तुम क्या सीखोगे

नमस्ते! क्या तुम अपनी दुनिया को शब्दों में पिरोना चाहते हो? इस चैप्टर में हम सीखेंगे कि लोगों और चीजों की खूबियां कैसे बताई जाती हैं। सोचो, तुम किसी मॉल में शॉपिंग कर रहे हो और तुम्हें कहना है कि «यह लाल शर्ट उस नीली शर्ट से ज़्यादा अच्छी है», या किसी दोस्त को बताना है कि «तुम हमेशा बहुत जल्दी काम खत्म करते हो»—ये सब तुम यहाँ बहुत आसानी से सीखोगे। सबसे पहले, हम 'Adjectives' का इस्तेमाल सीखेंगे जैसे 'a big house' या 'a happy girl'। याद रखना, इंग्लिश में ये शब्द हमेशा नाम (noun) से पहले आते हैं। इसके बाद हम 'Adverbs' के बारे में जानेंगे—जैसे कोई काम कितनी बार होता है (Always, Never) या कैसे होता है (Slowly, Quickly)। इतना ही नहीं, तुम दो चीजों की तुलना करना भी सीखोगे (Comparative) और यह भी बताना कि सबसे बेहतरीन क्या है (Superlative)। जैसे 'The oldest' या 'The most important'। इस चैप्टर के अंत तक, तुम न सिर्फ लोगों और चीजों का वर्णन कर पाओगे, बल्कि अपनी पसंद-नापसंद और आदतों के बारे में भी बेझिझक बात कर सकोगे। घबराओ मत, यह तुम्हारी सोच से कहीं ज़्यादा आसान है। चलो, एक नई शुरुआत करते हैं!

टिप्स और ट्रिक्स (4)

💡

Don't pluralize

Never add an 's' to an adjective. It's always 'big houses', not 'bigs houses'.

The 'To Be' Rule

Always put the adverb AFTER 'am', 'is', or 'are'.

Review Summary

  • Subject + Be + Adjective / Adjective + Noun
  • Subject + Adverb + Verb
  • Verb + Adverb (usually -ly)
  • Adjective + -er than / More + Adjective + than
  • The + Adjective + -est / The most + Adjective

सामान्य गलतियाँ

For short, one-syllable adjectives, we add '-er' instead of using 'more'.

Wrong: He is more tall than me.
सही: He is taller than me.

Frequency adverbs go AFTER the verb 'to be', even though they go BEFORE other verbs.

Wrong: I always am happy.
सही: I am always happy.

'Good' is an adjective; 'well' is the adverb form. Use adverbs to describe verbs.

Wrong: She speaks good.
सही: She speaks well.
