D. Grammar:
D.1.Sequence of tense.
Look at the following sentences carefully.
One day Mangal fell ill. So Suraj had to fish alone.
Mark that the second sentence is in the past perfect because an action took earlier in the past (Mangal fell ill). In other words, the Past Perfect is used for an action that was completed before another action in the past.
Now note how the tense of verbs in the subordinate clause depends on the tense of the verbs in the principal clause.
I shall wait here if you come timely.
She would attend the class if the teacher allowed her.
He would have informed the police if anyone had tried to blackmail him.
The first sentence follows the structure.

If the verbs in the principal clause is in the future tense, the tense of the verbs in the sub-ordinate clause should be in the simple present tense.
“I shall wait here if you come timely.” Can be rewritten as :
If you come timely I shall wait here. Now we see the second sentence.

If the verbs in the principal clause is ‘would + V the verbs in the sub-ordinate clause should be in the simple past tense.
Now, we study the tense of verbs in the third sentence.

If the verbs in the principal clause are ‘Would have + V3….., the verbs in the sub-ordinate clause should be in the past perfect tense.
We can also study the following sentences:

In first sentence we learn:
If the verb of the principal clause is in the present or future tense, any tense may be used in the sub-ordinate clause.
In second sentence :
If the verb of the principal clause is in the past tense, it must be followed by the past tense in the sub-ordinate clause. The past tense in the sub-ordinate clause may be either simple past or past perfect as per the meaning needed.

D.1.1. Complete each sentence using Past Perfect or Past Simple.
1. She ……. (go) out before it………. (start) raining.
2. I ……… (find) the key before he …….(break) the lock.
3. The patient….. (die) before the doctor ….. (come).

Q. Add one word more to each of the above pairs that rhymes with the words in the pair.
Ans. rest – west

D. Grammar :
D.1.Making comparisons
Read the following line from the poem :
The simplest things in life are best.

In the above sentence the word ‘simplest’ and ‘best’ are in superlative degree.
Usually when we add ‘est’ to words like simple, tall, near, brave, fine, small, great etc., they are said to be in their superlative form. When we add ‘er’ to them they are in their comparative form. For example:
small                    smaller              smallest
tall                        taller                   tallest
great                    greater                greatest
near                     nearer                 nearest

Q. Now, change the following words in their comparative and superlative forms.
rich                   Ans. richer                  richest
poor                          poorer                 poorest
dark                          darker                  darkest
bright                       brigher                 brightest
old                           older                      oldest
young                      younger                youngest
simple                     simpler                 simplest

Now look at comparative and superlative forms of the following words.
Positive           Comparative         Superlative
good                 better                      best
bad                   worse                     worst
little                 less                         least
much               more                        must

Here you see that new words have come in their comparative and superlative forms and ‘er’ or ‘est’ has not been added to them.
Words of more than one syllable take comparative and ‘most’ in superlative form.

Examples:
Beautiful                    more beautiful                most beautiful
intelligent                   more intelligent              most intelligent
laborious                    more laborious                most laborious
useful                         more useful                     most useful

Q. Write down the comparative and superlative forms of the words given below.
difficult                 Ans. more difficult                most difficult
favourite                        more favourite               most favourite
dangerous                     more dangerous             most dangerous
careful                            more careful                   most careful
learned                            more learned                 most learned
