  Question tags are short phrases that are added to the end of a sentence to transform a statement into a question or to seek confirmation or agreement from the listener. They are used to verify information, express doubt, or elicit a response. Question tags are commonly used in spoken English. The structure of a question tag typically consists of an auxiliary verb or a modal verb followed by a pronoun that matches the subject of the sentence. The question tag mirrors the verb form used in the main clause, so if the main clause is in the positive form, the question tag is usually negative, and vice versa. Here are a few examples to illustrate the usage of question tags: He is a doctor, isn't he? (positive statement, negative question tag) You don't like coffee, do you? (negative statement, positive question tag) They have finished their work, haven't they? (positive statement, negative question tag) She can swim well, can't she? (positive statement, negative question ta...

  Active and passive sentences are two different ways of structuring a sentence in English. They convey the same information, but they emphasize different aspects of the action or the subject.   Active Sentences: In an active sentence, the subject performs the action described by the verb. The structure of an active sentence is as follows: Subject + Verb + Object. Example: The cat chased the mouse. In this example, "the cat" is the subject, "chased" is the verb, and "the mouse" is the object. The focus is on the cat as the doer of the action.   Passive Sentences: In a passive sentence, the subject receives the action described by the verb. The structure of a passive sentence is as follows: Object of the active sentence + Verb "to be" + Past Participle of the main verb + "by" + Subject (optional). Example: The mouse was chased (by the cat). In this example, "the mouse" is the object of the active sentence, "was chase...

  Connectors, also known as conjunctions or linking words, are words or phrases that connect or link different parts of a sentence or multiple sentences together. They help to establish relationships between ideas, indicate logical connections, and improve the flow and coherence of the text Types of connectors: Coordinating Conjunctions: Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, or independent clauses that have equal importance. The most common coordinating conjunctions are: And: I like coffee and tea. But: He studied hard, but he failed the exam. Or: Would you like tea or coffee? Subordinating Conjunctions: Subordinating conjunctions introduce subordinate clauses that depend on the main clause. They establish a relationship of dependence or subordination. Some examples of subordinating conjunctions include: Because: She couldn't attend the party because she was sick. Although: Although it was raining, they went for a walk. If: If you study, you will pass the test. Correla...
