Prepositions

              Preposition is a word that shows a relationship between a noun and a pronoun in a sentence. For example:
              Words are:
                Above, across, against, beneath, below, towards, under, until, upto, from, to, near

              Preposition in a Sentence:
                My cat is sitting under a dining table.
                We are ahead of that blue van.

              Interjections

              An interjection is a word or a phrase that expresses a sudden or a strong feeling. Grammatically they are not
              related in a sentence but express a relationship between a word and a phrase in a sentence. Sometimes they are
              followed by an exclamation mark.(!). For example:
              Words are:
                Cheers, alas, eureka, great, gosh, goodbye, oh, ouch

              Interjection in a Sentence:
                Alas! I am so lost without you.
                Great! You are coming with me.



                       Use of Articles


              Articles is a word that describes the noun. It is used before a noun to show whether it is specific or not. In English
              grammar there are three articles— A, An, The. Let us study about them in detail.


              Definite— The

              “The” is a definite article which is used before a noun that indicates something clear or obvious.
              For example:
                 • The sun shines bright today.
                 • Give me the book on the table.

              Indefinite— A, An

              ‘ A’ and ‘An’ are indefinite articles which are used before a noun that are not specific or known before.
                 • “A” is used before a word beginning with a consonant(alphabets other than vowels) sound.
                For example:  A book (it can be any book)
                             A game (it can be any game)

                 • “An “ is used before a word that begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) sound. For example, An umbrella, an hour, an
                ice cream.


              When No Articles are Used

                 • For common/general things. For example:
                Fruits are good for health.

                Do not eat medicines without doctor’s prescription.
                 • Before a country, continents, islands, mountains and lakes’ name. For example:

                        38    Touchpad Artificial Intelligence-X
   35   36   37   38   39   40   41   42   43   44   45
