A cook and his master

-
                                                              A cook and his master A clever cook and his ready wit A cook once roasted a duck for his master. The roast looked so delicious that the cook could not resist the temptation and ate up one of the drumsticks. When the master sat down to eat, he quickly noticed the missing of the leg and asked him about the other leg. The cook told him that the duck has only one leg. The master was not to be fooled and so said that there was no such thing as one legged duck. The cook insisted that the duck had one leg only. The master was very annoyed. At that moment the cook looked out of the window and saw that one of the ducks was standing one one leg and had the other leg folded inside. He drew the attention of his master and showed him that some ducks have indeed one leg. The master clapped his hands loudly and the duck put down the other leg as well and ran off. At that time the master looked at the cook and the cook said that the master

The cobbler laughed and said, "I earn enough to make both ends meet." The rich man said, "I think you are in great distress." The cobbler said, "I am happy to lead such life."

Active and Passive Voice

-
Image
Active voice: When the verb of a subject is active  its own, then we can say  it  an active voice. Examples: I do the  work. Karim eats rice. Salma reads a book. Kobita is eating bread. Passive Voice : When the verb of a subject  become in active  then it is called passive voice. Examples: The work is done by me. Rice is eaten by Karim. A book is read by Salma. NB: She  is done  the work. A book  have had  by me. She  is gone  to school. We think  these are not  voice, but  they may be some special sentence. On the other hand it does not en-broaden linguistic beauty of the sentence. Rules of  Changing voice :  1.     Present Indefinite q   Object of active becomes the subject of passive voice. Subject  becomes object with possessive form and by.  Auxiliary verb am, is, are places before main verb. Main verb transforms into past  participle. in brief:       obj---------------- subject      Subj ------------- by+ o bject      AV -------------- am, is, are
