or the entire 19 th and part of the 20 th centuries Britain ruled India. This nation, which was then part of the British Empire, was considered the jewel of the British Crown, but its people, the Indians, had little influence and minimal decisionmaking power. Because of years and years of colonialism, Britain left its marks in India, many times in the best way there is: without force. When they first arrived there, the British might have found the local hierarchical system primitive and odd. So they decided not to interfere with Indian religion and customs. That, however, was not always the case: at times, the British didn’t take into account the social or religious status of an Indian while dealing with daily matters such as public services and employment. British education also had its impact on Indian society. The first British schools were established by missionaries around 1820, and later Indians began to provide English education in their Hindu colleges too. As a consequence, there was an increase in the number of British-educated Indians, whose main aim for going to such schools was to attend the Indian civil service. Education was one of the key factors in climbing up the social ladder, making it more difficult for the non-educated to move upwards. Many Hindus (especially Brahmins) studied in British schools. The Muslims, however, hesitated to do so because they wanted to revive their own traditions. The British
35

tried to include more Muslims in their educational programs, but eventually it was the Hindus who succeeded in political careers and became a dominant political community. The introduction of English as the official language of higher education and of administration in colonial India reinforced the seclusion of the Muslims even more. On the other hand, having English as a common language gave the Indians the possibility to communicate with each other in a country where around 180 languages and hundreds and hundreds of dialects were spoken at the time. In a way, this boosted a feeling of national unity. India got its independence in 1947 and today it is the largest democratic country in the world and the second most populous. It is also part of the G20, the twenty most powerful industrial nations, and is a member of the Commonwealth. Above all, its culture, traditions, architecture and history fascinate the whole world.

Grammar Reference
till has a similar meaning to yet in negative S statements. It expresses an action that has not been completed yet; thus, this action is an ongoing one. Notice, however, that the position of the adverb is right after the subject and before the auxiliary verb: I still haven’t found that red bag I want so much. To give this idea of continuity, still can also be used with verbs in the Present Continuous: She’s still working.
ever is used to indicate that an action has not N happened. This adverb is placed between the auxiliary verb have and the main verb: I’ve never seen the movie you are talking about. It can also be used with the Simple Present to describe habits and routine: I never listen to jazz. It’s not my type of music. Or with the Simple Past to describe actions that finished at a certain time: When he was young, he never bothered about his clothes.
ver is used in interrogative sentences to ask E whether an action has been completed or not. It always comes between the subject and the main verb: Have you ever been to Japan? It is also used with the superlative. In this case, ever comes between the auxiliary verb and the main verb: That’s the best food I’ve ever eaten.

PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS The Present Perfect Continuous is formed by the auxiliary have / has + been + a verb ending in ‑ing and it is used to talk about situations that started in the past but go on in the present. It is usually accompanied by a time expression as since, for, recently, etc.: They have been working for the same company for thirty years now. (They started working for the company in the past and are still working for it now.) When the sentence comes without a time expression, there is an idea that the situation or action happened in a recent past and that the results can still be observed in the present: You are all sweaty! Have you been running? My eyes are red because I’ve been crying all night long. The Present Perfect Continuous is also used to emphasize the duration of a situation or action: How long have you been living here? I’ve been living here for two years. Affirmative I You We You They
have been (’ve been) living here for two years.
He She It
has been (’s been) living here for two years.
Negative I You We You They
have not (haven’t) been living here for two years.

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE X PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS Although these two verb tenses are used to describe an action or situation that started in the past but has a connection to the present, there are some differences.
The Present Perfect Continuous emphasizes the situation or action, whereas the Present Perfect Simple emphasizes the result. Compare: They’ve been reading the Commonwealth Principles for hours now. They’ve read the Commonwealth Principles and now they know what it’s all about. The Present Perfect Simple is used instead of the Continuous when we specify the number of times something happened: I’ve played basketball three times this week. (NOT ‘I’ve been playing basketball three times.’)

Interrogative

The Past Perfect Continuous is used to emphasize the duration of an action that occurred before another, or before a period in the past: I had been sleeping for four hours when my mother got home. The Past Perfect Continuous is formed by the auxiliary had plus the past participle of the verb to be (been) and the present participle of the main verb (-ing). The form is the same for all persons. Affirmative

MODAL VERBS – SHOULD, OUGHT TO, MUST AND HAD BETTER The modal verbs used to give advice and suggestions are should, ought to, must and had better.
PAST PERFECT SIMPLE X PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS The Past Perfect Simple and the Past Perfect Continuous describe actions that happened before another action or period in the past. The Past Perfect Simple is formed by the auxiliary had plus the past participle of the main verb. The form is the same for all persons: I had already left when my sister arrived.

Should and ought to are synonyms. Observe the example: You should exercise more often. OR You ought to exercise more often. (It would be a good idea to exercise more regularly.)
Attention: Notice that ought is always followed by to , whereas should is followed by the base form of the verb.
ust expresses an obligation and is stronger M than should / ought to: You must do your homework every day.
