Chapter Overview
Class 5 grammar consolidates sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, articles, and question formation. Learners identify subjects and predicates, use a/an/the correctly, and transform statements into questions and negatives — skills tested in CBSE periodic assessments.
Sentence Structure
- Subject: who or what the sentence is about
- Predicate: what the subject does or is
- Simple sentence: one subject + one predicate
Articles and Agreement
- a before consonant sound: a university
- an before vowel sound: an hour
- Singular subject takes singular verb: The list is long.
Transformations
- Statement → question: She is ready. → Is she ready?
- Negative: add not/does not: He does not like lies.
- Question words: what, where, when, why, how
