Chapter 4: Translation into English — notes
The chapter’s 4 parts in the book’s order — the first idea of each and the points Medha Ma’am writes on the board — and the summary at the end. The full lesson and a check question for each part are in the app.
1. What the examiner asks in this part now
Okay, so let's look at this part of the paper now.
- • Given: one sentence to translate
- • Four options A-D given
- • You must choose the one correct option
- • Test: meaning + grammar + natural English
2. How to work each kind — the steps that reach the keyed option
Okay, so let's work through one question together.
- • Step 1: Find the core meaning
- • Step 2: Decide the correct tense/form needed
- • Step 3: Reject options wrong in grammar or meaning
- • Step 4: Pick the complete, correct, natural option
- • Example: Unity has strength -> There is strength in unity (B)
3. The questions walked through — keyed options and why the others fail
Okay, so let's go through each question on the board, one by one.
- • Unity: 'Unity has strength' -> key B (complete, correct tense, same meaning)
- • Age: 'He is older than me' -> key C ('older' is correct comparative for age)
- • Duty: 'I have to go' -> key A ('have to' shows necessity)
- • Weather: 'It is cold today' -> key B (plain fact, simple present, no change in meaning)
4. How to practise
Okay, so let's talk about how you actually get good at this part.
- • Use the Library: read, recall, write
- • Try the answer yourself first, then check the model answer
- • Check: meaning matched? tense correct? sentence complete?
- • Repeat daily, a few sentences at a time
- • Learn the common wrong-option patterns
Summary
Okay, so let's wrap up this part. Here, you're given a sentence, and you have to pick its correct English translation from four options. It's not free writing. It's about recognising and understanding. First, find the core meaning of the original sentence. Then, check what tense it needs. After that, reject the options that are incomplete, wrongly tensed, or that change the meaning. And finally, pick the one that's complete, natural, and correct. Look at the board — remember those questions we did? They had sayings, comparisons of age, statements of duty, and plain facts. Every single one, we solved with these same four steps. Now, keep practising with the Library's bank of questions. Try them yourself first, then read the model answer. Do that enough, and these steps will become second nature. Tell me — which of these four steps do you find trickiest so far?
