ii)

To teach prose, ask them to read a para-graph and try to understand the idea in it.Then you check if their understanding iscorrect.(But before their reading the paragraph,give them the meanings of difficult words.)Then explain the meaning of each sen-tence; put them questions now and then.When all the paras are complete, askthem questions about the idea ineach para.How to teach poetry: Read out aloudto the students the poem. Give themeanings of difficult words, as usedin the poem. Then read out each lineafter putting the words in the proseorder. They will then be able to followit more easily. Explain the wholepoem again.Teaching non detailed: Give the summaryof the chapter you are going to teach. Readout aloud the chapter para after para -explain the meanings of difficult words.Give the summary of each para.

- ï- ¢√- •’:

i) The part 'have been to solve the problem''of sentence No - 1 is NOTin the structure.

'have been able to P.V. (passive).

Here, the division of the sentence should be,'have been able + to solve + the problem. 'tosolve' should be taken as a single unit,because 'to solve (to + 1st Regular doingword) is an infinitive.So the structure of 'have been able to solvethe problem' is: Have been (verb) + able(adjective) + to solve (infinitive) + the prob-lem (noun/object).No part of the expression here is in passivevoice. Only an expression with a 'be' form +past participle (is done, has been given, areseen etc) is in the passive voice. Sameapplies to your other sentences No. 2, 3 & 4.This is the structure.
