24 sample cards from the English deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is the general rule for changing active voice into passive voice?
The object becomes the subject, the verb changes to 'be + past participle' (matching the tense), and the original subject is placed after 'by'.
Change to passive voice: 'She writes a letter.'
'A letter is written by her.'
What is Direct Narration (Direct Speech)?
Direct narration reports the exact words of the speaker inside quotation marks (e.g., He said, 'I am tired').
What is Indirect Narration (Reported Speech)?
Indirect narration reports the meaning of the speaker's words without quotation marks, often using a conjunction (e.g., He said that he was tired).
When changing direct to indirect speech, how do present tenses change?
They shift one step back into the past: present simple to past simple, present continuous to past continuous, and present perfect to past perfect.
In reported speech, how do 'now', 'today', and 'here' change?
'now' becomes 'then', 'today' becomes 'that day', and 'here' becomes 'there'.
Convert to indirect speech: She said, 'I am writing a letter.'
She said that she was writing a letter.
State the common rules for forming the plural of nouns.
Usually add -s (book/books); add -es after s, ss, sh, ch, x (box/boxes); change -y to -ies after a consonant (city/cities); some change -f to -ves (leaf/leaves).
Give the plurals of: man, woman, child, foot, tooth, mouse.
men, women, children, feet, teeth, mice (irregular plurals).
What is grammatical gender? Name its four types.
Gender shows the sex of a noun/pronoun. Types: Masculine (male), Feminine (female), Common (either, e.g., teacher), and Neuter (no sex, e.g., table).
Give the feminine forms of: king, lion, horse, nephew, bull.
queen, lioness, mare, niece, cow.
What are the three degrees of comparison of adjectives?
Positive (tall), Comparative (taller), and Superlative (tallest).
How are the comparative and superlative degrees of long adjectives formed?
By placing 'more' before the adjective for the comparative and 'most' for the superlative (e.g., beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful).
Give the three degrees of comparison for 'good' and 'bad'.
good - better - best; bad - worse - worst (irregular).
What is a synonym?
A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word (e.g., big/large, happy/glad).
Give synonyms for: brave, honest, beautiful.
brave = courageous; honest = truthful; beautiful = gorgeous/lovely.
What is an antonym?
An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning to another word (e.g., hot/cold, up/down).
Give antonyms for: ancient, victory, expand.
ancient = modern; victory = defeat; expand = contract.
What is one-word substitution? Give an example.
It is the use of a single word in place of a phrase or group of words, e.g., 'a person who studies stars' = an astronomer.
Give one-word substitutions for: 'one who flies an aircraft' and 'a place where aeroplanes are kept'.
A pilot/aviator; a hangar.
Give the one-word substitution for: 'a government by the people', 'one who cannot read or write', and 'a medicine that kills germs'.
Democracy; an illiterate; an antiseptic.
What is an idiom?
An idiom is a fixed group of words whose meaning is different from the literal meaning of the individual words (e.g., 'a piece of cake' = something very easy).
What do these idioms mean: 'to break the ice' and 'once in a blue moon'?
'To break the ice' = to start a conversation/relieve tension; 'once in a blue moon' = very rarely.
What do these idioms mean: 'to burn the midnight oil' and 'to let the cat out of the bag'?
'To burn the midnight oil' = to study or work late into the night; 'to let the cat out of the bag' = to reveal a secret.
What this deck covers
The English deck follows the PAF Aeronautical Engineering English syllabus — 7 chapters and 26 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 7.1 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 93 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
