-Non-Finite Verb-
You remember we discussed a little about ―Non-Finite‖ verb in second lecture. A Non-finite verb is not limited
by person and number i.e. it does not change its form based on person or number as finite verb does.
 They always try to find fault with me.
 He has intention to like me.
Non-finite verbs are three types:
 Participle: I called fire brigade noticing the burning building
 Gerund: Swimming is a good exercise.
 Infinitive: I like to walk in the morning.
Participle
It is that form of the verb which takes the nature of both of a verb and of an adjective. It is also verbal adjective. In
other words, a participle is a word which is partly a verb and partly an adjective.
 Learning the materials, the boy appeared on the exam.
Types of Participle
Present Participle ends in –ing and represents an action as going on or incomplete or imperfect.

Loudly knocking at the door, he demanded admission.
Past participle represents a completed action or state of the thing spoken of

Deceived by his friends, he lost all hope.
Perfect Participle represents an action as completed at some past time.

Having beaten by the police, the thieves divulged the truth.
Present participle shows active sense of a noun whereas past participle showpassive sense of a noun.

-Sequence of Tense-
Sequence tense means maintaining proper order of tense while writing a complex tense. In other words, verbs used in
a complex sentence must be rational. For example: ―I was talking to Kayes when he will come to me” - does not
make sense as two verbs here are written using different tense. It should have been either ―I was talking to Kayes
when he came to me” or ―I will be talking to Kayes when he will come to me”. So the general rule is
Tense of Principal Clause Tense of Subordinate Clause

Present Any Tense
Past Past Tense
Future Present Tense
Exceptions:
1. If subordinate clause shows ―universal truth‖, it will always be in present indefinite tense
 He knew that the earth orbits around the sun.
2. If ―than‖ is used to show comparison, both clauses can be of any tense.
 He liked you more than anyone likes you
 He likes you more that anyone liked you
3. Clause inside of inverted comma (― ‖) can be of any tense
 He said, ―I will go to Dhaka tomorrow‖
4. Two future clauses cannot be written together. One of them must be written in present tense
 I will meet him if he calls me

-Conditional Sentence-
There are two types of conditionals: a) The real (habitual & factual) b) the unreal (contrary to fact or hypothetical)
a) The real or future possible:
The real or future possible is used when the speaker expresses an action or situation which usually occurs or will occur if the
circumstances in the main clause are met.
Example:
If the driver doesn’t make a mistake, we will quickly reach the destination.
If the cinema hall doesn’t charge the high price, we will buy the tickets.
If my enemy disappears, I will again start my lecture.
b) The unreal:
The unreal condition expresses a situation (past, present or future) that would take place or would have taken place if the
circumstances expressed were or had been different now or in the past.
If I were you, I could break the wall.
If they had a lot of money, they would buy the heaven.
The researchers would never respond if they had not time.
NB: A comma has to be used when the clause marker comes first in the sentence.
If a verb in unreal condition is positive, the meaning is actually negative; if a verb in unreal condition is negative, the meaning is
actually positive.
Example:
If we were kind, we would help all the poor.
If he were sick, he would stay home today.
N.B: In the unreal condition, the past tense form of “be” is always “were” in a conditional sentence; it can never be “was” in
correct English.
Real conditions (possibly true)
Future Time
If + subject+ simple present tense-------,+ (will/can/may/must) + Vo
Example:
If they arrive soon, we will play cricket.
We must stay here if the writers promise to come.
Universal Truth/scientifically proven
If + subject+ simple present tense-------,+ Simple Present Tense
Example:
If an adjective is used, it normally precedes the noun.
The grass gets wet if it rains.
Habitual
If + subject+ simple present tense-------,+ Simple Present Tense
Example:
We usually take shower at the morning if we have enough time.
If the doctor is busy at evening, he usually visits the admitted patients at night.
Command/Request
If + subject+ simple present tense-------,+ Command or Request Form
Example:
If you go to New Market, please buy a shirt for me.
If the enemies come in this area, beat them to death.
NB: A conditional clause (if clause) can never be written in future tense.
Unreal conditions (Not true)
Present or Future Time
If + subject+ simple past tense-------,+ Would/Could/Might+ Vo
Example:
If the researchers collected the rest of information, they could complete the survey.
The liars would not admit of their complicity if they were not given severe punishment.
Past Time
If + subject+ Past Perfect Tense-------,+ Would/Could/Might+ have+ V3
Example:
If I had won the lottery, I would have bought you a present.
If she had known the answer, she would have told us.
Exceptional Rule:
 It is also possible to indicate a past unreal condition without using the word if. In that case, the auxiliary had
is placed before the subject for past time unreal conditionals and in case of present or future time unreal
conditionals, be verb (were) can be placed before subject if available in the sentence.
Example:
Had they built the building before the tornedo, it would have broken down.
Had the scientists discovered the sophisticated device, we could have easily solved it.
Were I a king, I would help the poor.
Were I a bird, I would fly towards the sea.
 ―Should‖ can also be used to express the condition.
Example:
If any problem arises, don’t hesitate to call me
 Should any problem arises, don’t hesitate to call me.

-Unless-
Unless means the same as if...not. Like if, unless is followed by a present tense, a past tense, or a past perfect tense.
Unless is used instead of if...not in conditional sentences of all types.

-As if / As though-
These conjunctions indicate something unreal or contrary to fact and are very similar in form to conditional
sentences. The verb used after the conjunctions is always in the past tense.
Have a look at the following structure,
If + subject+ Verb (present) -------+ as if/ as though + …… +subject + verb (past)
Example:
They talk as if they were mad.
The CEO says as though he became drunk.
Farmers have worked in the field as if they got the good harvest.
If + subject+ Verb (past) -------+ as if/ as though + …… +subject + verb (past parfect)

-Hope/wish-
These two verbs, despite having a similar meaning, are grammatically different. The verb hope is used to indicate
something that possibly happened or will possibly happen. The verb wish is used to indicate something that
definitely did not happen or definitely will not happen.
Example:
We hope that my parents will come soon.
We wish that my parents could come soon.
We hope that my parents came yesterday.
We wish that my parents had come yesterday.
N.B: Wish is very similar to a contrary to fact or unreal condition.
Example:
I wish I were a king.
We wish that they had been here last night.
 Structure for ―Future Time” Wish
1. wish / would + base verb
 I wish she would tell me her secret.
2. wish / could + base verb
 They wish we could be there next month.
 Structure for “Present Time” Wish
1. wish / past
 I wish I knew how to use this software.
2. wish / past progressive
 They wish it weren’t raining now.

1. wish / had + p.p.
 I wish I had passed the test.
2. wish / could + have + p.p.
 My friend wishes she could have gone to the movie with us.
-Inversion-
Inversion refers to keeping ―verb‖ before the subject. Generally a sentence structure is Subject + verb + Object. But
for inversion the structure is Verb + Subject + Object or Auxiliary Verb + Subject + principle verb + Object.
Normally we use inversion for interrogative sentences but inversion has other usages too. We use inversion to impose
emphasis on adjective or adverb in the sentence.
Rules for inversion:
Rule 1: When a negative adverb or adverb phrase is used at the beginning of the sentence, auxiliary verb comes
before the sentence (for present and past indefinite do, does or did will be used as appropriate).
Hardly Rarely Scarcely Barely
Seldom Nowhere Never No sooner
Not once Not only By no means Little
Not until At no time In no way
Example:
 Hardly had I got into bed when the telephone rang.
 Never had she seen such a beautiful sight before.
 Seldom do we see such an amazing display of dance.
 Rarely will you hear such beautiful music.
 Not only does he love chocolate and sweets but he also smokes.
 No sooner had we arrived home than the police rang the doorbell.
Rule 2: For below expressions, if placed at the beginning of the sentence, the independent clause will be inverted,
not the dependent clause.
Only if Only when Only because
Only after Only until
Incorrect: Only if you have a serious problem you should call Mr. Franklin at home.

Correct: Only if you have a serious problem should you call Mr. Franklin at home.
Incorrect: Only if you have a grandiose party you should invite me.
Correct: Only if you have a grandiose party should you invite me.
Incorrect: Only when you are satisfied the sale is considered final.
Correct: Only when you are satisfied is the sale considered final.
Rule 3: When adverbial expression of place is used at the beginning of the sentence, inversion is used in the
sentence. Please note, in this case if there is no auxiliary verb in the sentence, main verb or principal verb
comes before the subject.
 All the money we had lost was on the table. =>On the table was all the money we had lost.
 The knights came round the corner. =>Round the corner came the knights.
More Example
 Under a tree was lying one of the biggest men I had ever seen.
 On the grass sat an enormous frog.
 Directly in front of them stood a great castle.
 Along the road came a strange procession.

N.B: Inversions after prepositions and adverb of place do not happen with pronouns.
 In the office they came./ In the office came they.
 Here it is./ Here is it.
 There he plays./ There plays he.
Rule 4: Inversion will be used if 'so + adjective...that' or 'so + participle...that' is used before the sentence:
 So ridiculous did she look that everybody burst out laughing.
 So brilliant was she that none competed with her in any of the competitive tests.
Incorrect: So rare this coin is that it belongs in a museum.

Correct: So rare is this coin that it belongs in a museum.
Incorrect: So confusing the map was that we had to ask a police officer for directions.
Correct: So confusing was the map that we had to ask a police officer for directions.
Rule 5: If Only + preposition or Only + adverb comes at the beginning of the sentence, inversion will be used
Only at Only in Only on

Only once Only recently Only by
 Only recently did I understand what she meant.

 Only ina trouble does she ask for my help.
 Only after her death was I able to appreciate her.
Incorrect: Only in an emergency you should use this exit.
Correct: Only in an emergency should you use this exit.
Incorrect: Only recently she returned from abroad
Correct: Only recently did she return from abroad
Incorrect: Only by asking questions you can learn.
Correct: Only by asking questions can you learn.

Sentence completion is a vocabulary based question. In most of the competitive exam this type of questions are
tested. Sentence completion basically comes with a sentence with one or two blank space(s). Answer choice can also
require to be chosen based on grammar. There is no straight forward rule for Sentence completion. Only with
practice can someone be at home in this section.
According to question pattern, sentence completion can be of five types:
1. Supporting Words.
2. Contrast Indicators
3. Reiteration or Restatement.
4. Cause and Effect.
5. Without any Key Word.
1. Supporting words
In this case, Supporting words support or further explain what has already been said. These words often introduce
synonyms for words elsewhere in the sentence.
and in the same way for instance similarly furthermore as

same just as specifically such as as an example also
resembles like likewise
Example 01:
Unlike the images in symbolist poetry which are often vague and –––––, the images of surrealist poetry
are startlingly (Pg‡KIVvigZ)––––– and bold.
A. extraneous (Amswk-ó; evB‡ii), furtive (‡Pviv; †Mvcb)
B. trivial (mvgvb¨; Zz”Q), inadvertent (Amveavbx; Ag‡bv‡hvMx)
C. obscure (A¯có)... concrete (mywbw`©ó)
D. spectacular (RuvKv‡jv; `„wóAvKl©K) ... pallid (d¨vKv‡m, gwjb)
E. symmetrical (mylg)... virulent (we‡ØlcY©; AZ¨š welv³)
This sentence has the key word “and” twice for both the blank spaces. We need to find words that have similar
meaning to vague and bold. So the answer is C
Example 02:
Just as television surpassed radio as the major source of entertainment for the nation, it seems likely that
the Internet will eventually --------- television.
A.invigorate(†ZR¯^x Kiv, ejea©bKiv) B.alter (cwieZ©bKiv)
C. reciprocate (ci¯ciwewbgqKiv, cÖwZ`vb†`qv)
D.eliminate (ev` †`qv) E. supplant(†KvbwKQyi ¯’vb `LjKiv, D‡PQ` Kiv)
This sentence has the key word “just as”, so we can understand both part of the sentence will have similar sense. So
the answer is E
Example 03:
It is characteristic of old age to sap a man's vitality and rob him of his natural ________.
A. youth ‡hŠeb B. senility eva©K¨ C. ebullience D”Q¡vm
D. maturityc•Y©Zv/cwic°Zv E. insensibility Am‡PZbZv
This sentence has the key word “and”, so we can understand both part of the sentence will have similar sense as in
two characteristics of the old age. So the answer is C

2. Contrast Indicators
To contrast two things is to point out how they differ. In this type of sentence completion problem, we look for a
word that has the opposite meaning (an antonym) of some key word or phrase in the sentence.
Although but yet unlike on the other hand

however whereas in contrast rather surprisingly
Example 01:
Although his work was often ----- and -----, he was promoted anyway simply because he has been with the
company longer than anyone else.
A. forceful (†Rviv‡jv), extraneous (Amswk-ó; evB‡ii)B. negligent (hZœnxb), creative (m„Rbkxj)
C. incomplete (Am¤c•Y©),imprecise (Ah_v_©) D. predictable (Av‡M †_‡KB e‡j †`qv hvqGgb), careful
E. expeditious (Zrci), concise (msw¶ß)
This sentence has a key word “Although”, so we need to find suitable words that make contrast with the other
clause: “he was promoted anyway simply because he has been with the company longer than anyone else”.
Here to note that someone usually gets “promoted” for having some positive characteristics. To make the
“contrast” we need to find negative characteristics. So the answer should be C.
Example 02:
In a large group of people, Irina often seemed ------ and aloof, although among her friends and family she
was quite ------.
A. reticent (¯^ífvlx, ¸i“M¤¢xi)...convivial (Avb›`-Dj-vmwcÖq)
B. gregarious (AgvwqK)…outgoing (ewnM©vgx)
C. detrimental(¶wZKi)… multifarious (eûwewPÎ)
D. unattainable (Ajf¨)…taciturn (evKwegyL)
E. intriguing (Pµvš•Kvix)…vigorous (†ZR¯^x, ejevb)
This one is bit tricky. Here key words are “and” & “although”. So for first blank we need to find a similar
word (or, of similar sense) to “aloof” because of the key word “and” and for the second blank we need to find
a suitable word that make contrast with both the previously “chosenword” and “aloof”. So the answer is A
Please Note: Even with all the explanations, it should be clear to the learners that the most important part of
the sentence completion is having a strong vocab base. So all are encouraged to keep working on that!!
**Other topics will be discussed in the next lectures.

-Writing-
1. Translate the following into Bangla:
Scaling up investments green in infrastructure, particularly in renewable energy will require leveling the playing
field in competing with the traditional carbon emission intensive options, by-redirecting support subsidies and
incentives towards the green alternatives and away from traditional ones in the domestic scene; as also by
opening up to imports from green sources abroad. Such reforms are typically slow; beset with challenges of
overcoming resistance of vested interests in traditional business as usual options. Multilateral development
financing institutions like the World bank and ADB can take larger role in helping developing economy
governments with knowhow and resource support in green IFC investments. Bangladesh Bank is working with
IFC in promoting the private sector's awareness of green growth opportunities, to draw investors increasingly
into green investment, local, foreign owned and joint venture. [JB (EO)-17]

4. Read the following passage and answer the questions below.

Surveillance has increased manifold since the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Centre in the U.S. This
increase in surveillance today shapes the relationship between the state and the individual. The state keeps an
eye on its citizens, thereby positing each and every citizen as a potential wrong-doer. For instance, the
proliferation of the CCTV cameras in streets, restaurants and in every imaginable public space. In fact, the
camera need not even be functional in order to make the citizens behave themselves – its mere presence is
enough to scare the citizens into submission. Such is the power of the mere potential of surveillance.
Surveillance studies have shown that these techniques might not be too effective at all times, citizens might
feign decent behavior in order to avoid themselves from getting into a tussle with the law of the land. But it does
not assure the state of the reformation in the attitude of the citizens. It is a mere eye-wash. It works only when
the citizen truly desires to transform his or her attitude and adopt decency in all walks of life. The act of
constant surveillance makes the state a voyeur – a person who derives pleasure from watching events unfold in a
secretive manner. A recent case in point would be the raid on a hotel in the so-called cosmopolitan city of
Mumbai where young couples were consensually residing. The state has today entered the bed-room. And this is
an unhealthy proposition!
Questions
a) Write a proper title of the given passage.
b) Why is surveillance not effective always?
c) What is the effect of the state’s surveillance on the individual?
d) When is surveillance really effective?
e) Does the CCTV need to be functional all the time?

Comparison-
Comparison is one of the most frequently tested grammar items in the competitive exam. On an average in every
competitive exam you will find at least one question based on comparison. Comparison indicates degrees of
difference with adjectives and adverbs and may be equal or unequal.
Look at the following words:
Like, unlike and alike: These words are used in comparison. Comparison means finding out both the similarities
and dissimilarities. We mistakenly think that comparison means finding the dissimilarities. Examine the following
examples and use them properly.
Example:
Incorrect: Like every student, a good result can be made by him.
Correct: Like every student, he can make a good result.
Incorrect: unlike my friend, making a choice is my priority
Correct: Unlike my friend, I have a priority in making a choice.
Incorrect: Your shirt and mine are like.
Correct: your shirt and mine are alike.
Class Practice 1: make necessary corrections in the following sentences.

1. Like the shirt of Adnan, Farhan had a very colorful shirt.
2. Unlike Tammana, the tooth of Nabil is giving a lot of pain.
3. His pants and hers are very like.
4. Like the color of T shirt, Polo shirt can make us happy.
5. Unlike that of his brother, he had a laptop with high configuration.
Types of comparison
1. Equal Comparison: An equal comparison indicates that the two nouns or noun phrases are exactly or not
exactly the same.
Example:
This convention hall was as neat and clean as the one we saw in America.
Our television is not so costly as their one.
2. Unequal Comparison: Some sentences compare things that are not equal. Look at the following box on how
to make comparison.
Slow-slower-slowest Important –more important – most important
Quick-quicker-quickest Relevant- less relevant- least relevant
Hard- harder-hardest Senior- more senior – most senior*
Different – more different – most different
For example:
Incorrect: The contestants of the UK are beautifuller than our contestants.
Correct: The contestants of the UK are more beautiful than our contestants.
Incorrect: Our seniors are more quicker at making decisions than the recent so called experts.
Correct: our seniors are quicker at making decisions than the so called recent experts.

Rules of Comparison
1. Equal Comparison:
Subject + Verb + as + ( adjective/adverb) + as + noun/pronoun
2. Unequal Comparison:
(i) Regular Unequal Comparison
Subject + verb + adjective/adverb+ er + than +Noun/Pronoun
Subject +verb+ more/less + adjective/adverb + than + Noun/pronoun
Example:
They have more clear information than their counterparts.
The style of a cinematographer is much more logical than that of a normal photographer.
(ii) Intensified Unequal Comparison
Subject + verb + (far/much) + adjective/adverb+ er + than +Noun/Pronoun
Subject +verb + (far/much) + more/less + adjective/adverb + than + Noun/pronoun
Please note: far & much are used to intensify the meaning. These are not comparative word.
Example:
Rashid's watch is far more expensive than mine.
That movie we saw last night was much less interestingthan the one on television.
A watermelon is much sweeter than a lemon.
Illogical Comparison:
A comparison is illogical when two entities that are not similar are compared. Make sure that the entities compared
are the same. A comparison can be made logical with help of these following three concepts
a) Possessives b) that of (singular) c) those of (plural)
Example:
Incorrect- The compensation packages of Eclectic Education is better than a multinational corporation.
Correct- The compensation packages of Eclectic Education is better than those of a multinational corporation.
Incorrect: The luggage of a doctor is usually lighter than a female.
Correct: The luggage of a doctor is usually lighter than that of a female.
Incorrect: Hero Alam’s acting is much more lucrative than Shahrukh khan.
Correct: Hero Alam’s acting is much more lucrative than Shahrukh Khan‘s.
Double Comparatives:
Sometimes to emphasize on the intensity of anything, we use double comparatives. In a double comparative, the
formula is as follows;
The + Comparative word + (sentence), the +comparative + (sentence)
Example:
Incorrect: The more he reads, more he becomes knowledgeable.
Correct: The more he reads, the more he becomes knowledgeable.
Incorrect: Sooner, the better
Correct: the sooner, the better.
Incorrect: The quicker they drive, riskier the life becomes.
Correct: The quicker they drive, the riskier the life becomes.

Two Entities or entities:
A comparison between two or more entities is possible without the common comparison format with ―than‖. In this
case definite article ―the‖ is placed before the comparative word.
Incorrect: Of the two shirts, this one is better.
Correct: Of the two shirts, this one is the better.
Incorrect: His comment is better than of the two distinct comments.
Correct: His comment is the better of the two comments.
Incorrect: His luggage is best of the four luggage.
Correct: His luggage is the best of the four luggage or Of the four luggage, his luggage is the best.
Multiple Number Comparison:

Subject + Verb + Number Multiple + as + much/many +(noun)+ as + (Noun/Pronoun)
Examples of number multiples- twice, thrice, two times, three times, half and so on.
Incorrect: Normally Lamborghini costs thrice more than a normal private car.
Correct: Normally Lamborghini costs thrice as much as a normal private car.
Incorrect: Fahmida can eat three times more apples than her counterpart.
Correct: Fahmida can eat three times as many apples as her counterpart.
Some Important Rules

1. Some words are only used as positive degree. They can never be used as comparative from.
Former, Later, Elder, Hinder, Upper, Inner, Outer, Utter
Interior, exterior, ulterior, major, minor,

Example:
Incorrect: Mr. Jhon is more former faculty in this Institution.
Correct: Mr. Jhon is former faculty in this Institution.
Incorrect: Shawon is at upper level than they in this community.
Correct: Shawon is at upper level in this community.
2. Some words can only be used as comparative degree and they are always followed by ―to‖ instead of ―than‖
Inferior, Superior, Prior, Anterior, Posterior, Senior, Junior.
Example:
Incorrect: Soaib is senior than Shima.
Correct: Soaib is senior to Shima.
Incorrect: These apples are inferior than Australian Apples.
Correct: These apples are inferior to Australian Apples.
3. For some words, degree can never be changed
Square, round, perfect, eternal, universal, unique, supreme, triangle, any color (i.e. red, black)
Example:
Incorrect: This is the more perfect.
Correct: This is perfect.
Incorrect: The president has the more / most supreme power to amnesty.
Correct: The president has the supreme power to amnesty.
4. ―Late‖ can have two comparative forms: ―latter‖ & ―later‖ and two superlative forms ―last‖ & ―Latest‖.
i. ―Latter‖ refers to the second of two things and ―Later‖ refers to a time subsequent to a reference time
⁃ Tom and Dick were both heroes but only the latter is remembered today"
⁃ He's going to the store but he'll be back here later
ii. ―Last‖ refers to coming after all others in time, space, degree or being the only one remaining and
―Latest‖ refers to most recent or most up-to-date.
⁃ The last game of the season will be between Real Madrid and Barcelona
⁃ Have you heard the latest scientific discoveries?
5. Elder and Eldest can only be used to denote age difference among persons whereas older or oldest can be
used for person, thing or animal. Elder and Eldest are both used as simple adjective and so they do not
require ―than‖ or ―the‖ unlike the regular comparative or superlative words.
Example:
My elder brother is older than you by 5 Years. (elder - Adjective, older - Comparative)
Shirin is my eldest sister. (Eldest – adjective)
6. ―Nearest‖ means closest in term of distance whereas ―Next‖ refers to immediately following in time or
order
⁃ The nearest restaurant is one kilometer away
⁃ She lives next to Japan Garden City.

-Agreement (Affirmative & Negative) -

When the two individuals (or in other ways) are doing the same work or are not doing a particular work, we can write
about their activities in the same sentence instead of two separate sentences with the help of agreement rules.
For example:
Two Sentences- The young people of Bangladesh like watching Hindi Movies. The young people of Kolkata also
like watching Hindi movies.
One sentence: The young people of Bangladesh like watching Hindi movies and so do the young people of
Kolkata.
Rules for Agreement:
1. Tense of the agreement will be done according to the first sentence
2. Verb of the agreement will be according to the number or person of the subject of agreement

Affirmative Agreement:
When the two individuals (or in other ways) do the same work, with the help of following affirmative agreement rule
we can easily write the expression in one sentence.
So + Auxiliary verb + Subject
First sentence And
Subject + Auxiliary verb+ too/also
Defining verb for Affirmative agreement:
 If ―be‖ verb (am, is, are, was, were) is used in the first sentence, ―be‖ verb will be used in the agreement.
Affirmative sentence + and + subject + be verb + too/also
Affirmative sentence + and + so + be verb + subject
Example:
My wife is happy, and I am too.

My wife is happy, and so am I.
 If the sentence has both auxiliary verb and principle verb, auxiliary verb will be used in the agreement.
Affirmative sentence + and + subject + auxiliary verb + too/also
Affirmative sentence + and + so + auxiliary verb + subject
Example:
I shall work in the lab tomorrow, and you will too.

I shall work in the lab tomorrow, and so will you.
 If the sentence does not have auxiliary verb, agreement will be done with auxiliary verb do, does or did
depending on subject and tense.
Affirmative sentence + and + subject + do/does/did + too/also
Affirmative sentence + and + so + do/does/did + subject
Example:
Jane goes to that school, and my sister does too.

Jane goes to that school, and so does my sister.
-Class Practice 04 -

6. I should go grocery shopping this afternoon, and so ——— my neighbor.
7. We like to swim in the pool, and they ——— too.
8. Our Spanish teacher loves to travel, and so ——— we.

Negative Agreement:
When the two individuals (or in other ways) are not doing a particular work, with the help of following negative
agreement rule we can easily write the expression in one sentence.
Neither + Auxiliary verb + Subject
First sentence And
Subject + Auxiliary verb+ not +either
Example:
Two sentences: Lawyers never make mistakes in taking high charge. Bankers never commit mistakes in taking
high charge as well.
One Sentence: Lawyers never commit mistakes in taking high charge and neither do Bankers.
Two sentences: Business people can hardly forget to make profit. Arbitragers can hardly forget to make profit as well.
One sentence: Business people can hardly forget to make profit and arbitragers cannot either.
Defining verb for Negative agreement:

 If ―be‖ verb (am, is, are, was, were) is used in the first sentence, ―be‖ verb will be used in the agreement.
Negative sentence + and + subject + be verb + not either
Negative sentence + and + neither + be verb + subject
Example:
She was not going to the conference, and her colleagues were not either.
She was not going to the conference, and neither were her colleagues.
 If the sentence has both auxiliary verb and principle verb, auxiliary verb will be used in the agreement.
Negative sentence + and + subject + auxiliary verb + not either
Negative sentence + and + neither + auxiliary verb + subject
Example:
They will not work in the lab tomorrow, and you will not either.
They will not work in the lab tomorrow, and neither will you.
 If the sentence does not have auxiliary verb, agreement will be done with auxiliary verb do, does or did
depending on subject and tense.
Negative sentence + and + subject + do/does/did + not either
Negative sentence + and + neither + do/does/did + subject
Example:
Jane never goes to that school, and my sister does not either.

-Embedded Question-
An embedded question is contained within a statement or a question. The word ―embedded‖ means ―inserted as an
integral part of a surrounding whole‖. So when a ―question‖ is embedded in another question or a statement, it is
called embedded question. The important thing here is word order. Look at the below sentences:
1. I don't know where the library is.
2. Do you know where the library is?
3. Where is the library?
The first two examples contain an embedded question. The word order for an embedded question is subject and then verb.
The third example (Where is the library?) is just a regular question in which the word order is verb and then subject.
More Examples:
Incorrect : I didn't understood what did he say.
Correct : I didn't understand what he said.
Incorrect : Do you know how much do they cost?
Correct : Do you know how much they cost?
Incorrect : I wonder when is her birthday.
Correct : I wonder when her birthday is.
Incorrect : Could you please tell me where is the post office?
Correct : Could you please tell me where the post office is?
Incorrect : Do you know where is he?
Correct : Do you know where he is?
Incorrect : What should you do is nothing.
Correct : What you should do is nothing.

-Conjunction-
Conjunctions are the scotch tape of the grammatical world. They join clauses. There are three kinds of conjunctions:
coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions.
1. Coordinating Conjunctions
There are seven coordinating conjunctions in English. You can use the mnemonic device fanboysto remember them.
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So (FANBOYS)
They can be used with commas to create compound sentences. For example:
Ignacio loves to dance, butRocío has no rhythm.
KyongMee works hard, yet she still earns low grades.
Note: A compound sentence is a sentence made up of two independent clauses. That is, a compound sentence is
simply two complete sentences joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (i.e. a FANBOYS).
2. Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative Conjunctions also join ideas, but they work in pairs. They are: Both…and, neither…nor, whether…or,
either…or, not only…but also
Not only am I happy about the grades, but I am also excited that you are learning!
3. Subordinating Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunctions join an independent clause to a subordinate clause. That is, they join a clause that can
stand alone with a clause that cannot stand alone. Some frequently used subordinating conjunctions are: After,
although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, since, so that, though, unless, until, when, whenever,
where, wherever, whether, while.
Although the students were tired, they still came to class.
Other rules:
 As….as can be used in both negative and affirmative sentences but so….as can only be used in negative
sentences.
Incorrect: Shihab is so sharp as a tack.
Correct: Shihab is as sharp as a tack.
Incorrect: Assembling this equipment is not so difficult so it may appear.
Correct: Assembling this equipment is as difficult as it may appear.
Incorrect: Assembling this equipment is not as difficult as it may appear.
Correct: Assembling this equipment is not so difficult as it may appear.

 With ―Not only‖ we must use ―but also‖; using just ―but‖ or ―also‖ is not correct.
Incorrect: She is not only a famous writer but an eminent poet.
Correct: She is not only a famous writer but also an eminent poet.
Incorrect: Our latest model is not only functional also decorative.
Correct: Our latest model is not only functional but also decorative.
 Words added by ―both….and‖ will be placed closest to ―both‖ & ―and‖
Incorrect: My Job has both given me pleasure and satisfaction. Incorrect
Correct: My Job has given me both pleasure and satisfaction. Correct
 ―Both-and-as well as‖ is used to join three words
Both Mary and Ellen as well as Jean are going on the tour.
He is both talented and passionate as well as diligent.
-Sentence Completion-
Continued from the last lecture
3. Restatement or reiteration
In this type of sentence, the sense of one clause is repeated in the other clause or the clause contains the conclusion of
what has been said in the other clause. Below key words are mainly used:
; (semicolon) namely furthermore And that is
likewise to be sure in other words in fact I mean
Example 01:
For centuries there was no  between their descendants; that is,  strife continued until
modern times.
A. peace - internecine (internal) B. hostility (unfriendliness) - intermittent (irregular)
C. malevolence (meanness) - intense (intense) D. amity (friendship) - contrived (forced)
E. difference - feudal (outdated)
Here “that is” asks for a “restatement” of the first sentence in the second sentence. “Strife” is the clue for us which
means “trouble”. From option A, “peace” and “internecine” fill up the gap meaningfully. So answer is A.
Example 02:
She was the most ------- person he had ever met; in fact, her magnanimous nature knew no
limits.
A. charitable B. miserly C. ambitious D. reclusive (isolated) E. prolific
Here “in fact” asks for a “restatement” of the second sentence in the first sentence. “Magnanimous” is the key
word here. Answer is A
4. Cause and Effect

In the type of sentence, one part generally state the ―cause‖ or the ―reason‖ and the other part contains the ―effect‖ or
the ―result‖. The ―effect‖ or the ―result‖ part is actually a conclusion of the other part. Below key words are mainly
used:
Because Because of as a result resulting from due to leading to

thus therefore consequently causes hence

Example 01:
According to Hume, it is not logic that determines what we say and do; if we decide to help a
person in need, we do so because of our  not our .
A. consciousness - emotions
B. duty - rights
C. feelings - reason
D. beliefs - convictions
E. concern - kindness
Here “because of” calls for a cause and effect situation. The first sentence says that whatever we say or do, we don’t
say or do due to logic. So we need to find the reason (why). So when we are helping someone, (keeping first sentence
in mind) we don’t do it because it is our “duty” or “concern” or “belief”. For option A, “emotion” does not fit in
the second gap. So the answer is C
Please Note: Even with all the explanations, it should be clear to the learners that the most important part of the
sentence completion is having a strong vocab base. So all are encouraged to keep working on that!!

01. Précis Writing (Summary)
a) Write in a brief way in your own words regarding the below passage
b) Give an appropriate title for your précis
A spate of question leaks in public examinations has left the education authorities deeply embarrassed and, it appears,
at a loss about what they can do. It is part of a larger problem of quality and good management of education which
need serious attention. However, there is a simple technical solution for question leaks, which can be and should be
implemented for the next round of public examinations. There are various distinct steps now followed in the question
preparation process. These include initial drafting of questions, reviewing the content and quality of the questions,
selecting acceptable versions, choosing a final version out of two approved sets by lottery, printing the one final set,
distribution of the question papers and storing them securely all over the country. On the examination day, the papers
are transported to the centers, and finally handed to the examinees in the examination halls.
At any of the steps, the process may be compromised. Measures have been taken and are being taken to protect the
process. But it can be seen that these measure have not quite worked. The critical step is the very last one—giving out
to the examinees the question papers which have not been already leaked. The last step can be ensured, irrespective of
what happens earlier, by using multiple sets of question papers for the same subject. All the sets can be used in the
examination, with each examinee receiving randomly one of the multiple sets in the examinational hall at the last
moment. The total number of copies of questions printed would still be the same as the number of examinees, but
divided into different sets.
To illustrate the process, several, say eight, sets of question papers can be prepared and printed for a subject. For one
thousand students in an examination centre, 125 copies of each of the eight sets can be available, and a student would
randomly receive one set at the time of examination. The students would not know until the last moment which set of
questions they would answer. There would be no incentive for or advantage from leaking questions in advance. Until
last year, there were actually eight sets of questions for SSC and HSC examinations prepared by each board for their
students. Common questions for the whole country were introduced this year. As a result, the incentive for leaks in
theory was increased eightfold. There were good reasons for having a common set of questions for all eight boards—
ensuring comparable levels of difficulty in questions and assessment standards. These advantages can be and should
be maintained.
A large number of questions has to be prepared for each subject in order to construct multiple sets of questions. At
present, a large collection of questions is prepared, out of which two sets for each subject are put together and one set
is finally selected by lottery, which is printed, distributed and used in the examination. For the suggested approach,
instead of one final set, eight acceptable sets have to be prepared and printed.
The Examination Development Unit located at Dhaka Board (BEDU) needs to have an expert team to make sure that
the quality of the multiple sets are maintained, the topics in them are similar and the level of difficulty are comparable.
Both multiple choice and short essay questions can be included as it is done now. The prior preparation steps until the
final step can be the same as now. An expert committee appointed by the Ministry of Education last year, based on
consultation with teachers, students and specialists, made recommendations regarding necessary reforms in assessment
of students' learning through public examinations and in-school evaluation. It also made suggestions about related
issues in curriculum and the teaching-learning process. This writer was a member of the committee.
Among the steps suggested was to look at the nature of public examinations. The committee proposed that these
examinations should focus more on competencies in Bangla, English, math, science and social studies, rather than
make it a test of every subject and every textbook. The latter should be more a job of annual and half-yearly exams in
schools and regular classroom assessments of students. The public exams then can be less drawn out and can be
completed in no more than five days. Student's performance could be shown by both public exam results and
transcripts from school.
The committee also proposed that co-curricular activities should be an opportunity for all-round development of
students; practicing their skills and competencies related to academic, social, cultural and moral-ethical development
of students; and taken into account in overall assessment of student and teacher performance. The committee also
suggested making practical examination in the science subjects part of school evaluation rather than public exam. As it
is conducted now, it does not add any value to student assessment and leads to an undue disadvantage for students in
non-science subjects. The education decision-makers need to consider the recommendations and decide on appropriate
short and longer term actions. One short term action should be the measure proposed for plugging question leaks.
