Corruption, Bribe

--u --..?

- Malan Shereen Imran, Kothagudem.

Q: 1) The teacher have the children write the
alphabet.
2) Ramu has Raju to write the notes for him.
Here my doubt is in the first sentence the
underlined word (have) isn't followed by
to. Whereas in the second sentence (Raju
has...) the underlined word is followed by
to - Please clarify.
A: The teacher has (not 'have') the children
write the alphabet. This means that the
teacher makes the children write the alphabet.
The sentence, 'Ramu has Raju to write the
notes for him' has a different meaning. It
means 'Raju is there to write the notes for
him'. ( o V q -.)
Because the meanings are different, in the
first sentence 'has' is not followed by to, and
in the second, 'has' is followed by 'to'.
Q: Preaching to others is easy but translating it
into action / but bringing it into action is
difficult - Please say the above is right or
wrong.
A: '..... but bringing it into action is difficult' Wrong. You can say, 'but practising it is difficult'.
Q: They will resort to corruption to be offered
to God/ to be offering to God - Which one
is correct?
A: Neither of the sentences is correct. The correct form is: They will resort to bribing God
/ offering bribe to God. Understand the difference in meaning between 'corruption'
and 'bribe'. Corruption = Illegal /dishonest
behaviour. Bribe = Giving money or gifts to
make somebody do something for you.
Q: Let it be going on - Can we use Let + pronoun + be + present participle?
A: Let it be going on - This can be used, but
the better and more common way of saying
it is, 'Let it go on'. Usually 'Let' is followed
by the plain infinitive, that is, infinitive
(Infinitive examples: to go, to do, to sing,
etc. - To before a verb form) without 'to'
before it. (verb to - C plain
infinitive -C.)
Q: Shall I go now? - Is this imperative sentence or interrogative sentence?
A: Shall I go now? - can be either interrogative, if it is a question, or imperative if it is
a request for permission - depends on the
context.
