Satyendranath, Machilipatnam.
1. The forms are the same when 'be' is used as
an ordinary verb - Explain the meaning of
the above underlined.
A: Am, is, are, shall be, should be, etc., have
been, has been, had been - These can be
used both as main and auxiliary verbs and
the forms of these verbs are the same both
when they are used as main/ auxiliary
verbs:
i) I am an Indian (Am - Main verb).
ii) I am going home (Am - Auxiliary Verb).
"Am" remains the same both as a main verb
[in (i)], and as an auxiliary verb [in (ii)].
2. "Where shall I put it, sir?", he asked (DS) -
He asked where he was to put it (IDS) - The
above (i.e. both DS and IDS) are given in
Oxford Grammar book - Are they (DS,
IDS) correct? And comma is also not given
after the word sir. And also shouldn't the
underlined be capital? - Explain.
A: He asked me politely where he should
put it.
'He asked me where he was to put it', is
correct too.
'S' need not be in capital if you use it in the
middle of a sentence.
The underlined word should not be in capital.

iii) If you see him, give him a message / If

v) Have you meal? / Have you lunch? -
Which is correct?
A: I. i) Both are correct.
ii) I am going home. No 'to' before 'home'
almost wherever it is used.
iii) Both are right, depending on whether the

particular message (the).
iv) They have 'interest' is correct.
v) Meal = lunch/ dinner/ supper.
Lunch = Afternoon meal.
Q: II. Say the differences.
i) Read/ Study ii) Cry/ weep
iii) Talk / Speak iv) Right / Correct
v) Told / Said vi) Advice / Advise
A: II. i) We read only for information.
We study for learning and knowledge.
ii) Cry = 1. Weep 2. Shout.
Weep means only to cry in sadness.
iii) This has been explained a number of
times. Refer to the old lessons. Still for
your ready reference it is being explained.
Talk = Speak to share give or get information,
ideas or feelings. It is often
informal.
Speak = To talk about some -
thing important 'speak' is
more formal than 'talk'.
iv) Right = correct.
v) Say something to someone.
Say is always followed by
to + somebody, except when it is
followed by 'so/ yes/ no'. It is also
followed by a 'that' clause.
a) She said, 'yes/ no/ so/ that'.
b) She says that she knows my sis-
ter. (Says + clause beginning with 'that'.)

Q: III. i) An year / a year
ii) An yeast / A yeast.
A: III. i) An year - Wrong. A year - Correct.
(Year- ... . .. is not a vowel
sound). ear - .. . . is a vowel sound
- so an ear.
ii) 'Yeast' is uncountable usually, so 'a' is not
used before it. 'An' is out of the question.

Nivedita,
Eluru.
Q: i) I explained the matter
to him.
ii) I suggested to him to buy
the house - Are the above
ones correct?
A: i) Correct.
ii) Wrong. 'Suggest' is always fol-
lowed by a 'that' clause - that is, a
clause beginning with 'that', and
never by the infinitive.
The correct form is: I suggested (to
him) that he (should) buy the
house. 'Should' can be omitted.
Q: He says to me/ He tells me - Which one is
correct? What is the difference between
the above ones? Explain.

Raghuveer Chakra, Razole.
Q: I have found the following in the English
text book of 8th class. In some lessons
the first word is not started with a capi-
tal letter in quotations.
For Eg: "do you remember Amma?"
sun, moon, earth, world - The first let-
ters of the above aren't capital?
A: The first word in quotations always
begins with a capital letter. If you don't
find it so, it might be a printers mistake.
The line you have quoted should be 'Do
you remember Amma?'.
The first letters of sun, moon, earth,
world need not be in capitals.
