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. Our books strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. IMAX presents the Traveller series, designed specifically to meet the requirements of the new curriculum released in November 2016 by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). Guiding principles: The 2016 CISCE curriculum states the following as a few of its guiding principles for English language teaching: Connecting learning to life in the outside world Integrating English with other subjects across the curriculum Using meaningful contexts to develop language as a whole Making assessment for learning an integral part of the teaching-learning process Ensuring active participation of children by using a variety of activities and tasks Each of these principles resonates with the spirit in which the IMAX textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books have been designed. The IMAX team of pedagogy experts has carried out an intensive mapping exercise to create a framework based on the CISCE curriculum document. Key features of IMAX Traveller series: B ooks for English are mapped to the assessment patterns of English-I and English-II in ICSE schools. The grammar concepts covered in English-I have a horizontal and vertical progression across the grades, providing a spiral of learning. T he writing sections contain a wide variety of topics with a focus on process-based writing in higher grades. T he English-II book also covers all the themes recommended by the CISCE curriculum across classes 1–5. A hallmark of ICSE English is a wide representation of authors – Indian and foreign. The Traveller series includes pieces by writers such as Charles Dickens, Rabindranath Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain among others. V ocabulary building is a key focus area for IMAX. Pictures for word meanings are included in each lesson to help students with visual clues for new or difficult words. All in all, the Traveller series aims to generate greater engagement and enhance fluency in English communication, which spans all the four skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. – The Authors NR_BGM_Traveller-G2-G&C-English-Part 1_Txt.pdf 2 11/30/2017 4:55:44 PM

Examples: Singular Plural Singular Plural baby babies enemy enemies city cities family families countries party parties country Read the following passage: This is the Patel family. Mr Patel is working in the kitchen along with his two children. His wife, Megha Patel, is doing her office work. The children bought two loaves of bread in the morning to make sandwiches.

Can you name a few things (nouns) in the room that can be counted? Nouns that name things that we can count are called countable nouns. Examples: book – we can count the number of books • a dog, three cats, an animal, one man • many bottles, a few boxes, six pens • a table, the chairs one book three books 20 11/30/2017 4:55:46 PM NR_BGM_Traveller-G2-G&C-English-Part 1_Txt.pdf 24
Remember • W hen 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 greater than one (two, three and so on) before it. Now, can you think of things (nouns) that cannot be counted? Nouns that name things that cannot be counted are called uncountable nouns. For example, we cannot say ‘one milk’, ‘two milk’ or ‘three milk’. We can say ‘a milk bottle’, ‘two milk bottles’ or ‘three milk bottles’. Here, we are counting the bottles and not the milk. Here are a few more examples of uncountable nouns. • lots of love, a lot of happiness, a little bit of sadness • a piece of furniture or luggage, a lot of homework some milk two milk bottles • a little rice or sugar, a lot of water, some milk Remember • All uncountable nouns are singular. There is no plural form for these words. • W e use words like ‘some’, ‘little’, ‘any’ or ‘much’ before uncountable nouns when we do not use any other unit.

Remember ‘Has’ and ‘have’ are doing words or action words that show belonging. • We use ‘has’ with the pronouns he, she and it. • We use ‘have’ with the pronouns I, we, you and they. • Singular nouns use ‘has’. Plural nouns use ‘have’. Exercise 5: Fill the blanks using ‘has’ or ‘have’.

4 Pronouns Pronouns We know that naming words are called nouns. A pronoun is a word that we use in place of a noun. Examples: He She Ram is a boy. Ram is five years old. Taffy is a turtle. Taffy is very old. Subject and object pronouns Most sentences have a subject and an object. The subject of a sentence is the The object of a sentence is the person or thing doing the action. person or thing receiving the action. Example: Rita ate an apple. Rita ate an apple. subject object Remember • Object pronouns replace the • P ronouns replace nouns. object in a sentence. • S ubject pronouns replace the Rita ate it. subject in a sentence. object pronoun She ate an apple. subject pronoun NR_BGM_Traveller-G2-G&C-English-Part 1_Txt.pdf 31 27 11/30/2017 4:55:46 PM

Can you help me? She is my friend. I can see him. Replacing nouns with pronouns Mohit can see Sahil. Mohit waves to Sahil. Mohit greets Sahil. Here, we can use ‘he’ in place of Mohit and ‘him’ in place of Sahil after the first time. Ans. Mohit can see Sahil. He waves to him. He greets him. Reflexive pronouns Sometimes, the subject and the object of a sentence are the same. Gaurav can fix the toy She can complete the They cooked the meal by himself. project by herself. by themselves. Such sentences use reflexive pronouns (himself, herself, themselves) to refer back to the subject (noun or pronoun) of the sentence. 28 11/30/2017 4:55:46 PM NR_BGM_Traveller-G2-G&C-English-Part 1_Txt.pdf 32
Read carefully: a) Gaurav can fix the toy truck by himself. ‘Gaurav’ is both the subject and the object of this sentence. The reflexive pronoun ‘himself’ refers to ‘Gaurav’. It means that Gaurav can fix his toy on his own. b) In the same way, in the second sentence, the reflexive pronoun ‘herself’ refers to the pronoun ‘she’. She can complete her project on her own. c) The reflexive pronoun ‘themselves’ refers to the pronoun ‘they’ in the third sentence. They cooked the meal on their own. Here are the subject pronouns and the reflexive pronouns used for them. Subject pronouns Reflexive pronouns Reflexive pronouns (Singular) (Plural) I myself – you yourself he himself yourselves she herself – itself – it – – we – they ourselves themselves Remember • S ingular reflexive pronouns are formed with ‘-self’ and plural with ‘- selves’. • When a reflexive pronoun replaces phrases like ‘on my (her/his/our/ their) own’, the preposition ‘on’ should be changed to ‘by’. Example: Namrata did it on her own. Namrata did it by herself. Pronouns 29 NR_BGM_Traveller-G2-G&C-English-Part 1_Txt.pdf 33 11/30/2017 4:55:46 PM
