Grammar Transformation: 6. பாடம் மாணவர்களால் புரிந்துகொள்ளப்பட்டது. (Passive voice construction: Object + ஆல் + Verb in past participle + ஆனது/பட்டது). Mark: 1 Teaching Note: Identify Subject (மாணவர்கள்), Verb (புரிந்துகொண்டனர்), Object (பாடம்). Swap S and O, add 'ஆல்' to subject, change verb to passive form.

  1. அவன் வேகமாக ஓடினான், எனவே அவன் முதலாவது வந்தான். (Combining with 'எனவே' showing cause and effect). Mark: 1 Teaching Note: 'எனவே' (therefore/so) connects the reason (ran fast) to the result (came first). Ensure comma usage.

  2. நான் புத்தகம் வாசித்தேன். (Past tense marker 'த்' + 'ஏன்' for first person singular). Mark: 1 Teaching Note: Present tense 'வாசிக்கிறேன்' -> Past tense 'வாசித்தேன்'. Verb root 'வாசி' + past tense suffix 'த்' + PNG marker 'ஏன்'.

  3. இது எவ்வளவோ அழகான மலர்! OR அது ஒரு அழகான மலர் ஆகும்! (Exclamatory structure using 'எவ்வளவோ' or 'ஆகும்' with exclamation mark). Mark: 1 Teaching Note: Exclamatory sentences express strong feeling. Common pattern: 'எவ்வளவோ + adjective + noun + !'

  4. ஆசிரியர் கேட்ட கேள்விக்கு மாணவரால் பதில் அளிக்கப்பட்டது. (Passive voice: Subject becomes 'மாணவரால்', verb 'அளித்தார்' -> 'அளிக்கப்பட்டது'). Mark: 1 Teaching Note: Active: S (மாணவர்) V (அளித்தார்) O (பதில்). Passive: O becomes subject, S becomes agent with 'ஆல்', Verb becomes passive (அளிக்கப்பட்டது).
