STD 6 TERM 2 ENGLISH.

UNIT 14: PRIDE

THEME: VIRTUES.


Look at the tree of Virtues above.
1. Check whether you possess any of them?
2. Can you see any that your closest friend has?
3. What virtues do you think miss in a proud person?

Read the play ‘PRIDE’ IN YOUR PRIMARY English pupils’ book from page 145 -154. Try to get the meaning of the following words as used in the play.

Vocabulary:

Fever, patience, witch, recover, humility, herb, pride, bill, hate, trust, virtue, responsibility, generosity, obedience, honesty, hardworking, generous, kind, fair, trustworthy.

Language use:

  1. Use of question tags.

A question tag is part of a statement that is added to a sentence to make it a question.

Example:

You have heard about that flood, haven’t you? Haven’t you is our question tag.

Other examples:

-It is eight o’clock, isn’t it?

- You have a pen, haven’t you?

NB: the question added to the end of each statement is a question tag. It asks for the confirmation of the truth of the statement.

The answer is often ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Examples:

  • It’s an interesting book to read, isn’t it? (it is- isn’t it)
  • It isn’t an interesting book to read, is it? (it isn’t—is it)
  • You have read this book, haven’t you? (you have---- haven’t you)
  • You do your homework always, don’t you? (you do----- don’t you)
  • You don’t do your homework always, do you? (you don’t ----- do you)
  • The people had left their homes before the river overflowed, hadn’t they? (The people had------ hadn’t they)
  • Tuva had gone to the river with his mother when the crocodile attacked him, hadn’t he? (Tuva had gone------ hadn’t he)

NOTE:

When there is a negative in the sentence (-not-), It is omitted in the question tag. When there is a negative in the question tag, there is none in the statement.

Other examples:

  • He seems to be in a hurry, doesn’t he?
  • She seemed to be in a hurry, didn’t she?

NB: Verbs like seem, arrive, know, save, go, eat etc, we use doesn’t, don’t, or didn’t in the question tag. We use doesn’t and don’t when we are talking about the present.

We use didn’t when we are talking about the past.

Examples:

Mary goes to church every Sunday, doesn’t she?

Peter went to town yesterday, didn’t he?
