“Good morning, sir.”

“Good morning.”

“What are you doing?”

“I am trying to open my brief-case.”

“Is it difficult to open?”

“No, sir, sometimes it obeys me and sometimes it doesn’t. Ah! I have opened it, sir.”

“You have opened it? Congratulations. Now let me tell you briefly the difference between the present perfect tense and the past tense.

He has been to Calcutta means that he has visited Calcutta and knows the city; but he is not there at the moment.

He has gone to Calcutta means that he is in Calcutta or he is on his way to Calcutta. He is not here at the moment.

I have done my homework means that I did it sometime ago and I need not worry about it now.

I did my homework this morning. In this, I point out merely when I did my homework.

The present perfect tense and the past tense deal with some past action. You use the present perfect when you want to emphasise not the past action but its result on the present.

Please remember that the present perfect should not be accompanied by any expressions indicating past time. I stress this again as this is a common mistake. You shouldn’t say: ‘I have seen him last month.’ ‘I have seen him ten minutes ago’. I hope I have made myself clear.”

“Yes, sir. I have now a clear idea of the difference between the past tense and the present perfect tense. Could I depart a little early today?”

“Of course; you are most welcome to leave when you want to. But don’t ‘depart’. The word ‘depart’ is a formal word.

For example, in the railway timetable, you will find the arrival and departure timings of trains. But announcers at the station use the word ‘leave’. Trains leave and they don’t depart.

The Grand Trunk Express will be leaving platform number two in five minutes.

The word depart is not used in such contexts. Please say ‘He left for Delhi’ and not ‘He departed for Delhi’. When you are leaving for some place, don’t say ‘I am departing’. With human beings it is used in the sense of ‘to die’.

She has departed from life.

You don’t want to depart, do you?”

“No, sir. Not at all. How do you pronounce ‘banquet’, sir?”

“It is pronounced ‘bankwit’. It is not ‘bankwet’. The stress is on bank. You wanted to leave early. You may go now. Goodbye.”

“Thank you, sir. Goodbye.”

“Good morning, sir.”

“Good morning.’’

“Sir, is it ‘half a dozen’ or ‘half dozen’?‘

“ ‘Half a dozen’ is correct. You could also say ‘a half-dozen’. Please note that there is a hyphen in ‘a half-dozen’ but not in ‘half a dozen’. Also note that it is incorrect to say a half a dozen. I have already told you how to use the word dozen. When it is preceded by a numeral, you don’t change dozen into dozens. For example, you say,

I want two dozen apples.

It is incorrect to say I want two dozens apple or two dozens of apples.

Get me three dozen oranges.

Could I have five dozen safety pins, please?“

“What is the difference between ‘egoist’ and ‘egotist’, sir?”

“An egoist is one who thinks only in terms of his personal interest. He ‘treats self-interest as the foundation of morality’. An egotist talks too much about himself. His conversation is I-centred. An egotist is boastful but need not be selfish; an egoist is a very selfish person. Good writers and speakers preserve the distinction between the two words.”

“Sir, is it all right to end a sentence with a preposition? Some say it is wrong.”

“Well, this is a very old controversy. It has been more or less settled. A preposition generally precedes a noun or its equivalent. Generally its position is pre or before the noun or its equivalent.

Take the bottle in your hand and put the tablets into it.

She is sitting on a chair and looking at the wall.

In, into, on and at are prepositions. They are before a noun or its equivalent. However, sometimes you do end a sentence with a preposition.

Where is he from?

She has no one to play with.

He is not worth talking to.

Here the sentences read more naturally with the preposition at the end. Churchill once wrote: ‘This shouldn’t be put up with’. Some one who felt that a sentence should not end in a preposition changed it to: ‘We shouldn’t put up with this.’ Churchill scored out the modified sentence and wrote: ‘This is the kind of nonsense up with which I will not put’.

Morris Bishop wrote a witty verse on the preposition.

I lately lost a preposition:

It hit, I thought, beneath my chair

And angrily I cried ‘Perdition’!

Up from out of in under there!

And yet I wondered, what should he come

Up from out of in under for?

I hope now you are convinced that a preposition is sometimes used to end a sentence with. Let’s stop with this for today.

“Goodbye.”

“Thank you, sir, Goodbye.”

Today's Editorial (06-07-2024)

Laboured change: On the U.K. general election result
After 14 years in power, the Tories were finally voted out

In his first speech after leading the Labour Party to its best ever performance in the U.K. general election, Prime Minister Keir Starmer was clear about the task before him: to “begin the work of change” for national renewal and rebuilding the country. With a more than generous mandate — 412 seats in the 650-member House, Mr. Starmer will be virtually unchallenged inside Parliament for his agenda on “wealth creation for the working classes”, taxing higher incomes, banning fossil fuel car sales by 2030 and building a new Border control agency. It should be equally clear that more than the Labour win, this is a Conservative loss. After its 14-year run in power, five Prime Ministers and considerable turmoil, the British voter clearly chose to punish the Conservatives led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for compounded errors: from the mishandling of Brexit and the economic crisis, a failure to support public services, especially health and schooling, to a series of scandals from ‘Partygate’, pornography in Parliament and the Post Office scandal. The rising cost of living was a major campaign issue, spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the Ukraine war and post-Brexit shortages, although Mr. Sunak said that the economy had turned a corner more recently. Immigration has been another big issue. While Mr. Starmer has disavowed Mr. Sunak’s plans to send “small boat arrivals” or illegal immigrants demanding asylum to countries such as Rwanda while they are processed, he will be under pressure to do more to cut down the numbers of migrants. The remarkable performance of ultra-right wing leader Nigel Farage, who won after losing seven times, and his party, Reform UK, that won more than 14% of the vote, albeit only four seats, will be a worry on this account, with its openly xenophobic rhetoric.

For many in India, the defeat of Mr. Sunak will feel somewhat personal, given their pride in his being the first British Prime Minister of Asian origin, with Indian ancestry — a bond he affirmed as well. Despite attempts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Sunak, the India-U.K. FTA could not be taken across the finish line. All eyes will be on how quickly Mr. Starmer’s government, that criticised the delay, would be able to do so, as its priorities will be in shoring up the economy. The India-UK Roadmap 2030, signed in 2021, will no doubt be tweaked. An early visit to India by new U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy has already been outlooked by the Labour leadership, and it will be important for both countries which have completed their elections, to hit the floor running and frame their priorities for future ties.

Today's Editorial (01-07-2024)

New beginnings: On India’s ICC T20 World Cup 2024 win
Indian cricket team finally did justice to the ‘favourite’ tag

India’s long drought in ICC tournaments finally wound to a close on a glorious Saturday at Bridgetown in Barbados. The Men in Blue finally won a title, the ICC T20 World Cup, since the 2013 Champions Trophy at Birmingham in England. ‘Kapil’s Devils’ in the 1983 ODI World Cup and M.S. Dhoni’s men in the 2007 ICC World T20, were outsiders, who stunned the globe. Subsequently, every Indian squad has stepped into a multi-team cricket event as one of the favourites with the weight of expectations thrust upon by a gargantuan fandom and an Indian diaspora seeking a sense of identity. Last November in the 2023 ODI World Cup, India was the team in form but failed to get past Australia in the summit clash at Ahmedabad. If catharsis was essential, it finally happened in the West Indian islands as Rohit Sharma’s men snatched a seven-run win over a doughty South African unit. Every cog fell in place, Virat Kohli regained his touch with an excellent 76 even as wickets fell around him in the final. All-rounders Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya reiterated their value, and Suryakumar Yadav pouched a stupendous catch when South Africa was seemingly in sight of victory. Rohit led astutely while bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah delivered thunderbolts that left the South Africans dumbstruck.

Aiden Markram’s men just ran into a stronger opposition at the last hurdle and their capitulation was an acknowledgment of the superior attributes that Bumrah and company possessed. Young seamer Arshdeep Singh too revealed a mature head as Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller threatened to seize the game. South Africa is yet to win any significant ICC silverware but surely the men from the Rainbow Nation won hearts. They made it tough for India and if a few moments on the razor’s edge had changed, Markram may well have lifted the cup. For India, Rohit, Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja’s retirements from T20Is signal the end of an era. Coach Rahul Dravid, who bowed out, will be missed too. Close on the heels of the run-fests during the Indian Premier League on flat surfaces, the T20 World Cup hosted in the West Indies and the United States offered a twist. The 22-yards, drop-in pitches or abrasive surfaces, were never conducive for the massive sixes associated with T20Is even if batters like Rohit, as he did against Australia, seemed to perform on a different plane. The championship’s fairytale was the manner in which Afghanistan fought towards the semifinal. Men, who learnt cricket in the refugee camps in Pakistan, while also dealing with the Taliban, were resilient and sport was the winner.
