Q: Sir, please explain the difference among the sentences in
Telugu.
1) "Who is he","who he is"
2) "Where is he","where he is"

'Who he is', and 'where he is' are not questions. They are
not even sentences. They are parts of sentences.
Examples:
i) I do not know who he is.
ii) The police do not know where he is.
In a question the verb is always before the subject, or in
between the helping verb and the main verb. (ÉçTx≠ˇ

Q: I am pursuing M.B.A. - Is this sentence correct?
A: Correct. But 'pursuing' is bookish (é¬Ææh §ƒçúÕûªuç/ ví¬çC∑éπç). A simpler way of saying it is, 'I am doing MBA'.
Q: In letter writing which one of the following is write & why?
I request you to do my favour. (or) I am requesting you to do my
favour - Please give me clarification.
A: The correct sentence is: I request you to do me (not my) a favour. (In
such sentences am / is / are requesting is avoided).

pronunciation. We don't write English as
we speak.
But phone means sound. Unphonetic
means without sound.
So I think it is not apt to call a language
unphonetic because any language is made
of sounds. please clarify my doubt.
A: 'Unphonetic' means no correspondence
between letters used in the spelling and the
sound.
★ English is an unphonetic language because
there is no relation between the letters used
in the spelling, and the pronunciation.
★ Non-phonetic is not correct here. Non-phonetic is not usually used to describe a language like English.

Ex: I don't know how it is possible. The correct question form is, 'How
is it possible?' Refer to the answer to the question above.

Q: Is it correct to say that 'They have gone to
Chennai'; 'He has gone to Hyderabad'?
Please explain with the reason and example.
A: The two sentences are correct. The two sentences indicate that they have / he has left
for Chennai.
★ The point is, 'have gone' is NOT used with I
/ we / you.
★ I / We / You have gone to Chennai - this is
wrong. These sentences mean that I am / We
/You are either on your way to Chennai or
have reached Chennai. When you are either
on your way to Chennai or being in Chennai
how can you say that you have gone to
Chennai? Only after returning from Chennai,
we say, I / we / you had been to Chennai.
Q: He had participated in the meeting - Is it
correct to use had + V3 for past perfect single action in the above sentence?
A: This sentence is wrong. We don't use 'had
+ V3' for a single past action. We use it for
the first of two past actions.
Examples:
a) The bus had left before I reached the bus
station.
b) He told me that he had seen the movie.

Q: We have received many complaints from
customers and have appointed an auditor to
help us identify the reason for the VARIOUS DELAYS - Why we use various delay
in place of various delays?
A: 'Delay' is both countable (™„éπ\ °õ‰dN) and
uncountable (™„éπ\ °ôd-EN). When it is used
as a countable, it is singular, and when it is
uncountable, it is used in the plural. When
you use various (= of different kinds)
before it, the plural form, delays is correct.
