FOREWORD
Punjab School Education Board has always endeavoured to provide
the students with most contemporary and appropriate content through regular
review. This book aims to develop four basic skills of English language
teaching : Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, along with the necessary
elements of grammar and vocabulary. The present book has been designed in
such a way so as to promote the much-needed skills, along with developing
cultural awareness, dictionary skills and promote reading of supplementary
materials.
The Punjab School Education Board has been instrumental in providing
the best platform for English language teaching to the entire populace of
school students. New and updated syllabi has been prepared for classes I to
X. New textbooks prepared on the basis of revised syllabi are presently being
used by all the schools in Punjab. The book, in hand, is a composite book for
Senior Secondary classes XI and XII.
The language teaching for class XI And XII includes course books,
‘The Panorama of Life’ for class XI and ‘A Rainbow of English’ for class
XII. Through “English Grammar and Composition for Senior Secondary
Classes” we aim to develop the communicative abilities of the students from
rural as well urban background. The topics have been carefully chosen to
match the interests of the current generation of learners who are globally
aware and sufficiently exposed to the contemporary trends. The book covers
a wide range of topics from international areas as well as those closer to
home. Emphasis has been on providing the students with variety of expressions
to use the language as a tool of effective communication in their academic as
well as professional field. For practice, the exercises are given at the end of
each chapter. This book has been prepared under the guidance of Director
Academics, written by Major Pardeep Kumar (Retd.), Recognised Trainer-
Department of Personnel and Training, New Delhi (Lecturer English-Govt.
Senior Secondary School, Bhim Nagar, Moga). It has been vetted by Mrs.
Prabhjot Kaur, Deputy Director SCERT, Punjab.
We would gratefull welcome comments and suggestions from teachers,
experts and students as well to improve this books further.

PREFACE
'English Grammar and Composition for Senior Secondary Classes' is
intended for students of Senior Secondary Classes. I hope that the learners as
well as the teachers find it useful. This book is a comprehensive illustration of
various aspects of English grammar in very clear, modern and contemporary
English with numerous examples. This book is prepared to help the students to
use the language as an effective tool of communication.
This book will cater to the needs of the Senior Secondary school students
who pursue their studies in their native language. Grammar and vocabulary
items are explained through relevant contexts, rather than in isolation. The
tasks and activities are extremely motivational and encouraging, and cater to a
mixed ability group of learners. This was done to sensitise our learners as to
where they go wrong while using the language. Activities are built in such a
way as to encourage real-life use of the language. There are ample numbers of
exercises on almost each point discussed and explained. Extensive end-of-chapter
exercise sets provide the opportunity to practice style & composition principles
and encourage readers to apply them to their own writing.
This book has been an honest effort to come up as a trustworthy friend,
who comes to you, sits with you and speaks to you in intimate terms, explains
what all you should know to use the language as a natural flow of your thoughts.
I wish to express my gratefulness to the Chairman, Punjab School
Education Board, for being a pillar of strength through his consistent motivation
and encouragement.I would also thank Mrs. Manjit Kaur, Director Academic,
P.S.E.B. Mohali and Mrs. Prabhjot Kaur, Deputy Director, SCERT, Punjab for
their valuable guidance and fruitful insights in drafting this book.
I would like to acknowledge the valuable contribution of all members
of the Textbook Development Committee and many other teachers for their
inputs in the prepration of this grammar.
Suggestions for improvement by large hearted readers and well-wishers
shall be gratefully accepted.
Major Pardeep Kumar (Retd.)
