= 2.1 x 101-7
= 2.1 x 10-6

3. 21600000 = 216 x 100000
= 2.16 x 100 x 100000

We should voluntarily help in this matter. More on meeting.

10. Importance of Computer

The first computer was built by Charles Babbage in 19th Century. It is being improved everyday. Earlier it was used to carry long calculations and print the results but now it is used in almost every walk of life. Computer can provide answers to complicated problems in a flash in which a man would take days or even months. It has a memory also. It can store information and use it later. Computers are used in railway stations for reservation of tickets.

It is used in offices, hospitals, for maintaining records. It is also used for billing in shops. In banks and post office also, the whole work is done on computers. Computer can be compared to human brain. It can solve problems much faster and more accurately than the human brain. It can be used to play games like chess and translate words from one language to another. But it can’t take decisions or think up new ideas. That is where it cannot compete with human brain.

कठिन शब्द –

  • complicated = कठिन
  • flash = क्षण 42
  • translate = अनुवाद
  • compete = बराबरी करन

Pollution means to make impure. The air we breathe in is polluted by means of transport. Factories, with chimneys throwing out smoke into air is the chief source of air pollution.

Air pollution not only affects human beings, it is also injurious to plants, trees and animals.

Air pollution is not the only serious problem facing mankind. Water pollution’s is also causing concern to man. The waste product from factories, thousands of liters of sewage are poured into rivers. People throw left overs of meals in lakes and ponds. In seas also fuels, minerals, food and forest products are thrown to make it polluted. To reduce the air and water pollution the government is taking necessary steps and the public should also help the government.

कठिन शब्द –

  • Pollution = दूषित करना
  • transport = एक जगह से दूसरी जगह ले जाना
  • automobiles = मोटर गाड़ी
  • minerals = खनिज
  • injurious = हानिकारक
  • concern= चिन्ता का विषय।

MP Board Class 8th Special English Grammar Time and Tense

(A) Time and Tence

1. Look at these sentences:
Kapil plays cricket.
Kapil played cricket.
Kapil ivill play cricket.

इन वाक्यों में plays, played तथा will play verbs हैं।

  1. plays present tense है तथा इससे present time का बोध होता है।
  2. played past tense है तथा इससे past time का बोध होता है।
  3. will play future tense है (किंतु modern grammarians इसे present tense कहते हैं) तथा इससे future time का बोध होता है।

इन वाक्यों से पता चलता है कि present, past तथा future tense क्रमशः present, past तथा future time का बोध कराते हैं।

By Tense we understand the correspondence between the form of the verb and our concept of time (past, present and future).

किंतु Time और Tense दोनों एक नहीं हैं। Time एक universal concept है, किंतु Tense का संबंध verb से होता है।
Time को हम तीन भागों में बाँटते हैं:
Past Time, Present Time, Furture Time

(a) Transforming interrogative into assertive

Look at these sentences:

  2. Interrogative mark की जगह full stop देते हैं;
  3. यदि interrogative sentence में not नहीं रहे तो assertive में not लगाते हैं, पर यदि interrogative में not हो तो assertive में not का प्रयोग नहीं करते हैं।
  4. कुछ ऐसे interrogative sentences होते हैं जो अर्थ के अनुसार assertive होते हैं, उन्हें rhetorical questions कहते हैं। ऐसे वाक्यों को अर्थ के अनुसार assertive में बदलते हैं। जैसे –

Isn’t India a big country?
India is a big country.

कभी-कभी affirmative से negative बनाने के लिए double negative (negative + negative) की आवश्यकता पड़ती है। आप जानते हैं कि double negative = affirmative.
