Q. 5. Let’s practise speaking in English. Some sentences are missing in the conversation below. Complete the following conversation with your own sentences. Then in groups, do a rule play, where each of you will take one role and take part in a conversation.

Meera: …………………………………………………..

Ans: Meera: You know what! I saw the most beautiful little girl on my way to school to-day.

Ranil: Ranil Do you know her?

Asha: Why didn’t you bring her with you?

Meera: Wait, wait! I’m telling you one thing at a time! I saw her in the school way. I know nothing about her. I said Hi to her.

Asha: And then? What did she say?

Ranil: But, you should ask her name?

Adnan: Oh, what did she say?

Meera: She smiled at me and walked away.

Q. 6. Let’s learn some grammar:

(a) In the story you came across the words happy, angry and beautiful. Each of these words tells us something about the related noun e.g. a beautiful child. Here the word beautiful describes the quality of the child. Such words that describe the quality of something or someone are called adjectives.

Note that adjectives have three degrees of comparison positive, comparative and superlative.

(i) Positive degree : Tomorrow each of us will bring a child whom we find beautiful. In this sentence the adjective describes the quality of one person. 

(ii) Comparative degree : There is no child more beautiful than my grandson. In this sentence, the adjective is used to compare one child with another.

(iii) Superlative degree : I have found a child who is the most beautiful child in the entire village.

The adjective in this sentence compares one child with all other children. We can arrange adjectives in their degrees as shown in the columns below. 

When the adjective has more than two syllables (i.c when the word is longer) we use more + adjective in the comparative and most+adjective in the superlative degrees.

When the adjective is a short word we add er in the comparative and est in the superlative degree.

Note that when the adjective ends in ‘y’ we change it into ‘i’ before adding ‘er’. There are a very small number of adjectives outside this rule.

(b) Let’s practise using adjectives of degree and see how much you remember.

Fill in the columns below with the correct forms of the adjective.

Ans :

(c) Now in your notebook, make three sentences using an adjective from each of the three columns.

Ans : 1. Ugly: The shoes become ugly due to rain.

Uglier: Rony shoes were uglier than shree.

Ugliest: This is the ugliest design I have ever seen.

2. Angry: She is angry with me.

Angrier: She told me our maths teacher is angrier person.

Angriest: He is the angriest among us.

3. Big: The tree is big.

Bigger: There is no bigger tree than these.

Biggest: I saw the biggest tree in the park.

4. Dirty: The hands are dirty.

Dirtier: If you don’t wash your clothes it will become dirtier.

Dirtirest: This is the dirtiest wall. 

Q. 7. Let’s come back to clauses. You have learned that a clause is a group of words that contains a verb that shows tense. The verb which shows tense is called a finite verb.

(a) Look at the following sentences :

(i) The child’s mother overheard Akbar.

(ii) Akbar became angry when he heard this.

Notice that the whole sentence in (i) has been underlined as a group of words whereas sentence (i) has been under- lined as two groups of words. The underlined parts are called Clauses.

(b) Read the following sentences. Identify the subject and the finite verb in each clause in the sentences. Write ‘S’ under the subject and ‘F’ under the finite verb.

(i) He plays cricket for the school team.

(ii) Rita will not come today because she has gone to town.

(iii) She took the umbrella as it was raining.

(iv) I forgot to bring my book.

(v) Ron was reading a novel when I came to his house.

Ans : (i) He plays cricket for the school team.

(ii) Rita will not come today because she has gone to town.

(iii) She took the umbrella as it was raining.

(iv) I   forgot to bring my book.

(v) Ron was reading a novel when I came to his house.

The predicate contains the finite verb which may be followed by phrases. But it may not always be so. Sometimes the predicate may just be a one-word verb. For ex- ample. :

The child cried.

In this sentence, ‘The child’ is the subject. The predicate contains only the finite verb ‘cried’. Here the sentence is made up of one clause.

A clause may be a sentence of a part of sentence. Now, look at the sentence (i) and sentence (ii) again.

(i) The child’s mother overheard Akbar.

(ii) Akbar became angry when he heard this.

You might have noticed that sentence (i) is formed with one clause whereas sentence (ii) is formed with two clauses.

(c) Underline the clause in the following sentence.

(i) Whoever came to this house was chased by that dog.

(ii) After the man came, the boy closed the library door.

(iii) Swimming is my favourite summer time activity.

(iv) The bananas look ripe but they are not ready to be eaten.

(v) she ate an apple from the basket.

Ans : (i) Whoever came to this house was chased by that dog.

(ii) After the man came, the boy closed the library door.

(iii) Swimming is my favourite summer time activity.

(iv) The bananas look ripe but they are not ready to be eaten.

(v) She ate an apple from the basket.

Q. 8. Learning how to debate :

Your teacher will divide the class into four groups and ask each group to read the following content that explains what a debate is and the rules of debate.

Ans : Do Yourself.

Q. 9. Write a short paragraph on what you understand from the following statement-‘ All children seem beautiful to their parents.’

Ans : It is a natural fact that every parent loves their children. Even when others consider a child to be ugly, the parents get angry and consider their child to be beautiful. There are so disabled or specially abled children. It’s not just about how their kids look, but how they are as people. Parents love their children a lot and see them as special and amazing, no matter what others might think. It’s all about the strong connection between parents and their kids, built on love and pride.

10. Read the conversation below. Some of the sentences are missing. Write to them and enact the conversation in the class.:

Akbar : Look, how beautiful my grandson is!

Minister : Yes, Huzur, there is no child more beautiful than your grandson.

Birbal : The young prince is very beautiful, but …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Akbar : Then, let’s find out tomorrow.

Birbal : Sorry Huzur, the mother is refusing to let me bring the child to the court.

Birbal: (Pointing at the child playing on a heap of sand) Huzur, this is the child whom her mother refused to send with me for fear of casting evil eye on her child.

Akbar: Birbal? What do you say? In God’s name, I have never seen such an ugly child in my life.

(The mother of the child got angry and replied, ” Akbar, how dare you, call my child ugly. He is the most beautiful child God could have given me.)

Birbal: All children are beautiful to their parents.

Akbar: Yes, you are right Birbal.
