Following are the questions. make sure to answer with complete explanation and ample of examples so that i can understand the topic well.

Hello, Hina Shahid.

I've just read your post, and I must say I find it shocking. Many people come to these forums daily looking for someone who will do their homework. The regular posters here, however, do not do other people's homework.

I can understand ~~to some extent~~ the children and teenagers who come here asking us to do their homework. At least, I don't find their requests unusual. But you wish to be a teacher; you're studying to become one. And that's why I find your post shocking. At the very beginning of it you ask for "some help and guidelines", but soon after that you want complete explanations plus examples. This is a personal opinion, but don't you think this is cheating, in a way? And I mean cheating on yourself! Suppose we do your homework (which is not likely to happen) and make you happy. Who will make your students happy the day they ask you what the difference between transitive, intransitive and linking verbs is? Or the day they get confused because they see a proper noun used as a common noun?

Since you're taking this course, you surely have a few books you can consult. Why don't you have a look at them and try to find the answers to your questions? Then, once you've posted something that shows you are really trying, I'm sure many of the people here will be willing to help. Part of what you are asking is very basic grammar, so my advice is: give it a try. Imagine we are your students here and you have to prepare a lesson on the topics you've posted. I trust you'll be able to come up with something good.

0There is no '01i00atleast02i00' as a single-word form. Use 01i00at least02i00 in all cases; you have no choice.0-
