120 rules of grammar pdf by nimisha bansal.pdf


1. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL RULE01: Difference between “Each” and “Every” 1.They are always followed by a singular verb. Examples:- (I)Each student is very talented. [Singular verb is used]
(II)Each of my students is very talented. [Singular verb is used]
2. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL In sentence (I), “each” performs the function of Adjective (words used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns). The word it describes is the noun “student”. In
sentence (II), “each” performs the function of Pronoun (word that is used instead of a noun or noun phrase). In both the cases, we use the singular verb “is”. *NOTE: Each refers to a plural number of
people or items, but it considers each person or item as an individual or dissimilar unit, it does not consider the group collectively. [Individualistic Approach]
3. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Every also refers to a multiple number of people or items; but it considers these people or items as part of a similar collective group. [General Approach] *NOTE:
“Each” can play the role of both “Pronoun” and “Adjective”. However, “Every” is used as an “Adjective” only. Examples:- (I)Every student is very talented. [Correct] (II)Every of my students is very
talented. [Incorrect (X)]
4. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL In sentence (I), “Every” is used as an Adjective. The word it describes is the noun “student”. In sentence (II), “Every” is used as a Pronoun which is incorrect. *NOTE:
“Each” is used for two or more than two items or people but “Every” is used only for more than two items or people. We cannot use “every” for exactly two things (In such case, “every” can be replaced
by “both”). Examples:- Each person on this earth has to die one day. [more than two persons]
5. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Every person I know has watched the movie. [more than two persons] He has a book in each hand. [Correct] He has a book in every hand [Incorrect](Every cannot
be used with two things] *NOTE: "Every", but not "each", can be used with abstract nouns. Examples:- They have every reason to be happy with their new home. [Correct]
6. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL They have each reason to be happy with their new home. [Incorrect] RULE02: “Both” and “not” cannot be used together. In such case, we can use “Neither…nor”
which is used when we want to say that two or more things are not true. Examples:- Both Ram and Shyam are not going to visit this place. [Incorrect] Neither Ram nor Shyam is going to visit this place.
[Correct]
7. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL This is a war which both sides cannot win. [Incorrect] This is a war which neither side can win. [Correct] *NOTE: “Neither” allows us to make a negative statement
about two people or things at the same time. “Neither” goes before singular countable nouns. We use it to say “not either” in relation to two things. RULE03: Usage of Relative Pronouns – who, whom,
which and that. (1) “Who” and “whom” are mainly used for people. However, these pronouns can also be
8. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL used to refer to animals that are mentioned by name and domesticated by people (i.e. Domestic Animals). Examples:- The witnesses whom I interviewed gave
conflicting evidence. [Used for people] The people who just boarded the plane are in a rock band. [Used for people] The vacuum scared our dog Rocky, who was sleeping on the rug. [Used for a pet] (2)
“Which” is used for animals in general or things (i.e. Non- domestic Animals and Non- living things).
9. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Examples:- Vinita visited the park with a dog, which likes to chase squirrels. [Used for an animal] The bomb, which killed 15 people, was the worst of a series of
terrorist outrages. [Used for a non-living thing] (3) “That” can be used for people, animals or things (i.e. No restrictions) Examples:- The car that Jasprit bought runs on electricity and gas. [Used for a
thing]
10. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL The musician that won the award is Indian. [Used for a person] The dog that is chasing the squirrels belongs to Brijesh. [Used for an animal] *NOTE: All, any, the
only , the same, none, much, none , much, no, the little, the few, something, anything, nothing and superlative degrees are all followed by “that” only. They cannot be followed by “who” or “which”
Examples:- This is the same book which you were reading. [Incorrect]
11. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL This is the same book that you were reading. [Correct] This is the same person that I want to marry. He spent up the little amount which he had.[Incorrect] He
spent up the little amount that he had. [Correct] This is the best that I can do for you . *NOTE: “Whoever” vs. “Whomever”: (1)Whoever is a subjective pronoun. It serves as a subject of a verb. Examples:-
12. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Whoever is hungry can have the leftover pizza. (Whoever is the subject of the verb is, like "He is hungry.") Give the package to whoever comes for it. (Whoever is
the subject of the verb comes, like "He comes for it.") I am happy with whoever wins. (Whoever is the subject of the verb wins, like "He wins.") Whoever is also correct as a subject complement, with
linking verbs such as is, are, and will be. Examples:- Whoever it was did not leave her name.
13. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Whoever they are, I like their confidence. (2) Whomever is an objective pronoun. It serves as an object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:- Please invite
whomever you choose. (Whomever is the object of the verb choose, like "You choose him.") Whomever Kate marries is none of our business. (Whomever is the object of the verb marries, like "Kate
marries him.") I am eager to work with whomever Dale selects as my partner. (Whomever is the
14. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL object of the verb selects, like "Dales selects her.") RULE04: There are three types of conditional sentences: TYPE CONDITION I condition possible to fulfill II
condition in theory possible to fulfill III condition not possible to fulfill
15. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. (too late) Let’s understand their form:
TYPE IF - CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE I Simple Present will-future or (Modal + infinitive) shall/can/may/must + V1 II Simple Past would + V1 or,
16. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. could/might/should + V1 III Past
Perfect would + have + past participle (V3) or, could/might/should + have + past participle (V3) Examples:- If I study, I will pass the exam. [Type I] If I studied, I would pass the exam. [Type II] If I had
studied, I would have passed the exam. [Type III]
17. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. If your files are in order you may/can
leave at once. If you want to lose weight you must eat less fat diet . If I lived near my metro station I would be in time for work. If I were you I would plant some saplings round the house. If we had found
him earlier we could have arrested him saved the crime. Had you obeyed orders this fire accident would have been averted. *NOTE: The given rule is not applicable in the case of universal truth.
18. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Examples:- If water reaches 100 degree
celcius, it boils. [Universal truth] If you heat water, it turns into vapour. [Universal truth] RULE05: The general rule for usage of the phrase "one of the" is: “One of the + PLURAL NOUN + that/who etc. +
SINGULAR/PLURAL VERB”
19. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. So, the noun following the phrase
"one of the" is always a plural noun The RELATIVE PRONOUN (WHO/THAT/WHICH) is absolutely crucial here: (1)When the relative pronoun “who/that” is not used – i.e. if "one of the NOUNs" is actually
the SUBJECT of the verb - then we use a singular verb. Examples:- There are many birds on the tree. One of the birds is red. [“One of the birds” is used as the Subject]
20. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. (2) When the relative pronoun
“who/that” is used – i.e. if "one of the NOUNs" is not actually the SUBJECT of the verb - then we use a plural verb. Examples:- (I)That is one of the birds that fly over my house at night. (II)She is one of
the mothers who are really working hard to make both ends meet. In sentence (I), “that” acts as the subject for the verb "fly", and “that” in this sentence
21. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. refers to birds (plural noun) and thus,
“fly” (plural verb) is used. In sentence (II), “who” acts as the subject for the verb "are", and “who” in this sentence refers to mothers (plural noun) and thus, “are” (plural verb) is used. (3)If the sentence
follows the form, “The only one of the + PLURAL NOUN + WHO/THAT etc.”, a SINGULAR verb is required. Examples:- Rina is the only one of the girls who has ever been to India. [Singular verb]

which is interesting. [Singular verb] RULE06: If there is a combination of “Number + Unit + Noun” or, “Number + Unit + Adjective” in a sentence, we always use the singular form of the Unit. Examples:-
He saw a ten inch snake. [Unit – Singular] She gave me two five hundred rupee notes. [Unit – Singular]
23. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL *NOTE: If there is a combination of “Number + Unit” in a sentence, a singular Unit will be used if the sentence is not self explanatory , otherwise a plural Unit will
be used if the sentence is self explanatory. Examples:- He had five dozen. [Singular Unit]{ Not self explanatory, hence we have used a singular noun} I have five rupees. [Plural Unit]{Explanatory ; hence
we have used a plural noun}
24. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. *NOTE: In a sentence, if there is more
than one Unit, Units are always arranged in ascending order. Examples:- Thousands of lakhs of students took the test. [Units arranged in ascending order] Note: Students take a test and teachers give a
test. *NOTE: Use of words like “handful, glassful and fistful” as measuring units: Such units are called arbitrary units Singular Plural Handful Handfuls
25. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Glassful Glassfuls Fistful Fistfuls
Spoonful Spoonfuls Mouthful Mouthfuls Cupful Cupfuls Examples:- He pulled out a handful of coins from his pocket. [Unit – Singular] I use two handfuls of pasta per person. [Unit – Plural]
26. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Drink a glassful of water with this
medicine. [Unit – Singular] She drank two whole glassfuls of orange juice. [Unit – Plural] He has a fistful of acting awards. [Unit – Singular] All of a sudden we just started having fistfuls of money. [Unit –
Plural] RULE07: Expressions of time, money, speed, weight, height and distance, when used or covered in one way, usually take a Singular verb. However, when these expressions are used or covered in
various ways, a Plural verb is used.
27. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Examples:- (I)Ten miles needs to be
covered completely on foot. [Singular verb] (II)Ten mile need to be covered partly by car and rest on foot. [Plural verb] In sentence (I), the complete distance (i.e. ten miles) has to be covered by just one
means (i.e. on foot), thus a singular verb “needs” is used. In sentence (II), the complete distance (i.e. ten miles) has to be covered by two means (i.e. by car and on foot), thus a plural verb “need” is used.
28. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. (III)Five thousand rupees is his salary.
[Singular verb] (IV)Five thousand rupees were spent on food and entertainment. [Plural verb] (V)Six weeks is not long enough. [Singular verb] (VI) Five kilograms is his weight. RULE 08: Certain cases of
comparisons:
29. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Examples:- (I)Gold is more precious
than all metals. [Incorrect] (II)Gold is more precious than any other metals. [Correct] Look at the above two examples carefully; in the first sentence, “Gold” is itself a metal and is being compared with
all metals which include even gold as a metal. Thus, at a point of time, the meaning of the sentence becomes – “Gold is more precious than gold”, which makes the sentence wrong. However, in the
second case, gold is compared with any other metals, which
30. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. means gold is precious than any metal
other than gold. This makes the statement meaningful and logical. (III)Diamond is more precious than all metals. [Correct] The above sentence is correct as Diamond being a non-metal is compared to
all metals. (IV)Kalidasa was more famous than all English poets. [Correct] (V)Kalidasa was more famous than all poets. [Incorrect]
31. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. In sentence (IV), Kalidasa is compared
with all English poets, which is correct as Kalidasa was not an English poet. However, in sentence (V), Kalidasa is compared with all poets, which include even Kalidasa. This makes the sentence wrong
or meaningless. RULE09: Prepositions of Time: “Since” and “For”.
32. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. The words “for” and “since” are used
in sentences where the speaker wants to talk about something that started in the past and continues into the present. The preposition “for” is used to talk about an amount of time or space. The
amount of time could be seconds, minutes, hours, days, months or even years. The amount of time does not need to be exact. For is used for “duration” Since is used to denote “Point of start”
33. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. The preposition “since” is used to refer
to a point of time. “Since” can refer to a point after a specific time or event in the past or, it can refer to a particular point beginning sometime in the past and continuing until the present time. The
particular point in time could be anything – last Tuesday, 2008 or midnight. Examples:- He has been here for 6 months and still cannot speak a word of German. [for + a period of time] I've only known
her since the beginning of last week. [since + a particular point in time]
34. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. He has been learning English since
childhood. *NOTE: “for” is used to specify a period of time while “since” is used to specify a particular point in time. *NOTE: Only the Perfect Tense or Perfect Continuous Tense is used before “since”
and “for” when they denote time.. Examples:- It has been raining since 8 a.m. [Present Perfect Continuous Tense]
35. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. I have had this watch since 1965.
[Present Perfect Tense] *NOTE: “since” is always followed by “Simple Past” tense. Examples:- I had been waiting for him since the time I had completed my graduation. [Incorrect] I had been waiting for
him since the time I completed my graduation. [Correct]
36. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. RULE10: When two actions occurred in
past, the action which happened earlier is denoted by using Past Perfect Tense and the action which happened later is denoted by using Simple Past Tense. Examples:- He had finished the work after we
had met him. [Incorrect] He finished the work after we had met him. [Correct] The patient died before the doctor arrived. [Incorrect] The patient had died before the doctor arrived. [Correct]
37. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. I finished the book after I had returned
from college. RULE11: We use a Possessive Adjective (my, our, his, her, their, your) before a Gerund. Examples:- I hope you don’t mind me borrowing your car. [Incorrect] I hope you don’t mind my
borrowing your car. [Correct] In the above examples, notice that the only difference is ‘me’ versus ‘my’. “My” is the possessive form of the pronoun ‘I’ or ‘me’. For example, “my book” and “my idea” are
38. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. possessives. The book and the idea
belong to me. “Me” is the objective case of the pronoun. Thus, the second example is correct—the sentence that uses the possessive “my” because we use a possessive before a Gerund and “borrowing”
is a gerund. Here “borrowing” plays the role of a noun. “Gerund” as a noun ------------> When V1+ING is used I know his reading every night has helped him pass the test. [Possessive and Gerund – focus is
on reading]
39. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. I hope you don’t mind my staying with
you next week. [Possessive and Gerund – focus is on staying] My father doesn't like my going outside with Ram. RULE12: Law of Inversion: Inversion means putting the verb before the subject. It is a
literary technique in which the normal order of words is reversed, generally for emphasis or special effect. Two types of Inversion: (1)Partial Inversion
40. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. (2)Complete Inversion Structure of
Sentence (Normal Sentence): “Subject + helping verb + Main verb + …” Examples:- My students are working very hard. [Normal sentence] I have never seen such a beautiful place. [Normal sentence] In
case of inversion, we start a sentence with the helping verb instead of the Subject.
41. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Structure of Sentence (Inversion):
“Helping verb + Subject + Main Verb + …” Examples:- Never have I seen such a beautiful place. [Inversion] In the given example, inversion is used to emphasize the fact that in my whole lifetime I have
not seen such a beautiful place. We generally use Inversion when we begin the sentence with an Adverb.
42. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Examples:- Rarely did he go there.
[Adverb + helping verb + subject + main verb + …] Seldom have I seen such a beautiful view. [Adverb + helping verb + subject + main verb + …] Consider the above two examples, whenever we begin a
sentence with an Adverb, Law of Inversion is followed, according to which Adverb will always be followed by a helping verb. And whenever the Adverb is followed by a helping verb, we call that a Partial
Inversion.
43. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. In the case of Complete Inversion, a
main verb is used after the Adverb. Examples:- Here comes the King! [Adverb + main verb + …] There goes all our money! [Adverb + main verb + …] *NOTE: The case of “No sooner…than…” No sooner
had I entered the class when it began to rain. [Incorrect] No sooner had I entered the class than it began to rain. [Correct]
44. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. In the above two examples, “No
sooner” is used as an Adverb which is followed by a helping verb “had”. But it is to be noted that “No sooner” always comes with “than” and not with “when”. *NOTE: Some more examples:- He never
goes to temple. Neither she does. [Incorrect] He never goes to temple. Neither does she. [Correct] In the above examples, the first part of the sentence is complete. In the second part, the
45. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. sentence is starting with an adverb
“Neither” which will follow the law of inversion. Thus, the helping verb “does” will come before the subject “she”. RULE13: Whenever we use normal places like school, college, church, bed, table,
hospital, market, prison, jail, court, temple, mosque, university etc. for primary purpose (for which they are being made), the article “The” is not used before them. But when these places are used for
secondary purpose, the article “The” is used before them. Examples:-
46. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. Children go to school every day.
[Primary purpose] He goes to temple. [Primary purpose] His home is just beside the temple. [Secondary purpose] We go to church on fridays. [Correct] We go to the church on fridays. [Incorrect] The

RULE14: Whenever adverbs like “No sooner”, “Hardly”, “Scarcely”, etc. are used in the beginning of a sentence, they are always followed by a helping verb.

always followed by “when”, while “No sooner” is followed by “than”. RULE15: Use of Reflexive Pronoun as the Object of a sentence.
49. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. The object of a sentence is the person
or thing that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question “whom” or “what”?. There are certain words which are always followed by an object: enjoy, avail, absent, pride, adjust, reconcile,
acquit, amuse, resign, avenge, exert, apply, adapt, etc. When these words are not followed by an object in the sentence, we use the reflexive pronouns as their object. Examples:- (I)He enjoyed himself at
the party. [Object]
50. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. (II)She availed herself of the
opportunity and thus got a promotion. [Object] (III)They enjoyed picture last evening. [Object] (IV)The former IPS officer acquitted himself effectively. (V)He absented himself from the class In the first
sentence, the reflexive pronoun “himself” does the function of an object. It can be understood by finding the answer of, “He enjoyed whom?” – “himself”. Similarly, in the second sentence, the word
“availed” is followed by the object “herself”.
51. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. However, in the third example, the
word “enjoyed” is followed by the object “picture”. Thus we do not need to put a reflexive pronoun as its object. *NOTE: There are certain words which are not followed by reflexive pronouns as their
object: “keep, stop, turn, qualify, bathe, move, rest, hide, etc.” Examples:- He hid himself in the room. [Incorrect] He hid in the room. [Correct] She has qualified herself for the post. [Incorrect]
52. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. She has qualified for the post.

[Incorrect] He hid in the cave and thus saved his life. [Correct]
53. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. In the given examples, we cannot use
the word “himself” as the word “hid” is not followed by a reflexive pronoun. RULE17: Whenever the two subjects are connected by “as well as, together with, along with, and not, in addition to, like,
unlike, with, rather than, except, no less than, nothing but, more than one”, the verb agrees with the first Subject. Examples:- John, as well as Mary, wants to drop the course. [Singular verb]

asking me many questions. [Singular verb] The publisher, as well as the writers, has come. [Singular verb] The club members, along with his owner, were arrested. [Incorrect] The club members, along
with his owner, was arrested. [Correct] He, and not his friends, are found guilty. [Incorrect] He, and not his friends, is found guilty [correct] In the given examples, the Subject prior to “as well as” is
Singular, so a singular verb
55. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. “wants” is used. Similarly, in the
second case, “Ram” is a singular Subject which requires a singular verb “keeps”. *NOTE: We follow the same rule (i.e. the verb agrees with the first Subject) when two subjects are connected by
“governed by”, “accompanied by”, “but”, “besides”, “led by”, “run by”, etc. Examples:- California, along with Florida, is among the most popular US tourist destinations.

are usually done between the same things. So whenever we compare, we compare Subjective case to Subjective case and Objective case to objective case. Examples:- 1.My parents scold me more than
he. [Correct] 2.My parents scold me more than him. [Correct] 3.She is taller than me [INCORRECT] 4.She is taller than I[Correct]

first case, the subjective case “my parents” is compared with the subjective case “he”. If we elaborate the meaning of the sentence, it would be – “My parents scold me more than he does.” In the second
case, the objective case “me” is compared with the objective case “him”. If we elaborate the meaning of the sentence, it would be – “My parents scold me more than they scold him.” Both sentences 1
and 2 are correct but they have different meanings.

[Incorrect] She likes chocolates more than I. [Correct] In the first sentence, we cannot compare “chocolates” with the objective case “me”. Chocolates cannot be compared with a person. So “me” is
wrong However, the second sentence compares a subjective case with another subjective case. She is compared to I Hence it is correct.

more frequently than she[Correct] In the above examples, there is no object, so we cannot use an objective case. RULE20: Who vs. Whom? “Who” is used as a subjective pronoun, and “Whom” is used as
an objective pronoun. That simply means that “who” is always as a subject to a verb, and that “whom” is always working as an object in a sentence. As simple and important as that distinction is, many
63. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. people have difficulty deciding on the
proper usage of “who” and “whom” in sentences. To clear this doubt, simply substitute the personal pronoun “he/him” or “she/her” for “who/whom.” If he or she would be the correct form, the proper
choice is “who”. If “him” or “her” would be correct, use “whom.” Examples:- Mrs. Dixit consulted an astrologer whom she met in Sonpur. [She met him in Sonpur.] Jack is the man whom I went fishing
with last spring. [I went fishing with him.]

Substitution is particularly helpful in cases such as this. They thought he might win.] Some more examples:- She is one of the professors who I think is a mathematician. He is the man whom everyone
admires.

can be seen in the second sentence. I want your favour, will you please help me? [Incorrect] I want favour from you, will you please help me? [Correct]
67. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. The first sentence is grammatically
incorrect as we cannot use “your favour”. However it can be written as “favour from you”, as in the second sentence. His mention in the story received great applause from audience. [Incorrect] Mention
of him in the story received great applause from audience. [Correct] The first sentence is grammatically incorrect as we cannot use “His mention” as “his” is also a Possessive Adjective. However, the
first sentence can be rewritten to make it grammatically correct without
68. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. altering its meaning, as can be seen in
the second sentence. At his sight the robbers fled. [Incorrect] At the sight of him, the robbers fled. [Correct] *NOTE: Possessive Case: your, his, her, my, their, our, its, etc. RULE22: We use “each other”
and “one another” to show that each person in a group of two or more people does something to the others. There is very little difference between each other and one another. “Each other” is
69. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. generally used for two people while
“one another” is used for more than two people. Examples:- All citizens should love each other. [Incorrect] All citizens should love one other. [Correct] In the first sentence, “all citizens” refer to more
than two people. So, “each other” should be replaced by “one another”, as in the case of second sentence.

[Peter helped Mary and Mary helped Peter] We sent one other Christmas cards. [We sent them a Christmas card and they sent us a Christmas card] *NOTE: Difference between “other” and “another”:
Other is an adjective meaning 'different' or 'the second of two items'. Other can be used with singular or plural nouns. Other can also be a pronoun to refer to things or people. The plural form is others.
However, When we use ‘an’ before ‘other’, we write it as one word: another. It means
71. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. 'additional' or 'one more'. Another can

of inversion will be followed. Examples:- (I)Seldom or never he comes to my house. [Incorrect] (II)Seldom or ever he comes to my house. [Incorrect]

phrase “Little or nothing”: The phrase “Little or nothing” means “Hardly anything”. In this case also, we can either use “Little or nothing” or “Little, if everything”, but we cannot use “Little or
everything”.

“Although”, meaning “in spite of something”, is a subordinating conjunction. This means that the clause which it introduces is a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete.
Sometimes

[Correct] (III)He told me that the honey is sweet. [Incorrect] (IV)He told me that the honey was sweet. [Correct] In sentence (I), the sentence is incorrect because “honey is sweet” is a universal truth and
should be written in Simple Present Tense in indirect speech as well. This makes the statement (II) correct. In sentence (III), the sentence is incorrect because “the honey is sweet” is not a universal truth
as “the honey” denotes a particular type of honey. Thus, the indirect
110. . ENGLISH WITH NIMISHA BANSAL Use code: “NBLIVE” to avail 10% off on unacademy plus subscription. FOR ANY QUERY CALL OR WHATSAPP AT 9953592800. statement should follow the tense
form of main clause as correctly done in statement (IV). *NOTE: Sequence of Tenses suggests that if the principal clause of the sentence is in Past Tense, subordinate clause will also be in the Past Tense.

[Correct] All except he liked the performance. [Incorrect] All except him liked the performance. [Correct] In the first sentence, “but” plays the role of preposition, so it must be followed by a pronoun of
objective case. Similarly, “except” in the third sentence is a preposition which should be followed by the pronoun of objective case. *NOTE: “But” plays the role of both “Conjunction” and “Preposition”.

so objective case is used after it. RULE42: (1) In case of pronouns as the Subject, when all the three persons are used as the Subject of the sentence and are connected by ‘and’, the sequence of 231 of the

records in today’s match. [Correct] (II)I want wet water. [Incorrect] Water is already wet and we all know it. Hence this sentence contains extra words and superfluousness error is there. I want water.

always “wet”, so we cannot use these two words together as it will give us the superfluous meaning. (III) Suppose if you won the Oscar, what would you do? [Incorrect] Suppose you won the Oscar, what
would you do? [Correct] In the above example, the usage of 'if' with 'suppose' is superfluous. Hence, either 'suppose' or 'if' should be used.

baggage. [Correct] 'Bag and baggage' is an idiom which means 'with all belongings'. Hence, using ‘with’ with the idiom is wrong.

possessive sign with each subject denotes that at least two cars are being decorated one of Ram and other of Shyam (i.e. Ram’s car and Shyam’s car), so a plural noun “cars” is used and it will take a
plural verb. RULE50: Some common errors of Possession: We often make mistake by using “it’s” in place of “its”. Both these terms have separate meanings. “It’s” denotes “It is”, while “its” denotes
possession.
