Story: The fool and His Golden Gourd

Please read the story and do two things:

1st: give a moral or title of the story.
2nd : write the vocabularies new to you in the comments. 


Once there lived a fool in a village. He used to work in his field everyday. One day he became very sad to see that somebody was eating away his crops. This might be a naughty cow. Then he planned to come at night and hid himself in the field to see who was eating away all the crops.
Next night he saw a large cow coming to his field when he was hiding in the field. He caught the tail of the cow. The cow tried to escape and started to fly as it could fly. The fool holded it tightly and went with the cow. The cow went to the king of the angels' home. The fool then complained to the king about his cow. The king gave him a golden gourd as a compensation. The fool became happy and came back home.
He became rich by selling the golden gourd and started to live happily. But, the neighbour of the fool was very greedy. He wanted to be rich too. He convinced the fool to tell him the secret of getting golden gourd. The fool told him that. Then they planned to go to the king's palace by catching the cow's tail again. The next night the full family of the fool and the greedy man came to the field and hid themselves.
The cow came again and the fool man caught the tail. When it started to fly, the greedy man hold the legs of the fool man. The rest of the people also followed them and holded one another's legs. The cow flew to the top of the sky. The greedy man couldn't wait for long. He asked the fool about the golden gourd again. The fool assured him well. He asked again, "How large is the largest one in the palace of king? " The fool became eager to show it. He let go his hand and show the size of the largest gourd. By this everybody fell down from the sky and became injured or dead. They got their punishment of greed.

Thanks. 

First Person, Second Person and Third Person

Hi,
How are you?

Now, you may know that-
There are three types of persons. They are-
1) First Person
2) Second Person
3) Third Person


Here, 'I' and 'we' are first persons.
'You' is the second person.
And the other subjects will be the third persons such as it, he, they, that... etc.

So, we can now understand that persons may be singular or plural.
Singular means only one in number. for example I, here i means a single person. The boy means only a boy. So, these are singular numbers.

Plural is more than one. For example 'we', It means I, you and he or they etc. So, it means more than one. The boys means more than one boy. We usually use s or es after plural nouns. See-
Student == students
Girl == girls
Cow == Cows
Book == Books

Subject' singular number or plural number is very importance in a sense. Because, verbs are used on the basis of the number of the subjects. See--
The boy is playing. (singular)

The boys are playing. (Plural)

( see that verbs changed with the change of number. 'is' is used for singular, and 'are' for plural. )

The boy likes playing. (singular)

The boys like playing. (plural)

(see that 's' has been used with verb when it was third person singular number.)

So, remember that 's' or 'es' is added with verb word for the third person singular numbers in present indefinite tense. For example,

He likes writing.
It seems clear.
She looks beautiful.
The man sings well.

Now, are persons only subject? No, persons can be object and possessive also. See the chart in the photo. Learn carefully the right forms of persons.

Don't mess with subject or object form.

Subject forms are used only in subject positions. see-
I
We
He 
It
I love sports.
We know them.
He eats more.
It is a new watch.

Objects are used only in object positions, and after prepositions.
I know him.
He helped them.
She likes me.

(see here 'him', 'them', and 'me' are object form. So, they have been used in object position.)

You cannot write subject word in the object position. For example,
Incorrect: I know he.
Correct: I know him.
Incorrect: He informed I.
Correct: He informed me.
Incorrect: I love she.
Correct: I love her.
After preposition only object form is used. Do not use subject form after preposition. Examples,
Incorrect: He talked to I.
correct: He talked to me.
Incorrect: I danced with she.
correct: I danced with her.
Incorrect: I am a neighbour of he.
Correct: I am a neighbor of him.

Note: 'You' is exceptional. Because both subject form and object form for 'you' is 'you'.

You are right. (subject is you)
I know you. (object is you)

Now, I am giving you two tasks.

First, read the chart in the picture nicely and remember always.

Second, correct the sentences.
1) Me with my girlfriend captured a selfie. (correct or incorrect??)
2) I told her that her should help me. (correct or incorrect???
3) We were discussing about she.
4) She with go with I.

N.B.: The object form of 'be' is subject form actually. See-
It is she.
This is I.
(We incorrectly write "it is me". But, correct is "it is I"
Thank you very much. :) :)

Sentence Structure and Persons (3rd Part)

Good morning everyone, :) 
We say anything in a sentence and this is the formal way. A sentence normally starts with the subject. In my previous posts I have discussed about it. 
In a sentence we say anything about subject. For example,
The rose is red. 
Here, we are talking about rose. So, rose is the subject here. Now, think about subject. 

Subjects have three types of persons. It's very easy, and I think you know about it. These 3 types of persons are ---
1st person: I, we
2nd person: you
3rd person: he, she, it etc.

1st person : when you are a speaker, then you are the 1st person. Remember, 1st persons are I and we. As I am writing the post, I am the 1st person here.

2nd person : So, who are the 2nd persons? In a conversation the listeners are the 2nd persons. As I am writing here, I am the 1st person, and you are reading it, so you are the second person. Remember, second person is only 'you'.

3rd person : Those who are not present as a listener are the 3rd person. So, people who are not reading my posts must be the 3rd person here.

So, remember that 'I' and we' are the 1st person, 'you' are the 2nd person, the rest of the people and substances are the third persons.

You see I am the 1st person in my post. You may be sad for this. OK, you can also be a 1st person. If you write anything in the comment here, you will be a 1st person. So, person revolves. When you say something to me, you are 1st person and when I say, it's 'I'.
So, be a first person commenting here. I have a question to you. Answer it please.

If you go to a restaurant with your girlfriend and say her, I like you <3 <3

then who will be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd persons???

Thank you. :)
