Section D: இலக்கணம் மற்றும் மொழிமரபுகள் (Grammar & Language Conventions) (9 Questions, 15 Marks)
Fill in the blanks with the correct word. (Questions 12-16)
-
Answer: சென்றேன் [1 mark] Explanation: The word "நேற்று" (yesterday) indicates past tense. Therefore, the verb must be in the past tense. "சென்றேன்" means "I went," which is the correct past tense form for the first person singular (நான்).
-
Answer: இருக்கிறார்கள் [1 mark] Explanation: The word "இப்போது" (now) indicates present tense. Therefore, the verb must be in the present tense. "இருக்கிறார்கள்" means "they are," which is the correct present tense form for the third person plural (அவர்கள்).
-
Answer: போவோம் [1 mark] Explanation: The word "நாளை" (tomorrow) indicates future tense. Therefore, the verb must be in the future tense. "போவோம்" means "we will go," which is the correct future tense form for the first person plural (நாங்கள்).
-
Answer: அழகான [1 mark] Explanation: The word "புத்தகத்தை" (book) is a noun. We need an adjective to describe the noun. "அழகான" is an adjective meaning "beautiful." "அழகாக" is an adverb meaning "beautifully." So, "அழகான புத்தகம்" (beautiful book) is correct.
-
Answer: பெரிதாக [1 mark] Explanation: The word "பெய்தது" (rained) is a verb. We need an adverb to describe how it rained. "பெரிதாக" is an adverb meaning "heavily" or "a lot." "பெரிய" is an adjective meaning "big." So, "மழை பெரிதாக பெய்தது" (It rained heavily) is correct.
Rewrite the sentences correctly. (Questions 17-20)
-
Answer: நான் ஒரு ஆப்பிள் சாப்பிட்டேன். (The sentence is already correct.) [2 marks] Explanation: The sentence is grammatically correct. "ஒரு" is the correct indefinite article (a/an) in Tamil. The verb "சாப்பிட்டேன்" (I ate) is in the correct past tense and matches the subject "நான்" (I).
-
Answer: அவன் பள்ளிக்குப் போகிறான். [2 marks] Explanation: The original sentence "அவன் பள்ளி போகிறான்" is missing the dative case marker "-க்கு" (to). In Tamil, when you go to a place, you must add the suffix "-க்கு" to the place name. So, "பள்ளி" (school) becomes "பள்ளிக்கு" (to school). The correct sentence is "அவன் பள்ளிக்குப் போகிறான்" (He is going to school).
-
Answer: நேற்று நான் பூங்காவில் விளையாடினேன். (The sentence is already correct.) [2 marks] Explanation: The sentence is grammatically correct. "நேற்று" (yesterday) is correctly placed at the beginning. "பூங்காவில்" (in the park) uses the locative case marker "-இல்" (in). The verb "விளையாடினேன்" (I played) is in the correct past tense and matches the subject "நான்" (I).
-
Answer: இது ஒரு புதிய புத்தகம். [2 marks] Explanation: The original sentence "இது ஒரு புது புத்தகம்" uses the incorrect form of the adjective "புது" (new). The correct adjective form is "புதிய" (new). So, the correct sentence is "இது ஒரு புதிய புத்தகம்" (This is a new book).
