronouns
 Intensive Pronouns
 Relative Pronouns
 Demonstrative Pronouns
 Interrogative Pronouns

 Subject Pronouns
Subject pronouns work as the subject of the verb in a sentence. A subject pronoun
normally replaces the subject/object (a noun) of the previous sentence.

Example:
o Mike can’t attend the party. He has gone to his grandparents.
o Marta is a good storyteller. She told a ghost story that scared everyone.
o Julie made some cakes. They look tasty. (Here, the subject pronoun replaced
the object of the previous sentence)
More Examples of Subject Pronoun

 Object Pronouns:
Object pronouns work as the object or indirect object in a sentence replacing the
antecedent object.
Example:
o I’ll give you a present on your birthday.
o Tell her that you’ll take the job.
o I have a gift for your boss. Give it to your boss. (Here, ‘it’works as an object)

 Possessive Pronouns:
Possessive pronouns replace the nouns of the possessive adjectives: my, our, your,
her, his, their. The possessive pronouns are mine, ours, yours, hers, his, its, theirs.
The pronoun ‘who’ also has a possessive form, whose.

Example:
o I thought my bag was lost, but the one Kesrick found was mine. (Here, ‘mine’
refers to ‘my bag’)
o Their vacation will start next week. Ours is tomorrow. (Here, ‘ours’ refers to
‘our vacation’
o Those four suitcases are ours.
o Is this yours?

Seek Knowledge Page 14


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

You have to take either her car or theirs. Hers is better than theirs. (Here, ‘her’ is
possessive adjective and ‘hers’ and ‘theirs’ are possessive pronouns which replaced
‘her car’ and ‘their car’)

 Reflexive Pronouns:
Reflexive pronoun redirects a sentence or a clause back to the subject, which is also
the direct object of that sentence. A reflexive pronoun comes when the subject
performs its action upon itself. Here, ‘itself’ is a reflexive pronoun.
Example:
o Since she is her own boss, she gave herself a raise. (Here, ‘herself’ is the direct
object of the clause and the same person is the subject)
o She allowed herself more time to get ready.
o The computer restarts itself every night.
o We told ourselves that we were so lucky to be alive.

 Intensive Pronouns:
Intensive pronouns add emphasis/importance but do not act as the object in the
sentence. They can appear right after the subject.
Example:
o I will do it myself. (Here, ‘myself’ is not an object)
o I myself saw the missing boat into the harbor.
o We intend to do all the work ourselves.
o You yourselves are responsible for this mess.

 Relative Pronouns:
Relative pronouns introduce the relative clause. They are used to make clear what is
being talked about in a sentence. They describe something more about the subject or
the object.
They also do the work of conjunction as well as pronoun.

The relative pronouns are:

Subject Object Possession Uncertainty

Which Which Whose

Seek Knowledge Page 15


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

That That

Who Whom Whose

Example:
o The car that was stolen was the one they loved most.
o A person who loves nature is a good person.
o Our school, which was founded in 1995, is being renovated.
o I will accept whichever party dress you buy me on Valentine's Day.
o Whoever you are behind this great initiative, I want to thank you.
o I am what you are not.

 Demonstrative Pronouns:

It is also used to point out, Person, Place, Thing.


Demonstrative pronouns normally indicate the closeness of or distance from the
speaker, either literally or symbolically. This, these, that, and those are the
demonstrative pronouns. They also work as demonstrative adjectives when they
modify a noun. However, demonstrative pronouns do not modify anything rather
replace the nouns/noun phrases.
Sometimes neither, none and such are also used as demonstrative pronouns.
Example:
o That is a long way to go. (demonstrative pronoun)
o This is my car. (demonstrative pronoun)
o Hand me that cricket bat. (demonstrative adjective)
o Neither is permitted to enter the building.
o Such are ways of life.

 Interrogative Pronouns:
Interrogative pronouns produce questions. They are what, which, who, whom,
and whose.
Who, whom, and whose refer to questions related to a person or animal; what refers
to an idea, object, or event; and which can indicate either a person/s or a thing/s.
Example:
o What was the name of your dog?
o Which is your favorite movie?

o Whom do you prefer in this competition?

The simple present tense is one of several forms of present tense in English. It is used to
describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

The simple present tense is simple to form. Just use the base form of the verb: (I take, you take,
we take, they take)

Note: the 3rd person singular takes an -s at the end. (he takes, she takes).

Examples

 For habits
He drinks tea at breakfast.
She only eats fish.
They watch television regularly.

Seek Knowledge Page 50


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

 For repeated actions or events


We catch the bus every morning.
It rains every afternoon in the hot season.
They drive to Monaco every summer.
 For general truths
Water freezes at zero degrees.
The Earth revolves around the Sun.
Her mother is Peruvian.
 For instructions or directions
Open the packet and pour the contents into hot water.
You take the No.6 bus to Watney and then the No.10 to Bedford.
 For fixed arrangements
His mother arrives tomorrow.
Our holiday starts on the 26th March
 With future constructions
She'll see you before she leaves.
We'll give it to her when she arrives.

Forming the simple present tense:

Affirmative Interrogative Negative

I think Do I think? I do not think

You think Do you think? You do not think

He thinks Does he think? He does not think

She thinks Does she think? She does not think

Seek Knowledge Page 51


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

Affirmative Interrogative Negative

It thinks Does it think? It does not think

We think Do we think? We do not think.

Notes on the simple present, third person singular

 In the third person singular the verb always ends in -s:


he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.
 Negative and question forms use DOES (= the third person of the auxiliary 'DO') + the
infinitive of the verb.
He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla.
 Verbs ending in -y : the third person changes the -y to -ies:
fly --> flies, cry --> cries
Exception: if there is a vowel before the -y:
play --> plays, pray --> prays
 Add -es to verbs ending in:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch:
he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes

Examples

 He goes to school every morning.


 She understands English.
 It mixes the sand and the water.
 He tries very hard.
 She enjoys playing the piano.

 Present Continuous Tense:


Present continuous tense expresses the ongoing action or task of the present. It is also
called present progressive tense. For example, I am eating the meal.

 Present Perfect Continuous:

USE 1 Duration from the Past Until Now

We use the present perfect continuous to show that something started in the past and
has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are
all durations which can be used with the present perfect continuous.

Examples:

 They have been talking for the last hour.


 She has been working at that company for three years.
 What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes?
 James has been teaching at the university since June.
 We have been waiting here for over two hours!
 Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?

USE 2 Recently, Lately

You can also use the present perfect continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for two
weeks." Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We

Past perfect tense

Functions of the past perfect

The past perfect refers to a time earlier than before now. It is used to make it clear that one
event happened before another in the past. It does not matter which event is mentioned first -
the tense makes it clear which one happened first.

In these examples, Event A is the event that happened first and Event B is the second or more
recent event:

Event A Event B

John had gone out when I arrived in the office.

Event A Event B

I had saved my document before the computer crashed.

Forming the past perfect

The Past Perfect tense in English is composed of two parts: the past tense of the verb to have
(had) + the past participle of the main verb.

Affirmative Negative Interrogative

'Just' is used with the past perfect to refer to an event that was only a short time earlier than
before now, e.g.

 The train had just left when I arrived at the station.


 She had just left the room when the police arrived.
 I had just put the washing out when it started to rain.

 Articals

Using Indefinite Article: a & an


Rule 1:
A common noun in the singular number always requires an article before it. But a
plural common noun does not require an article always. A plural common noun can
have the article ‘the’ if we want to particularise that noun.
Example:
o I saw a snake. (Refers to a random snake)
o I saw snakes in a zoo. (No article is required)
o I have seen the snake again. (Refers to the snake I have already seen earlier)
o I have seen the snakes again before leaving the zoo. (Refers to the particular
snakes of the zoo which I saw earlier.)
Rule 2:
The choice between the two indefinite articles – a & an – is determined by sound.
Words beginning with consonant sounds precede ‘a’ and words beginning with vowel
sounds precede ‘an’. There are some special cases also. For instance,
o a university, a union, a useful book, etc.
o a one-dollar note, a one-man army, etc.
o an MA, a BA, an LLB, a BSC, etc.
o
Rule 3:

Seek Knowledge Page 71


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

A or an - sometimes makes a Proper Noun a Common Noun. Proper nouns generally do


not take any articles, but when a proper noun needs to be used as a common noun,
you must bring a or an - for it.
Example:
o He thinks he is a Shakespeare. (Here, ‘Shakespeare’ does not refer to the
actual person but someone like him.)
o He seems to be an Australian. (‘Australia’ is a proper noun but ‘Australian’ is a
common noun because there is only one Australia but a million of Australians.)
o
Rule 4:

Sometimes indefinite articles are used to refer the number ‘one’/’each’/’per’.

Example:
o I earned a thousand dollar in that job. (One thousand dollar)
o I have a car. (One car)
o It goes 50 miles an hour. (Per Hour)
Rule 5:
Indefinite articles often precede descriptive adjectives.
Example:
o He is a good boy.
o What a nice car!

Rule 6:
‘A’ sometimes comes before determiners, for example, a few, a little, a lot of, a
most, etc. but in the case of many, a or an - comes after.
Example:
o I have a few friends coming over.
o There is a little milk in the jar.
o Many a fan welcomed

Using Definite Article: the


Rule 1:
‘The’ is used to indicate a particular person(s) or thing(s) in the case of common
nouns. Proper nouns generally do not take an article.
Example:
o The man is running. (A particular man)
o I saw the boy stealing.
o Where is the pen I gave you last year?
o I gave him a ball, but he lost the ball. (‘a ball’ became ‘the ball’ in the second
clause because that ball was not a random ball anymore.)
o
Rule 2:

Seek Knowledge Page 72


The Dynamic Thoughts Academy

Sometimes ‘the’ is used to generalize a group/whole class.


Example:
o The dog is a faithful animal. (Refers to the whole species of dog.)
o The English are industrious. (Refers to the people of England as a nation)
o The honest are respected. (The+adjectives = plural noun)
o The poor are not always dishonest. (The+adjectives = plural noun)
Rule 3:

To particularise a non-count noun ‘the’ is required before it.

Example:
o The water of the Arctic ocean is freezing.
o Please return the money I lent you last year.
Rule 4:

‘The’ is mandatory before a thing which is only one of a kind in the universe.

Example:
o The moon is shining tonight.
o The earth is moving around the sun.
Use of ‘the’ before geographical places :
Rule 5:
Using ‘the’ with geographical nouns generally depends on the size and plurality of the
things those nouns refer to. ‘The’ is generally used everywhere except some cases.
So, it’s better to know those exceptions first.
‘The’ must not precede:
o Names of continents: Asia, Europe, Australia, Africa, South America, North
America, Antarctica.
o Names of countries: Australia, Bolivia, England, France, Spain, etc.
o Names of states, cities, or towns: Los Angeles, Alaska, Sydney, London,
o Names of streets: George street, Albion Street, New town street,
o Names of singular lakes and bays: Lake Carey, Lake Eyre, Lake Hillier, Shark
Bay,
o Names of single mountains: Mount Everest, Mount Solitary, Mount Bindo,
Mount Fuji, etc.
o Names of single islands: Easter Island, Bare Island, Bird Island, Fatima Island,
o Names of languages: Spanish, Russian, English, (When ‘the’ precedes these
nouns, they refer to the population of those languages.)
o Names of sports: cricket, football, basketball,
o Names of discipline/subject of studies: biology, history, computer science,
mathematics,
Punctuation

How to Use “Used To” in English


We can use “used to” to talk about a past habit or state.

An example for a state: “He used to live in London” (but he doesn’t now)

Be + used to + doing

There’s a big difference between used to do – to talk about past habits or states and is
used to doing – to talk about our familiarity with a place, or activity.
The form is subject + verb to be + used to + verb in the ing form / noun

“I am / was used to studying English every day.”


“I am used to his jokes.” (example with a noun)

Modal verbs

The modal verbs include can, must, may, might, will, would, should. They
are used with other verbs to express ability, obligation, possibility, and so
on. Below is a list showing the most useful modals and their most common
meanings:

Use Of Can

Modal verbs are a type of auxiliary verb which expresses the mood of another verb.

‫موڈل فعل معاون فعل کا ایک قسم ہیں جو کسی اور فعل کا موڈ بیان کرتا ہے‬

They are used to express ideas such as possibility, prediction,


speculation, deduction, and necessity.

Double Object:

When the verb of a sentence is playing the role of both the direct object and the indirect object
it is termed as double object.

Example:

I gave the girl her ball.

She asks me money.

In the above sentence example, the girl is the direct object whereas her ball is
the indirect object. As both the direct and indirect objects of the sentences are represented by
the single verb gave, it is known as double object.

Active voice / Passive voice

Active voice:

In the active voice the subject does something or in the other words, is the doer of an action

Example Aslam writes letters.

Passive Voice:
In the active voice the subject is not active but passive that suffer or receives some action.

Example: A letter is written by Aslam.

Subject verb object


Asla writes a letter.

What is Direct & Indirect Speech?


Direct speech – reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by him.
Direct speech example: Maya said ‘I am busy now’.
Indirect speech: reporting the message of the speaker in our own words
Indirect speech example: Maya said that she was busy then.

Direct And Indirect Speech Rules

Rule 1 – Direct To Indirect Speech Conversion – Reporting Verb

1. When the reporting verb of direct speech is in past tense then all the present tenses are
changed to the corresponding past tense in indirect speech.

Direct to indirect speech example:


Direct: She said, ‘I am happy’.
Indirect: She said (that) she was happy.

1. In indirect speech, tenses do not change if the words used within the quotes (‘’) talk of a
habitual action or universal truth.

Direct to indirect speech example:


Direct: He said, ‘We cannot live without air’.
Indirect: He said that we cannot live without air.

1. The tenses of direct speech do not change if the reporting verb is in the future
tense or present tense.

Direct to indirect speech example:


Direct: She says/will say, ‘I am going’
Indirect: She says/will say she is going.

Rule 2 – Direct Speech to Indirect Speech conversion – Present Tense

should be if or whether.

Science:

is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and
the laws of nature with thorough experiment and practical observation. Science is divided into
three branches: Natural sciences, Social sciences, Formal sciences.

When we talk about Science, it is a broad subject of discussion. It was what helps human beings
to mold this present world into we live in. Science has helped a lot in human development, and
it’s even the key to human developments.

Science has brought so many of the things in the purview of rational understanding and
explanation.
Science and rationality
Science has made it possible to find an explanation for most things that take place around us. In
ancient times, people were being taken advantage of their ignorance by those who had even a bit
of grasp over the laws of science. People’s fears were manipulated into an advantage for the
unscrupulous elements. Science has largely eliminated that harassment.
Science and information
Science has made information so easy that it is realistically available at one’s fingertips. It is
easily exchanged within seconds and globally available as well as accessible.
Blessings of Science

 The study of science helps to read, study and understand the earth and other planetary
bodies.
 The knowledge of science helps to study our planet earth. To know when and where
precipitation will occur, to study climate change, to predict, mitigate and escape natural
disasters, etc.

 It shapes the development of human being in many ways like innovations. Innovations
come about with the help of Science. Machines invented helps to carry out more tedious
work without consuming much time and energy. An invention of home appliances.
Fertilizers for farming and mechanization. Improvements in the health system. Weapon
and artilleries for the military. Advance learning system — dissemination of Information.
Conclusion
Science is one of the crucial aspects of human life. It creates immensely in our ways of life both
the natural and social sciences. It’s what help to shape the present world we live in. With the ease
that we move around in life today, what else can we call science but a blessing!
Global warming:
is the continuous depletion of the ozone layer, due to which there are continuous increasing
environmental issues all over the world.

Actually, global warming is the continuous rise in earth temperature, due to some greenhouse
gases like carbon dioxide, water vapours, nitrous oxide, methane etc. This rise of temperature
ultimately hurts the life of human beings, animals and plants. The main cause of global warming
is the greenhouse effect.

Apart from affecting human life it also affects almost every part of the world and also a cause of
a rise in sea level by melting of glaciers.

To control global warming we need to come as a global community and put every effort to
lower the level of global warming.
