1In traditional Tamil grammar (இலக்கணம்), which term names a noun?
A.பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol)
B.வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol)
C.இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol)
D.உரிச்சொல் (uricchol)
Explanation: பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol) is the traditional Tamil term for a noun — a word that names a person, place, thing, or abstract idea. Class 11 Tamil grammar regularly tests the four main word classes used in Samacheer Kalvi higher-secondary texts.
2Which Tamil grammar term names a verb?
A.வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol)
B.பெயர்ச்சொல் (peyarchol)
C.இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol)
D.உரிச்சொல் (uricchol)
Explanation: வினைச்சொல் (vinaichchol) is the traditional term for a verb — words that express action, occurrence, or state. Board grammar items often ask you to classify words from a sentence into the four primary classes.
3இடைச்சொல் (idaichchol) in school Tamil grammar primarily covers which kind of words?
A.Particles, postpositions, and connector-like function words
B.Only finite verbs marked for person
C.Only proper names of people and places
D.Only poetic metres used in Sangam verse
Explanation: இடைச்சொல் covers indeclinable/function-word material such as particles and postpositions that help relate other words. They are essential for case marking and sentence cohesion in Tamil.
4உரிச்சொல் (uricchol) is best described as:
A.A quality word that modifies meaning (adjective-/adverb-like function)
B.A finite verb with person ending only
C.Only the Tamil alphabet inventory
D.Only the title of a Sangam anthology
Explanation: உரிச்சொல் names quality/attributive words that colour nouns or verbs (roughly adjective- or adverb-like in school teaching). Class 11 grammar expects you to spot uricchol in sentences.
5வேற்றுமை (vetrumai) in Tamil grammar refers to:
A.Case relations marked on nouns (and related forms)
B.Only verb tense labels
C.Only English punctuation rules
D.Only the physical paper size of the board exam
Explanation: வேற்றுமை is the traditional system of case relations (eight cases in school tables). Markers such as -ஐ, -ஆல், -க்கு help show object, means, goal, and other roles.
6முதல் வேற்றுமை (nominative) primarily marks:
A.The subject / bare citation form of the noun
B.Only the direct object with -ஐ
C.Only the vocative address form
D.Only the ablative ‘from’ relation
Explanation: முதல் வேற்றுமை is the nominative: the basic form used for the grammatical subject and dictionary citation. Other cases add markers for object, means, goal, etc.
7இரண்டாம் வேற்றுமை (accusative), often with -ஐ, typically marks:
A.The direct object of a transitive verb
B.Only the speaker’s polite greeting
C.Only poetic metre names
D.Only synonym pairs in vocabulary lists
Explanation: இரண்டாம் வேற்றுமை marks the object (e.g., புத்தகத்தைப் படித்தான்). Board items often ask which case ending fits a blank object slot.
8நான்காம் வேற்றுமை (dative), often with -க்கு / -க்கு, typically answers:
A.To/for whom or what? (recipient, purpose, goal)
B.Only ‘by what instrument?’
C.Only ‘O friend!’ address
D.Only ‘from which place?’
Explanation: நான்காம் வேற்றுமை covers dative-type relations: recipient, beneficiary, purpose, and goal (e.g., அவனுக்கு, பள்ளிக்கு). School tables pair it with questions like ‘யாருக்கு?’ / ‘எதற்கு?’.
9ஏழாம் வேற்றுமை (locative) primarily expresses:
A.Location / place-in (‘in/at/on’)
B.Only agent ‘by someone’
C.Only direct object -ஐ
D.Only future tense endings
Explanation: ஏழாம் வேற்றுமை is locative: place-in relations (e.g., வீட்டில், பள்ளியில்). It answers ‘where?’ questions in school grammar tables.
10எட்டாம் வேற்றுமை (vocative) is used when:
A.Addressing or calling someone (O friend! / அப்பா!)
B.Marking only the grammatical subject
C.Marking only the direct object
D.Forming only passive voice
Explanation: எட்டாம் வேற்றுமை is the vocative used for address/calling. It is not a case of ‘doing something to’ an object but of speaking to a person.
