bhai i guess it should be animesh is learning to play violin at his school.

1. know few rules : avoid using a comma before 'that' ,this is because 'that' introduces a 'restrictive clause' in a sentence.A restrictive clause is a group of words that introduces any essential information about the subject and hence cannot be done away with.

'so that' is a clause that shows a cause effect relation.
eg. He is so lazy that i avoid inviting him to the party.
Lazy-Cause , Avoid inviting-effect

'so' is used as a coordinating conjunction to show a reaction.

One correct expression would/could be : Don't be so demure that everyone may misunderstand you.

2.Gesticulation(a noun) is the gesture of gesticulating(a verb). 😁

So , His act of gesticulating in the show was simply fantabulous would fit the bill.

'fantabulous' is a misnomer for something that's fabulous.Both can be used interchangeably.(that's my personal opinion however 😃 )

3.Being a motivator,I have quizzed almost every facet of people's personality is correct.

Nice set of questions,let me know if this helped.




Very Good Explanation 😃

In 1st sentence i guess the article is required but it can be omitted in the 3rd as in preposition + noun combination article is usually omitted

In 1st sentence i guess the article is required but it can be omitted in the 3rd as in preposition + noun combination article is usually omitted




My take is same as Prakash... 😃 articles will be omitted both in 1st and 3rd ..

"Week in Grammar." By any chance did u mean "Weak"?

Anyway, for the 1st one, "No article required"
Had it been mentioned earlier about a "prison" in particular in the sentences preceding it, then "the" would have been a better choice.

For the second, "a merrier" fills the gap better as there is a tinge of comparison.Read it loud to feel. :)

For the third, again, "No articles required" for obvious reasons.Follow the same for the 1st.

These basics are indeed required.
