Class 10th

Here are some Hyperbole which are commonly used in day to day conversation:

·       I am so hungry that I can eat everything in the fridge.

·       I am so late that by the time I reached there were cobwebs on my desk.

·       My heart did a backflip!

·       I cried so much watching the movie that there was a small pool in front of the couch.

Kids these days have such heavy school bags that am sure they carry stones instead of books.

Hyperbole is used to emphasise an information and to take it to a dramatic height. Hyperboles are also used as a comic relief to lighten up the mood. This figure of speech also brings out the creativity and imagination of the writer or the speaker.

Hyperbole is a type of Figure of Speech or a literary device which aims at exaggeration and overemphasizing a fact or information or scenario to amplify the impact and to create a sense of drama. Hyperboles are not only widely used in literature, but also in day to day life, advertisement and copywriting, etc. For example, It is raining so heavy that I will have to row a boat to reach office.

A sentence in English follows a subject-verb-object structure, in most cases. Sentences also contain elements like complements, adjuncts, and phrases, which further modify or expand its structure. Example:

Subject: The noun or pronoun that performs the action

Verb: The action word

Object: The noun or pronoun that receives the action

Example: The baby [subject] kicks [verb] the ball [object].

A Sentence in English language is a group of words that lead to some meaning. A sentence is complete in itself and expresses a general idea, pose a question, provide a suggestion, make an order or request, among others. Example: The dog sat on the mat. (Noun=dog, verb=sat, object=mat)

Yes, there are two exceptions or special cases in terms of narration in grammar. These are:

• When a universal truth is stated, the tense remains the same in direct as well as indirect narration. 

For example:

She said, "The water boils at 100 degree celcius."

She said that the water boils at 100 degree celcius. 

• The tense does not change whent he reporting verb is in the present or future tense. 

Narration change means, it is the process of switching between direct and indirect narration. It involves changing the structure and words while reporting someone's speech. One needs to know the narration rules to make these changes correctly and for clear communication and conversation.
