Did you find any difference between the underlined words?
Are the underlined words same in meaning?

Yes, both the words are pronounced in the same way, but they are different in spellings and meanings, such words are called homophones.

I. Pick out the homophones from the story that sound like the words given in the box.

Answer:

write	right

II. Now, use these homophones in sentences of your own. One has been done for you.

e.g. I will come here tomorrow.
My mother asked me to hear what my sister was saying.

1. a) The cow is locally bred.
b) My brother gave me a loaf of bread.

b) After war, there comes peace.

b) His forehead is broad.

b) I write with my right hand.

Grammar

Read the following sentences.

The poor traveller is continuing his journey.
Observe the underlined words. Both the subject (The poor traveller) and the verb (is) are in the singular form. This is the way how the subject and the verb in a sentence should agree with each other. This means that the verb in a sentence must agree with the subject in number and person.

Now read the following sentences.

1. The pot is on the fire.
   
2. Several people are sitting in the eating-house.
   
3. “I am very hungry,” the poor man thought.
   
4. “You are not supposed to stand here,” the eating-house keeper told the poor man.
   
5. The poor man was walking.
   
6. The meatballs were giving a good smell.

The words underlined, show that the verb is agreeing with the subject. It means that singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs.

We use ‘is’ when the subject is singular and ‘are’ when the subject is plural. We use ‘am’ with the personal pronoun T and ‘are’ with the pronoun ‘you’ when the verb is in present tense. We use ‘was’ when the subject is singular and ‘were’ when the Subject is plural. ‘Was’ is used with the pronoun ‘I’ and ‘were’ is used with the pronoun ‘you’ when the verb is in past tense.

Activity 4

I. Complete the following sentences with is / am / are / was / were

Question 1.
I ____________ a student.
Answer:
am

Question 2.
The cows ____________ grazing in the field.
Answer:

Question 8.

Answer:

Question 9.
Vijay __________ my cousin.
Answer:
is

Question 10.
I _____________ good at drawing.
Answer:
am

II. In the present tense, nouns and verbs combine in an interesting way. Nouns take ‘-s’ to the singular to become plural. But verbs drop ‘s’ from the singular form to agree with plural subject; personal pronouns ‘I’ and ‘you’ follow the same rule as plurals.

Now fill in the blanks choosing the right form of the verbs from the brackets.

Question 1.
His classmates _____________ (study / studies) before a test.
Answer:
study

Question 2.
A lady lives ___________ (live /lives) in a distant village.

With practice, things become perfect

Oneday, the traveller passed by an eating house. He saw several people sitting around the fire, They were eating and drinking. There was cooking pot full of meat balls with delicious smell. The traveller’s mouth watered. The owner of the eating house saw this. He asked the traveller if he wanted to eat some meatballs.

అనగా అనగా ఒక యాత్రికుడు. ఆ యాత్రికుడు పట్టణపు వీధుల గుండా నడచుకొంటూ వెళు తున్నాడు. రెండు రోజుల నుంచి అతనికి ఏ ఆహారము లేదు. ఆహారం కొనుక్కోవడానికి అవసరమైన జబ్బు కూడా అతని దగ్గర లేదు. కేవలం ఒక ఎండు రొట్టె ముక్క మాత్రమే అతని దగ్గర ఉన్నది.

ఒకరోజు ఆ యాత్రికుడు ఒక భోజన గృహం మీదుగా వెళ్తున్నాడు. ఆ గృహంలో కొంతమంది నిప్పుచుట్టూ కూర్చొని ఉండడం ఆ యాత్రికుడు చూశాడు. వాళ్లు తాగుతూ, తింటూ ఉన్నారు. అక్కడ ఒక వంట పాత్రపై మాంసపు తినుబండారాలు ఘుమ ఘుమ లాడుతున్నాయి. వాటి వాసన పీల్చగానే యాత్రికుడి నోరు ఊరింది.

భోజన గృహపు యాజమాని దీనిని గమనించాడు. ‘అతడు ఆ యాత్రికుడిని మాంసపు తినుబండారాలు తినాలను కుంటున్నావా? అని అడిగాడు. అపుడు యాత్రికుడు తన దగ్గర డబ్బు లేదనీ, డబ్బు లేకుండా అతడు ఏమి తినలేనని చెప్పాడు. కొంత సేపటి తర్వాత, తన వద్దనున్న ఎండు రొట్టెముక్కనే మాంసంగా భావించి, ఎండు రొట్టె ఆరగించసాగాడు. యాజమానికి కోసం వచ్చింది.

అప్పుడు యజమాని ఆ యాత్రికుడిని న్యాయమూర్తి కచేరీకి తీసుకువెళ్లాడు. ఆ రోజున పండిత నసీరుద్దీన్ న్యాయమూర్తిగా ఉన్నాడు. నసీరుద్దీన్ ఆ భోజన గృహ యజమానిని సమస్య చెప్పమని కోరాడు. అప్పుడు యజమాని తన మాంసపు ఘుమఘుమలని ఆస్వాదించినందుకు డబ్బులు కట్టాల్సి ఉందని వాదించాడు. నసీరుద్దీన్ యాత్రికుడి అభిప్రాయం అడిగాడు. అతడు డబ్బు చెల్లించలేనని, క్షమించవలసిందిగా కోరాడు.

అప్పుడు ఆ న్యాయమూర్తి, ఆ యజమానికి తానే తిరిగి చెల్లిస్తానని చెప్పాడు. ఈ మాట వినగానే యజమానికి సంతోషం వేసింది. న్యాయమూర్తి నసీరుద్దీన్ జేబులోనుంచి రెండు పెన్నీల నాణాలను తీశాడు. ఆ నాణేలను చప్పుడు చేసి యజమాని రెండు చెవుల దగ్గరా వినిపించాడు. న్యాయమూర్తిని ఎందుకు ఆపని చేస్తున్నారని అడిగాడు. న్యాయమూర్తి నసీరుద్దీన్ మాంసపు ఘుమఘుమలకి అదే సరిపోయే చెల్లింపు అని యజమానితో అన్నాడు.
