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 FR

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.

*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. V. MAHENDIRAN MIMSE NAGAPATTINAM

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.

Transitivity of verbs are classified as Transitive, Intransitive and Absolute Intransitive. --------------- A verb which takes an object in a sentence means transitive verb. "I WRITE A LETTER " " SHE RUNS MANY COMPANIES ACROSS THE WORLD " " HE WALKS HIS BABY FIRST TIME" "THE NURSE SAT THE PATIENT ON A CUSHION CHAIR. *************** Any verb which doesn't take an object in a sentence for a situation means intransitive verb. " SHE CAN WRITE FAST" (so, Give this work to her.) " SHE RUNS SLOWLY" (so, she won't win in the race.) "WHERE DO YOU WALK TO SO FAST? " " THE PATIENT SAT ON THE CHAIR HIMSELF" *************** Some verbs can never take an object at any situation. They are called Absolute Intransitive verb. GO, COME and a few are in this case. *************** V. MAHENDIRAN MAHENDIRAA INSTITUTE OF MUTUAL SPOKEN ENGLISH NAGAPATTINAM TAMILNADU-INDIA
