How to make V1
            Is         = be
            Are      = be
            V5       =V1
            Has      = have
            Have    = have
            V2       = have + V3
            Was     = have been
            Were    = have +V3
            Had     =had been
 

7.1 MUST, MIGHT, MAY & CAN'T

Rules:
Must  =  I am sure
             Sub + must + V1 + Obj.
Can’t =  I am Sure + not
            Sub + can’t + V1 + Obj.
Must (P) & Can’t (N)
Sure, certain, confirm, obviously, convince
May/might
Perhaps, maybe, it is possible, in future, I think, probably
 
May/might = Perhaps
            Sub + may/Might +V1 + Obj.
Perhaps + not
May not/Might not

Change the sentences below, using must,  can't and might/may.
1. I’m sure he is working.
            He must be working.
2. Perhaps he is going to ask me.
            He might be going to ask me.

            They can’t have been waiting long.


7.2 WORKING IT OUT

Rule:
  • Match first Side A questions with Side A answers.
  • If it has positive reply, use MUST and if it gives negative reply use CAN’T with the questions.
  • Then add the Side B answers with BECAUSE.
[Structure: Sub + must/can’t + V1 + obj       + because +      Side B snswer.]

1. Did he go abroad?             =          He hasn’t got passport.
            He can’t have gone abroad because he hasn’t got a passport.

2. Has he been working hard?                       =          He looks exhausted.

            He can’t be an Indian because he has got fair hair.

5. Has the meat gone off?                  =          It smells terrible.
            The meat must have gone off because it smells terrible.

6. Is he talking on the phone?                        =          The line’s engaged.
            He can’t be talking on the phone because the line’s engaged.

7. Is the table an antique?                  =          It only cost him £15.
            The table can’t be antique because it only cost him £15.

8. Is it his birthday?                           =          He got a lot of post this morning.
            It must be his birthday because he got a lot of posts this morning.

9. Has he been made redundant?       =          He was only promoted last week.
            He can’t have been made redundant because he was only promoted last week.

Q. Continue the sentences below with a deduction.
Rules:
A:        given sentence
B:         So + sub + must + V1 +obj.
            So + sub + can’t + V1 + obj.
1. He has got a lovely suntan.
            So he can’t be living indoors.
            So he must have been sunbathing.

2. She is driving a Mercedes.
            So she can’t be poor.
            So she must be very rich.

3. They didn’t come to the party.
            So they can’t have been free.
            So they must have been very busy.

4. He isn’t wearing a uniform.
            So he can’t be going to school.
            So he must be going to market.

5. She speaks excellent French.
            So she must be French
            So she can’t be Nepali.

6. I can hear music next door.
            So they must be dancing.
            So they can’t be reading.

Physics: Simple Harmonic Motion - SHM

Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) What is Periodic motion? The motion which repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion . For example: the motion of planets and satellites, vibration of springs, motion of pendulum, motion of different hands in watch etc. What is Simple Harmonic Motion? The periodic motion in which particle moves to and fro (back and forth) such that the acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to the displacement from mean position and directed towards the mean position is called simple harmonic motion. i.e. for SHM, a ∝ y ( where y is the displacement from mean position) or, a = −ky ..........................(i) (Where, k is proportionality constant. Negative sign shows that the acceleration opposes the displacement from mean position.) SHM in terms of uniform circular motion(Characteristics of SHM): Equation of SHM: Consider a particle moving in a circular orbit having centre at O and radius r with uniform angular velocity ω. Let P...

Progressive Wave and its Equation - Physics Grade XII

Progressive Wave A progressive wave is defined as one in which the wave profile moves forward with the wave's speed. Both transverse and longitudinal waves are progressive waves. In a progressive wave, the amplitude and frequency of particle vibrations are the same, but the phase of the vibration varies from point to point along the wave. Progressive Wave Equation Suppose that the wave moves from left to right with a displacement velocity of v in which each article vibrates with a simple harmonic motion. However, when compared to the motion of the particle o at the origin O (at x = 0), subsequent particles to the right have phase lag. The vibrating particle's displacement y at origin O is given by, y = a sin  ω t      ........ (1) where 'a' is amplitude, 't' is time: ω  = 2πf, is the angular velocity, where f is the frequency of vibration. Consider a particle P at distance x from the origin as in fig. Φ be the phase lag of the particle P and λ be the wavelength....

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency Table of Contents What is Doppler’s Effect? A. Source in motion and observer at rest: a. Source moving towards the observer: b. Source moving away from the observer: B. Observer in motion and source at rest: a. Observer moving towards the source: b. Observer moving away from the source: C. Source and observer both are in motion: a. Source and observer approaching each other: b. Source and observer receding each other: c. Source leading the observer: d. Observer leading the source: Doppler’s Effect summarization Doppler’s red shift: Limitations of Doppler’s effect: What is Doppler’s Effect? When there is a relative motion between the source of a sound and observer, the frequency or pitch of the sound received by the observer is different than the actual frequency or pitch. This phenomenon is called Doppler’s effect. The apparent change in pitch or the frequency of sound due to relative motion between source of sound and ob...
