Subject-Verb Agreement

"The quality of mangoes were not good" "His knowledge on Indian vernaculars are far beyond the common" "The president, as well as the councillors, are in a meeting" Do you feel the above sentences are correct?  These statements might sound correct but in actuality are grammatically erroneous.   Every time you answer your grandmom's question, over the phone, by saying "Everyone are fine here, How are you?" Wren and Martin turn  in their graves... You might wonder,  Why are they wrong? This is because the Subject does not agree with the verb in these statements...  In today's blog, we will be learning more about this Subject's and Verb's agreement with each other and how this international treaty, if broken,  wreaks havoc in every student's English exam and our everyday conversations  Subject-Verb agreement / Subject-verb concord basically states that the Verb must agree with its Subject in Number and Person.  If the subject...

Sustainable Lifestyles: A Need of the Hour

 Sustainable development This word has been used multiple times, almost considered trite by many students who have been studying this concept since 5th grade. Learn it, write it down in your exam, then leave it.  But have you ever considered why it might be important in our daily life? ( If your teachers and the CBSE committee pressed this concept so much to make you learn it throughout your middle school and high school, there must be something crucial in this topic, don't you think? ;) ) Stand up, go out and look around, You might see a lot of things, the brilliant blue sky, cotton candy-like clouds, smaragdine trees, melodious chirping of birds, and people going about their day-to-day life.  This must be something you see every day, nothing special whatsoever, but how would you feel if these things were taken away from you.

The Periodic Table of Elements__Mnemonic

 The Periodic Table of Elements. The heart and soul of chemistry, without which any study in  Chemistry will become enormously tedious... It's just irony that learning this same periodic table is considered as a herculean and tedious task by many students. "Why do we need to learn a whole new language?" is the cribbing and moaning of most high schoolers!  Well say no more!! Just remember " Hi, Hello Listen  BBC News on Friday Night!"  Hmm... Now, I know you are wondering how listening to BBC news is going to solve your problem. Don't worry I am not asking you to sacrifice your Friday nights, because in actuality that sentence is a mneumonic!  (To all the ones who are wondering what a MNEUMONIC is - It is a small phrase or sentence, whose first letters help in associating and remembering a concept)   In this Mneumonic, we will be considering the symbols of the elements :- Name of the element - Symbol - Mnemonic Hydrogen - H - Hi Helium - He - Hello L...
