ABSTRACT

Some of you will have begun learning Urdu in a class taught by at least two teachers. If you are one of these, you will have been learning first orally, and will have been told not to look at the book, and not to write anything while this oral teachingllearning is going on. For you, then, this book is for you to recognise, to see recorded in writing, and to learn to write yourself, what you have already learnt over the air, and so to consolidate what you already know. To help you do this, the book will often explain in rather more detail than you were given in class the structure and logic of the sentences you have learnt. As you will already know, the division of the book into units is, generally speaking, made theme-wise. So the units are not all of equal length, and some will take you longer to work through than others.
