STATEMENT PROMOTION - SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE - V. MAHENDIRAN

I have said many times in my previous posts that a learner must know the rules of voices, tenses and statements. 

It means, a sentence that may be framed in simple present tense/active voice /affirmative to be promoted in negative, regular interrogative against all compartments, specific interrogative (both positive and negative) and tag interrogative (both positive and negative) ON BOTH VOICES. 

This type of task is called STATEMENT PROMOTION ON BOTH VOICES. I titled myself, the same is trained to my students. 

This task should be done for all tenses. The sentence should be a transitive one, because only then one can do on both active and passive voices. 

First, students should be asked to write. Then to read the same extensively. Later, to speak the same without referring the notebook. However, students must not be tortured by giving any tough sentence in beginning. 

Should start from the simple present tense giving an easy structure, like, I WRITE A LETTER TO MY FRIEND. This is an affirmative,, active voice is well known, isn't it? 

Let's go for promotion in all applicable statements on both voices as said above.

Affirmative, Active and Passive. 

I WRITE A LETTER TO MY FRIEND. 

A LETTER IS WRITTEN BY ME TO MY FRIEND. 

Negative, Active and Passive. 

I DON'T WRITE A LETTER TO MY FRIEND. 

A LETTER ISN'T WRITTEN BY ME TO MY FRIEND. 

Regular interrogative against subject, Active and Passive. 

WHO DOES WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND?

BY WHOM IS A LETTER WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND? 

Regular interrogative against verb, Active and Passive. 

WHAT DO YOU DO A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND?

WHAT IS A LETTER DONE BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND? 

Regular interrogative against object, Active and Passive. 

WHAT DO YOU WRITE TO YOUR FRIEND?

WHAT IS WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND? 

Regular interrogative against indirect object or adjunct , Active and Passive. 

TO WHOM DO YOU WRITE A LETTER?

TO WHOM IS A LETTER WRITTEN BY YOU? 

Specific interrogative positive, Active and Passive. 

DO YOU WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND? 

IS A LETTER WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND? 

Specific interrogative negative, Active and Passive. 

DON'T YOU WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND? 

ISN'T A LETTER WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND? 

Tag interrogative positive, Active and Passive. 

YOU DO WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND,  DON'T YOU? 

A LETTER IS WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND, ISN'T IT? 

Specific interrogative negative, Active and Passive. 

YOU DON'T WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR FRIEND,  DO YOU? 

A LETTER ISN'T WRITTEN BY YOU TO YOUR FRIEND, IS IT? 

[NOTE

It's possible in all tenses. That will be seen later. 

This task may be used to read, study, practice to develop your grammar skills. 

NO PLAGIARISM AT ANY RESPECT IS ALLOWED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION / KNOWLEDGE AS IT IS MY OWN SCRIPT.]

English is a hybrid language. This is the reason that she looks hard and soft to learners.
Scandinavian and west Germanic are the parental ancestors of English.
English can be caught but not taught- is a familiar sentence, trainers must know it.
Grammar of this language is intellectual as she was made of several languages in structures.
There is no much difference between literate and colloquial forms in spoken English.
However, some rhythms are added on speaking.
She was born in England and spread across the world due to  various reasons.
Besides ENGLAND,
USA, CANADA, SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA and  NEW ZEALAND rule their offices in complete  English as a mother tongue. Also some rich lands in Europe continent are the  owners of English.
Besides Scandinavian and West Germanic, Latin, Spanish, French and Greek have blessed this language to be a first class language in the world.
In fact, seventy percent of words that you use today didn't exist in old English.
All were imported from several languages that were born anciently!
Because English is looking like a pretty tool for easy communication, she was beautified by many languages by words, rules and so on. 
Anything is seen at any language shall be in English.

*Missing the woods for the trees* What does it mean?

*Missing the woods for the trees* - is a familiar idiom in English.
(WOODS means FOREST)
It is meant in various ways.

It might mean, Horlicks manufacturer buys an half kg Horlicks bottle from a road side grocery shop. He is missing there his forest that is his godown but needs his product on road side.

In another angle, it could mean, As the trees are cut down one by one, forest loses its image.' Peter sold out his good business as he was in need of big money.

What does M. T. I. mean?

Mother tongue influence.
Shortly it is abbreviated as MTI.

What does it mean?
If you are not a native speaker of a language, (eg.English), when you handle English, your mother tongue will show its influence unfortunately. This intention is called M. T. I.

It's a sensitive situation to a non-native person of English. Can one be away from the influence of his Mother tongue?

In one way it is possible. If you think your ideas always in English, can be farther distance from thinking ideas in your mother tongue. But can't be without the influence of mother tongue.
Even if you think your ideas in your mother tongue, such ought to be done in  English dialect. This is the big task to one whose mother tongue is not  English.

This task can be cracked easily only by Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing activities.
Who does these activities as a routine work can be very good in English like a native speaker.

Above all, you must be very much interested to breathe English. Grammar is the rule of a language. So, Learning Grammar is very important to construct your ideas under the rule.

What does the idiom 'THE RUBBER HITS/MEETS THE ROAD mean?

In fact, this idiom is informally used by many in the world.

When a project or a process starts to function this idiom should be used.

Let's see some sentences.
---------------
I've bought a new car,  I'll come to its function WHEN IT HITS THE ROAD.

Dear passengers Greetings to all. Kindly fasten your seat belt as the rubber is going to hit the road.

All of you guys be alert where the rubber meets the road, only then we could determine our success.

WHAT as a relative pronoun.

Among all relative pronouns, WHAT is a different one.
WHAT can only be  used in noun clause if it is used as a relative pronoun, not in adjectival relative clause. In adjectival cases, THAT or WHICH is preferred.

Though it is the rule of Grammar, in spoken forms WHAT is widely used as a relative pronoun on adj relative clauses.

"I understand WHAT he says." ☑
"I understand the matter WHAT  he says." ❌
I understand the matter THAT he says."☑
