Preface IMAX partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX presents the latest version of the Alpine series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. Designed specifically for state board schools, the Alpine series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the State Curriculum Framework and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005. Therefore, our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. NCF 2005 asserts that listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are all generalised skills, and students’ mastery over them is key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the Alpine English textbooks and workbooks strive to provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all the four LSRW skills. To this effect, the Alpine English textbooks and workbooks for state board schools offer the following features:  T hemes recommended by the NCF across grades 1–5 in the literature pieces  S amples of Indian writing in English as well as popular English literature pieces from western countries  Pictures for word meanings in each lesson to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words  N on-detailed lessons to enable additional reading  A speaking project and two reading comprehension passages in each unit to further hone speaking and reading skills  Horizontal and vertical progression across grades for the grammar concepts covered in the workbooks, providing a spiral of cumulative learning  S amples of format-based writing to provide for scaffolding of learning of formal writing Overall, the IMAX Alpine English textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books aim to generate greater engagement with and enhance fluency in English language communication and empower students to develop a genuine appreciation of the language and its literature.  – The Authors NR_BGM_Alpine-G4-Workbook-English-Part1_text_New.pdf 2 2/7/2018 11:14:54 AM

Language in Use Countable and uncountable nouns Look around your classroom. Can you name a few things (common nouns) in the room that can be counted? Now, can you think of things (common nouns) that cannot be counted? Countable nouns: These nouns refer to things that we can count using numbers such as one, two, three and so on. Examples: book – we can count the number of books. one book three books Here are some more countable nouns: • a dog, three cats, an animal, one man • many bottles, a few boxes, six pens • a table, a couple of chairs Remember: • When a countable noun is singular, we use ‘a’, ‘an’,‘the’ or the number 'one' before it. • When a countable noun is plural, we use words like ‘many’, ‘a few’ or numbers more than one (two, three) before it. Uncountable nouns: These nouns refer to things or concepts that cannot be counted. For example, we cannot say ‘one milk’, ‘two milk’ or ‘three milk’. We can say ‘one milk bottle’, ‘two milk bottles’ and ‘three milk bottles’. Here, we are counting the bottles and not the milk. Here are some more examples of uncountable nouns: • lots of love, a lot of happiness, a little bit of sadness • of furniture or luggage, a lot of homework • a little rice or sugar, a lot of water, some milk Remember: some milk two milk bottles • All uncountable nouns are singular. There is no plural form for these words. • We use words like ‘some’, ‘little’, ‘any’ or ‘much’ before uncountable nouns when we don't use any other unit. 18 2/7/2018 11:14:55 AM NR_BGM_Alpine-G4-Workbook-English-Part1_text_New.pdf 22

Grammar Present participle and past participle What is common among the following words? run  sing  dance  climb  play  cook  get  thin  come All of them are verbs. In a sentence, verbs tell us what someone or something is doing. Example: The children are playing in the garden. The word ‘playing’ tells us what the children are doing. Verbs have different forms. The form of a verb that shows past or present action is known as a 'participle'. There are two types of participles in English: Participles Present participle (-ing) Past participle (-d, -ed) Verbs in the past tense Verbs in the simple past tense show actions that have already happened. • He cooked dinner yesterday. • Salma decided to study for her exam. 30 NR_BGM_Alpine-G4-Workbook-English-Part1_text_New.pdf 34 2/7/2018 11:14:55 AM

Past participle The past participle form of verbs is used with ‘have’ or ‘has’. It shows something that started in the past but is continuing until now. Present participle The present participle form of verbs is made by adding '-ing' to the base forms of verbs. It is used to show an event that is continuing in the present. Let’s now look at the present participle and past participle forms of some regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs Base form Present participle Simple past Past participle laugh laughed start laughing laughed started stay stayed wash starting started washed Base form staying stayed Past participle do done go washing washed gone drawn draw Irregular verbs driven drive flown Present participle Simple past eaten fly put eat doing did cut put cut going went drawing drew driving drove flying flew eating ate putting put cutting cut Exercise 3.1: Complete the table with the correct verb forms.

Now, read the following sentences: • I are on the bus. l The dogs chases the cat. Is something wrong with these sentences? Don't they sound incorrect? 42 2/7/2018 11:14:56 AM NR_BGM_Alpine-G4-Workbook-English-Part1_text_New.pdf 46

In the first sentence, the helping verb ‘are’ does not go with the subject ‘I’. Similarly, the verb ‘chases’ (singular) has been used incorrectly with the subject ‘dogs’(plural). Remember: In a correct and meaningful sentence, the subject should be in line with its verb. In other words, the subject and the verb should agree. This is known as subject-verb agreement. Rules of subject-verb agreement Rule 1: A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a plural subject takes a plural verb. Examples: • The boy throws a ball.  • The boys throw a ball. In other words, the subject and the verb must agree in number. Rule 2: Two singular subjects connected by ‘or’, ‘either...or’ and ‘neither...nor’ require a singular verb. However, if one of the two subjects is plural and is closer to the verb than the singular subject, the verb will be plural. Examples: • My uncle or aunt is arriving today. • Neither Mary nor her children want to come to the park. • Either my brother or sister has made the bed. Rule 3: Use a plural verb with two or more subjects connected by ‘and’. Examples: • Kabir and Suman are friends. • Meher and Mihir go to school together.

Language in Use Present perfect tense Afreen has finished her painting. I have seen the movie. You have passed your exam. These sentences show actions that have just finished in the present. Such actions are written in the present perfect tense. The present perfect tense links the present and the past. • It talks about completed actions (past) that are important now or reported news. • It also talks about actions or situations that have started in the past and continue in the present. Examples: • I have passed the exam. • He went to India in 2012. He has lived there ever since. Remember: A sentence in the present perfect tense looks like this: subject + have/has + past participle form + object Present perfect tense vs. simple past tense We often incorrectly use simple past tense in place of present perfect tense. Let us compare the two tenses to understand their correct usage. Present perfect tense Simple past tense Structure Structure Subject + has/have + past participle form of Subject + past tense form of verb + object verb + object Example: Example: I ate a mango yesterday.
