परिचय:
शॉर्ट आंसर्स (Short Answers) अंग्रेजी भाषा के व्याकरण में एक महत्वपूर्ण अंश हैं। ये संक्षिप्त उत्तर होते हैं जो सीधे और स्पष्टता से प्रश्न का उत्तर देते हैं, विस्तार से वर्णन किए बिना। इस प्रकार के उत्तर देने का अभ्यास ना केवल व्याकरण का ज्ञान बढ़ाता है, बल्कि संवाद को भी सहज और प्रभावी बनाता है। इस लेख में, हम अंग्रेजी व्याकरण के इस पहलू पर अभ्यास करेंगे।
इन अभ्यासों के द्वारा आप न केवल यह सीखेंगे कि कैसे छोटे उत्तर प्रभावी तरीके से दिए जाते हैं, बल्कि अंग्रेजी व्याकरण के अन्य नियमों पर भी पकड़ बनाएंगे। इसमें दिए गए वाक्यों में रिक्त स्थानों को भरना, सही उत्तरों का उपयोग करना और उन्हें समझदारी से प्रयोग करने का अभ्यास शामिल है। आइए, अभ्यास शुरू करते हैं।
