Each of the boys is — SVA. Comparative-superlative tables — degrees. Because-clause tree — conjunctions/clauses. Hindi visheshan — kriya-visheshan. Synonym lists — apna extra.

Countable / uncountable

Gino → countable: book/books, many, a few, a. Mat gino → uncountable: water, advice, furniture, information, news, luggage — much / a little, generally a nahi. news look plural, verb singular: The news is…. scissors / trousers / police plural.

Gender: masculine (king), feminine (queen), common (child, teacher), neuter (book, table). Actor–actress, hero–heroine — list chhoti; job noun hi rehta.

  • Objective — object: I saw Ram. / preposition ka object: with Ram

Pronoun — jagah, dobara naam nahi

my vs mine: my ke baad noun chahiye (adjective/determiner). mine akela (pronoun).

it's / its: it's = it is / it has (It's raining / It's been a year). its = uska, apostrophe nahi (The cat licked its paw). who's = who is; whose = kis ka. Yahan possessive vs contraction; spotting fingerprint wahi.

who / whom: who = subject (Who came?). whom = object (Whom did you meet? / to whom). Informal keys kabhi Who did you meet; Class-X formal object pe whom.

this: This is mine — pronoun. This book — adjective/determiner. Same spelling, job alag.

Solution

Non-finiteFormJob is sentence mein
Infinitiveto + V1I want to swim. — swim yahan noun-sa object of want

Preposition — object ke bina nahi

Preposition apne object (noun/pronoun/gerund) se pehle baithta hai: on the roof, with her, after eating. Object nahi to aksar adverb: Please come in (in = adverb). in the room (in = preposition).

Simple: at, by, for, from, in, of, on, to, with, since, after, before. Compound/phrase: into, upon, because of, in spite of, in front of. Lambi list aur time-place traps — prepositions extra.
