1. English grammar refers to the rules and structure of the English language including word classes, phrases, clauses, sentence structure, negation, and history.
2. There are two main approaches to grammar - descriptive grammar studies how language is actually used while prescriptive grammar focuses on defining correct usage.
3. The earliest published English grammar was in 1586, but English grammars were often written in Latin for many years due to the influence of Latin grammar in education.
There are four Strategies to Help Improve Vocabulary. First is through using context clues. Second, is through the use of word structure. Third is through visual-aural association. And lastly, through the use of dictionary, which is the most used strategy to help improve vocabulary.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Descriptive grammarians generally advise us
not to be overly concerned with matters of
correctness: language, they say, isn't good or
bad; it simply is. As the history of the
glamorous word grammar demonstrates, the
English language is a living system of
communication, a continually evolving affair.
Prescriptive grammarians prefer giving

29. History of English Grammar
The first published English grammar was a
Pamphlet for Grammar of 1586, written by
William Bullokar with the stated goal of
demonstrating that English was just as rule-
based as Latin. Bullokar's grammar was
faithfully modeled on William Lily's Latin
grammar, Rudimenta Grammatices (1534), used
in English schools at that time, having been
"prescribed" for them in 1542 by Henry VIII.
Bullokar wrote his grammar in English and used
a "reformed spelling system" of his own
invention; but many English grammars, for
much of the century after Bullokar's effort, were
written in Latin, especially by authors who were
aiming to be scholarly.
30. History of English Grammar
John Wallis's Grammatica Linguae Anglicanae
(1685) was the last English grammar written in
Latin.
Even as late as the early 19th century, Lindley
Murray, the author of one of the most widely
used grammars of the day, was having to cite
"grammatical authorities" to bolster the claim
that grammatical cases in English are
different from those in Ancient Greek or
Latin.
