Conversation vs Communication

Communication:
- A broad process of sending and receiving messages.
- Can be verbal or non-verbal (e.g. gestures, facial expressions, writing).
- One-way or two-way.
- Example: A teacher giving instructions, a text message, body language.

Conversation:
- A type of communication.
- Usually informal and verbal.
- Always two-way (involves turn-taking).
- Example: Chatting with a friend, discussing ideas in a group.
Changing Verbs into Nouns (Nominalisation)

When we add a suffix to a verb, we can change it into a noun. This process is called nominalisation.

These nouns often describe:
- an action
- a result
- a state

Common suffixes:

1. -ion / -tion / -sion
- Added to many verbs to form abstract nouns.
- Examples:
- communicate β†’ communication
- educate β†’ education
- decide β†’ decision
- confess β†’ confession

2. -ment
- Often used to form nouns showing results or states.
- Examples:
- develop β†’ development
- achieve β†’ achievement
- treat β†’ treatment

3. -ance / -ence
- These suffixes also form nouns showing a state, quality, or action.
- Examples:
- appear β†’ appearance
- perform β†’ performance
- differ β†’ difference
- exist β†’ existence

4. -ing (Gerund form)
- Verbs ending in -ing can also act as nouns.
- Examples:
- swim β†’ swimming
- read β†’ reading
- paint β†’ painting

Examples in sentences:
- Education is important for success. (educate β†’ education)
- His performance was impressive. (perform β†’ performance)
- Reading helps improve your vocabulary. (read β†’ reading)
-er to verbs, and how we use it to describe people who do certain actions or jobs.

Adding -er to Verbs

The suffix -er is commonly added to verbs to form nouns. These nouns usually refer to:

1. A person who does a specific action or activity
2. A person who has a particular job or role
3. Sometimes, a tool or device that performs an action

This process also helps us name people based on what they do.

Examples:

- teach β†’ teacher (a person who teaches)
- run β†’ runner (a person who runs)
- write β†’ writer (a person who writes)
- sing β†’ singer (a person who sings)
- work β†’ worker (a person who works)
- drive β†’ driver (a person who drives)
- farm β†’ farmer (a person who farms)
- build β†’ builder (a person who builds)

Other examples with tools/devices:
- print β†’ printer (a device that prints)
- mix β†’ mixer (a tool used for mixing)
- open β†’ opener (a tool that opens something)

Notes:
- The root word is usually a verb.
- Adding -er changes the verb into a noun (a person or thing).
- Spelling may change slightly for some words. For example:
- write β†’ writer (drop the silent "e")
- run β†’ runner (double the final consonant)

Examples in sentences:
- My sister is a talented singer.

The farmer works from sunrise to sunset.
- We need a new printer for the office.
- He’s a fast runner and wins many races.
Common suffixes related to forming nouns from verbs or describing people by their roles, actions, or professions, just like -er:

1. -or
Used like -er to describe a person who does an action.
Examples:
- act β†’ actor
- invent β†’ inventor
- direct β†’ director

2. -ist
Describes a person with a specific skill, profession, or belief.
Examples:
- art β†’ artist
- science β†’ scientist
- piano β†’ pianist
- journal β†’ journalist

3. -ian
Often used for people in certain professions or expertise.
Examples:
- music β†’ musician
- history β†’ historian
- magic β†’ magician

4. -ant / -ent
Also forms nouns for people who do an action.
Examples:
- assist β†’ assistant
- attend β†’ attendant
- study β†’ student
- reside β†’ resident

5. -ee
Refers to the person who receives the action.
Examples:
- employ β†’ employee (person who is employed)
- train β†’ trainee (person being trained)
- interview β†’ interviewee

6. -ship
Used to show state or condition (not for people, but still related to nouns).
Examples:
- leader β†’ leadership
- friend β†’ friendship
- member β†’ membership

7. -ness / -ity
Used to form abstract nouns (qualities or states).
Examples:
- happy β†’ happiness
- active β†’ activity
- kind β†’ kindness

All these suffixes help expand your vocabulary by forming related nouns from verbs, adjectives, or other nouns.
Assalamualaikum and hello lovelies,

When we talk about vehicles in English, we usually use either "in" or "on" β€” and it depends on the kind of vehicle and how we use it.

We use "in" when we’re talking about smaller, enclosed vehicles β€” like a car or a taxi. Basically, if you sit inside it and it feels like a small space, we say "in."
For example:
– I'm in the car.
– She got in the taxi.

But for bigger vehicles or ones where you can walk around or share the space with lots of people β€” like a bus, train, or plane β€” we say "on."
So you'd say:
– He’s on the bus.
– They got on the train.
– We’re on the plane.

And here’s something interesting: we also say "on" when we’re talking about things you sit or ride on, like bikes, motorcycles, or even horses.
Examples:
– She’s on a bike.
– He’s on his motorcycle.
– The kid is on a scooter.

Why is it like this? English kind of sees cars and taxis as private, enclosed spaces β€” so you're "in" them. But buses, trains, and bikes are more open or public, so you're "on" them.

So just remember:
– in a car
– in a taxi
– on a bus
– on a train
– on a plane
– on a bike
– on a horse
Basic knowledge :

These three words all relate to the end of life, but we use them differently depending on the sentence and meaning.

died – this is the past tense of the verb "die." It tells us that someone or something stopped living.
Example: My grandfather died last year.
You’re using it to say when the person passed away.

dead – this is an adjective. It describes someone or something that is no longer alive.
Example: The bird is dead.
You’re not saying when it happened, just that the bird is no longer living.

death – this is a noun. It is the event or the concept of life ending.
Example: His death was a shock to everyone.
You’re talking about the fact or the event of dying, not the action or the condition.

To sum it up simply:
- died = the action (He died last week.)
- dead = the state (He is dead.)
- death = the event or idea (We talked about his death.)

They all mean something similar, but how you use them depends on what you’re trying to say.
Some examples :

died (past tense verb – shows the action of dying)
1. My pet cat died peacefully in her sleep.
2. His grandfather died when he was just a child.

dead (adjective – describes someone or something that is no longer alive)
1. The battery is dead, so my phone won’t turn on.
2. They found a dead bird on the sidewalk.

death (noun – refers to the event or concept of dying)
1. Her sudden death shocked the entire family.
2. We were talking about life and death during the class discussion.
Uncommon topic :

A timeless verb is a verb used to talk about something that is always true β€” it doesn’t change with time. These are usually found in the simple present tense and are used when we’re stating facts, general truths, or natural laws. We call them "timeless" because they’re not tied to the past, present, or future β€” they’re always true, no matter when you're talking.

For example:
– The sun rises in the east.
That’s a fact. It doesn’t matter if it’s today, tomorrow, or ten years ago β€” the sun always rises in the east.

– Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
This is a scientific fact. It’s always true under normal conditions.

– Cats hate water.
This is a general truth based on common behavior. It's not about one specific cat at one time β€” it's something we accept as generally true.

You’ll often see timeless verbs used in science books, news headlines, proverbs, or when someone is explaining how the world works.

So in short:
A timeless verb is just a simple present verb that describes a fact or truth that stays the same over time.
Basic knowledge :

constantly means something happens all the time, non-stop, or very frequently. It often feels like it never ends β€” and sometimes it can even be annoying or tiring.

Examples:
– He constantly checks his phone during dinner.
– It’s been constantly raining for three days.
Here, constantly means something happens again and again with very little break.

consistently means something happens in the same way over time, or it’s steady and reliable. It’s more about regularity and dependability, not frequency.

Examples:
– She consistently gets good grades.
– He trains consistently, so he’s getting stronger.
In these examples, it means the person does something regularly and with the same effort or result.

Quick way to remember the difference:
– constantly = how often (non-stop, frequent)
– consistently = how reliable or steady (same quality or effort over time)

So if your friend is constantly late, it means he’s late all the time.
If he’s consistently late, it means he’s late in a regular, predictable way β€” like always 10 minutes late.

During the UBBI, don't be shaken up and try to take deep breaths. Think of it as a daily-life conversation when you talk with your speaking partner.
