ENGLISH WORKSHEET - 1 L-1 (SENTENCES) THE SENTENCE
A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. It begins
with a capital letter and ends with a full stop(.),a question
mark(?) or an exclamation mark(!).
THE PHRASE
A phrase is a group of words that makes sense but not complete
sense. For example- in the auditorium, with a spoon, last month,
inspite of, etc. We cannot call any group of words a phrase. It
should make some sense. Examples: (a) played park the (not a
phrase) (b) a good student (phrase)
PARTS OF A SENTENCE
A sentence has two parts namely, a subject and a predicate.
Subject: It is that part of a sentence which tells us who or what
the sentence is about.
Predicate: It is that part of a sentence which tells us something
about the subject. Example: The actors performed well. Subject
Predicate ‘The actors’ is the subject since it tells us what the
sentence is about.
The predicate is ‘performed well’ since it tells us something about
the subject.
The subject as well as the predicate may consist of one word or
many words in a sentence.
A verb is an essential part of a sentence and is a part of the
predicate.
The subject of a sentence usually comes before a predicate but
there are exceptions.
At times, for the sake of emphasis, the order is changed. Examples:
(a) At one corner of the room sat the princess. predicate subject
(b) In that jungle lived a lion. predicate subject
In imperative sentences, the subject is not mentioned but implied.
Examples (a) Go there. It means : You go there . subject predicate
(b) Have two capsules daily. It means: You have two capsules daily.
subject predicate
In interrogative sentences, the subject and predicate are placed in
the following order.
Examples: (a) What are you doing? predicate subject predicate
(b) Have you gone to the market ? predicate subject predicate
To find the subject and the predicate in interrogative sentences,we
change these sentences into statements.
Examples: (a) What are you doing? You are doing what.
(b) Have you gone to the market? You have gone to the market. In
(a) it is now easier for us to identify the subject which is ‘You’
and the other words form the predicate. Now, in (b) ‘You’ is the
subject and the words ‘have gone to the market’ become the
predicate.
In exclamatory sentences, the word order is as follows: Examples:
(a) How beautiful she is ! predicate subject predicate (b) What a
good boy John is ! predicate subject predicate
To find the subject and the predicate in exclamatory sentences, we
change these sentences into statements. Examples: (a) How beautiful
she is! She is(how) beautiful.
‘She’ is the subject and the other words form the predicate. (b)
What a good boy John is! John is (what) a good boy.
‘John’ is the subject and the other words form the predicate. Q1
Underline the phrases in the following sentences. i) The garden was
full of roses. ii) Inspite of starting late, we reached on time.

ENGLISH WORKSHEET 2 CLASS VII L- 1(SENTENCES)
KINDS OF SENTENCES There are four kinds of sentences. i) Assertive
or Declarative Sentence: A declarative sentence:
says or states something
can be affirmative or negative and
is always followed by a full stop These sentences convey a fact or
make a statement. Assertive sentences are of two types- Affirmative
sentence and Negative sentence Examples: (a) He felt sad for his
friend. (affirmative) (b) He did not argue with her. (negative) In
the above examples, (a) is affirmative, since it is making a
positive statement, while sentence (b) is negative, since it is
making a negative statement. The word ‘not’ is added to the
affirmative sentence to make it negative.
ii) Imperative Sentence: A sentence which gives orders or
instructions, makes request or offers advice is called an
imperative sentence. Examples: (a) Mother, please buy me a packet
of potato chips. (request) (b) Don’t eat potato chips. (command)
(c) Have some fruits, they are healthy. (advice,suggestion)
Examples: (a) Come here. (command) ↓ verb (b)Take the medicine
twice daily. (advice) These sentences begin with a verb.
Hint: Find the verb first and ask who or what before it. The answer
is the subject.The rest of the sentence including the verb is the
predicate.
(c) Please listen to me. (request) ↓ verb
In sentences that are requests, usually Please is used to begin the
sentences followed by the verbs.
An imperative sentence is followed by a full stop. iii)
Interrogative Sentence: A sentence that is used to ask questions is
called an interrogative sentence. Examples: (a) Are you Mrs Sharma?
(b) What are you looking for? Interrogative sentences are of two
kinds. a) Yes/No questions b) Wh- questions
In an interrogative sentence, we place the auxiliary verb before
the subject .
We always put a question mark(?) at the end of an interrogative
sentence. Examples: (a) They have bought sweets. (statement)
subject auxiliary verb
(b) Have they bought sweets? (question) auxiliary verb
subject
In the interrogative sentence (b), the auxiliary verb (have) is
placed before the subject (they).
A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative sentence as
shown in sentence (b).
Example: Are you Mrs Sharma? auxiliary verb subject The above
sentence is an example of a yes or no question, which means a
question that can be answered in yes or no. Such a question begins
with an auxiliary verb. Some auxiliary verbs are is, do, have, can,
was, were, had which help other verbs form tenses and voices.
Example: What are you looking for? question word auxiliary verb
subject The above sentence is an example of ‘wh question’. These
questions cannot be answered in yes or no and begin with question
words such as ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘when’, ‘where’, ‘whom’, ‘whose’ or
‘which’ ‘Wh’ questions begin with Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns like who, whom, whose are also used to ask
questions. These are used only for persons. Examples: (a) Who has
written this letter? Anil has written this letter. (b) Whose bag is
this? It is Sonal’s bag. (c)Whom do you want to reward? I want to
reward Alka.
Interrogative pronoun ‘who’ is used as a subject, ‘whom’ refers to
the object. Examples: (a) Who called you? (b) Whom are you calling?
subject Object object subject Nowadays, in informal conversation,
who is commonly used instead on whom. Examples: (a) Whom does she
want to meet? (b) Who does she want to meet? [ Both the sentences
are correct.] In written English, we generally use the form given
in sentence (a) as it is formal. In spoken English, we generally
use the form given in sentence (b) as it is informal. What and
which are also interrogative pronouns. They can be used for both
persons and things. Examples: (a) What is he? He is a doctor. (b)
What is she? She is a professor. What is used for persons to
enquire about their trade or profession. What is also used to refer
to things. Examples: (a) What is in the bag? My clothes are in the
bag. (thing) (b) What are you eating? I am eating an apple. (a
thing) Which is used to when we ask about things or about one
particular thing in a group. Examples: (a) Which is your bottle?
(b) Which of these paintings have you made? Which is also used to
ask questions about persons when we have to select a person from a
group. Examples: (a) Which of you gave the application? (indicating
a group) (b) Which of the boys is ready to play? (indicating a
group) Interrogative adjectives are also used to ask questions:
what snacks, which girl and whose book. Interrogative adverbs are
also used to ask questions: where, when, how, why, how often, how
long and how soon. (iv) Exclamatory Sentences: Exclamatory
sentences help is communicate strong feelings of surprise,
admiration, appreciation, wonder and shock. Examples: (a) What a
beautiful baby he is! (b) How wonderful the painting is!
An exclamatory sentence begins with what or how.
It is followed by an exclamation mark.
For emphasis, the word order is altered in an exclamatory sentence.
Examples: (a) He is a beautiful baby. (assertive sentence with
normal word order) subject verb The above sentence transforms into:
What a beautiful baby he is! (exclamatory sentence with a different
word order) new word is added subject verb (b) The painting is
wonderful. (assertive) Sentence (b) transforms into:
How wonderful the painting is! (exclamatory) new word is added

ASSIGNMENT II CIVICS – CHAPTER 1- EMERGENCE OF DEMOCRAY: A
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE What is Democracy? Democracy is a system of
government in which the citizens exercise power directly or elect
representatives from among themselves to form a governing body,
such as a parliament. It is also referred as “rule of the
majority”. Here the power can’t be inherited. People elect their
leaders. Representatives stand in an election and the citizens vote
for their representative. The representative with the most number
of votes gets the power. History The term “democracy” first
appeared in ancient Greek political and philosophical thought in
the city-state of Athens during the classical antiquity. The word
comes from Greek word demos, “common people” and Kratos, strength.
It was established in 508–507 BC by the Athenians and it was led by
Cleisthenes. Cleisthenes is also known as the ”the father of
Athenian democracy”. Democracy in India India is the world’s
largest democracy. India became a democratic nation post its
independence in the year 1947. Thereafter, the citizens of India
were given the right to vote and elect their leaders. In India, it
gives its citizens the right to vote irrespective of their caste,
color, creed, religion, and gender. It has five democratic
principles – sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic and
republic. Universal Adult Franchise Most modern democracies now
practice universal adult franchise, which means that all adults
have the right to vote irrespective of their race, sex, religion,
economic or social status. Elections Elections are the process by
which the citizens of a democracy select or choose their
representatives. The elected representatives from different parts
of the country meet in a body called the assembly or parliament.
Elections have to be held at regular intervals- some countries hold
them every five years, while some hold them every four or six
years. Key elements of Democracy
a. Equality b. Freedom c. Decision making mechanism d.
Accommodation of differences e. Popular Participation f. Enhancing
Human Dignity

Absolute cell references When a formula contains an absolute
reference, no matter which cell the formula occupies the cell
reference does not change: if you copy or move the formula, it
refers to the same cell as it did in its original location. In an
absolute reference, each part of the reference (the letter that
refers to the row and the number that refers to the column) is
preceded by a “$” – for example, $A$1 is an absolute reference to
cell A1. Wherever the formula is copied or moved, it always refers
to cell A1.
