3 Alphabets (        ) A Venn diagram showing The modern English alphabet consists of 26 letters, and they are the Greek (left), Cyrillic (bottom) known as Latin alphabet. The word “alphabet” itself came from and Latin (right) alphabets, which the Latin word “alphabetum, ” and this Latin word came from the share many of the same letters, Greek words ‘alpha’ and ‘beta.' The English alphabet has 26 letters that start with ‘a’ and end with ‘z’. Each letter of English alphabet has two forms: capital and small letters. Large letters are often called Capital Letters. Sometimes, they are also called caps. Small and large letters together: Large letters: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z Small letters: a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z Sometimes, small letters are called lowercase letters, and capital letters are called uppercase letters. These terms are used during the old days of printing before the computer because the old metal blocks for setting type were kept two different cases, one is lower case for small letters, and another is upper case for large letters. All of the 26 alphabets are classified into vowels and consonants. From these 26 letters, five letters are vowels, and the remaining 21 letters are known as consonants. Vowels: A, E, I, O and U are called vowels. Vowels are speech sounds created by the open configuration of the vocal tract. By pairing with consonants, vowels make syllables. Examples of vowels in words: Sat, egg, diagram, ultrasonography, etc. Here, in the word ‘sat,' a is the vowel. In ‘egg,' e is the vowel. In ‘diagram,' a, and i, are the vowels. Similarly, in the word ‘ultrasonography,' a, o, and u are the vowels. Consonants: Apart from vowels, rest of the alphabets are called consonants. A consonant must pair with (a) vowel(s) to make a syllable. Without pairing with vowels, consonants can’t make any syllable. So, the consonant is the basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed, and it can be combined with vowels to make syllables.

4 Example of consonants: a) Carry. C, r, r, and y are the consonants. b) Story. s, t, r, and y are consonants. c) Earning. r, n, and g are consonants. Word What is Word A word is a letter or a group of letters that have meaning when spoken or written. It’s a speech sound or combination of sounds that may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes. Words may be classified according to their meanings, uses, and actions, but it is very tough to define exactly. Example: o Good o Look o Come The words mentioned above provide meanings. So, they are examples of the word. Sentence To make a meaningful sentence, many elements must be read If we call them Elements of Sentence. Subject: Subject means person who is working. The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about is called the subject of the sentence like - (1) A boy lived in the village. (2) He liked his lessons. (3) Her parents sent her to school. Verb: Verb means verb that does action. A word that refers to an action is called a verb. (1) Munni sing a song. (2)They see the bird. Object: Object means material. That is, the subject or karma with which the action is completed

5 (If we ask a verb \"Whom' or 'What' the answer we get is an object) - (1) Boys see the cow (2) I am eating food (3) They saw him. CHECK YOURSELF Look at the examples below & fil in the gaps : 1. I enjoy music . Subject: ________ Verb:_______ Object:________ 2. Rahim is swimming . Subject: ________ Verb:_______ Object:________ 3. She is eating an apple .

Subject: ________ Verb:_______ Object:______ __ Make sentences using these verbs & objects: VERB cooking eat playing Doing OBJECT A cake food cricket homework Write “YES” if there is an object & “NO” if there isn’t: o I like singing . ______ o He likes playing cricket with his friends .______ o He lives in London.______ o I go to school . ________ What is the sentence called? A combination of words that makes a complete sense called a sentence

6 But if the clear meaning is not expressed by the words then the sentence cannot be said. For example –  The bird is flying in the sky . it is a sentence  But, The cow is flying in the sky - it is not a sentence. (Because, cows cannot fly in the sky.)  The boy is eating rice - this is a sentence.  But, Eating rice is the boy - this is not a sentence.  Again, A man is going.- This is a sentence Again, if the words are not in proper order, the meaning is not clear and the sentence is not made. For example-  Goes home he is not a sentence  He rice eat is not a sentence.  In plays the field he - this is not a sentence.
