Preface IMAX Program 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 Program presents the latest version of this series – updated and revised after considering the perceptive feedback and comments shared by our experienced reviewers and users. This series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the prescribed board curriculum. Our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. Listening, speaking, reading and writing (LSRW) are fundamental skills for any language, and students’ mastery over them is key to success at school. All these skills frequently need to be used together. Therefore, the English textbooks and workbooks strive to provide adequate opportunities for students to practise all the four LSRW skills. To this effect, the English textbooks and workbooks offer the following features:  T heme-based literature pieces across classes 1-5  Samples of Indian writing in English as well as popular English literature pieces from western countries  P ictures for word meanings in each lesson to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words  S upplementary literature pieces (without questions and answers) 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 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 ALP_G4_ENG_WB_Part 2.indb 2 20-11-2018 18:21:29

Subject-verb agreement A sentence is made up of three parts. Sentence Subject Verb Object It is what or whom the sentence is about; it is somebody or something It is the action that It is the thing or the person who the subject does. is acted upon or receives the who/that does the action. action. Now, read the following sentences. • He cook dinner for his family. • The girls walks to college every day. • Your sister talk a lot for her age. • The children swims well. You will notice that all these sentences seem odd. They just do not sound correct! Identify the subjects and verbs in these sentences. You will find that they do not go together. Remember • In a correct and meaningful sentence, the subject should be in line with the verb. This means that 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. 8 20-11-2018 18:21:34 ALP_G4_ENG_WB_Part 2.indb 8

Rule 2 Two singular subjects connected by ‘or’, ‘either... or’ or ‘neither... nor’ require a singular verb. However, if one of the two subjects is plural and is closer to the main verb than the singular subject, then the verb will be plural. Examples: • Either my brother or sister has made the bed. • My uncle or aunt is arriving today. • Neither Mary nor her children want to go to the park. Rule 3 Use a plural verb with two or more subjects connected by ‘and’. Examples: • Kabir and these children are friends. • Meher and Mihir go to school together. Remember • W e add ‘-s’ to make nouns plural and remove the ‘-s’ to make them singular. However, with verbs, it is the opposite. With verbs, we need to add ‘-s’ to make them singular and remove the ‘-s’ to make them plural. • U  se the helping verbs ‘is’, ‘does’ and ‘has’ with singular nouns. • U  se the helping verbs ‘are’, ‘do’ and ‘have’ with plural nouns.

Let us now correct the sentences we read earlier.  He cook dinner for his family.  H  e cooks dinner for his family. ‘He’ is a singular subject, so the singular verb ‘cooks’ should be used.  Your sister talk a lot for her age.  Your sister talks a lot for her age. A gain, ‘sister’ is a singular subject that goes with the singular verb ‘talks’.  The girls walks to college  The girls walk to college every day. every day.  The children swims well. ‘Girls’ is a plural subject, while ‘walks’ is a singular verb. To correct the sentence, we should use ‘walk’, which is a plural verb.  The children swim well.
