Reflexive pronouns reflect back to the subject of the sentence (e.g., "yourself" refers to "you").
They are used when the subject and object of a verb are the same person.
He said that he could solve your problem.
"Can" changes to "could" in indirect speech (past reporting verb: "said").
The pronoun "I" becomes "he", and "your" stays the same (referring to the listener).
One of my school teams won the cricket match.
"One" refers to a number or a single item, and "won" is the past tense of win.
These are homophones — they sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause.
The dependent clause "Although we were late" and the independent clause "we caught the train."
The present perfect tense (has + past participle) needs "sewn" (past participle of "sew").
"She has sewn her dress" is grammatically correct.
An imperative sentence gives a command or instruction.
"Finish your homework" directs someone to do something, so it is imperative.
'One-fourth' uses a hyphen (-) to connect two words that together form a fraction.
A hyphen is used to join words or parts of words for clarity and meaning.
"To wear" is in the infinitive form (to + base verb).
It shows the purpose of the noun "shoes" — what the shoes are meant to do.
The structure "had + past participle" (had broken) indicates past perfect tense.
Past perfect is used for an action completed before another past event.
