Answer the following questions:
Q#1:Why had the site not been developed?

Ans: Everyone thought that it was a part of the park. Therefore, no one thought of developing it.

Q#2:In what ways had the site been neglected?

Ans: It had been left without care. It was covered with heaps of debris which in turn was being
covered under a thick undergrowth of thorn bushes and grass.

Q#3:How did Amer earn his livelihood?

Ans: Amer earned his livelihood by buying and selling brass items going around on his bicycle.

Q#4: How did Maham react when Amer first told her of his plans? Why?

Ans: She did not believe him. Many times she had heard such plans and nothing had come of those.
She thought it was just another pipe dream of Amer’s.

Q#5: What were same of the things that Amer had done to accomplish his dream?

Ans: He had saved money for years. He was about to acquire further loan from the bank. He had
met the old lady who owned the plot and negotiated with her to buy it.

Q#6: In what ways did Amer feel relieved, and why?

Ans: Amer felt relieved after telling Maham of his dreams. He no longer had to keep them a secret
now. That made him feel relieved.

Q#7: Do you think Amer was a dreamer or a practical man?

Ans: Amer was both a dreamer and a practical man. He dreamed a lot about a settled life. Then,
finally, when he had enough resources, he went ahead and made arrangements to build his café.
This proves that he was not a mere dream.

Grammar Tree:
Finite verb:
“A finite verb is vital to a sentence and is closely connected to the subject. It shows tense and
agrees with the subject in number and person.”
Example:(a) He taught us how to make a pie chart.

(b)Suleman teaches English to senior students.

Non-Finite verb:
“Non-finite verbs are not governed by the subject of the sentence. The do not show tense and do
not agree with the subject in terms of number and person.”
Example:(a) We allowed them to enter the premises.

(b) Looking in both directions, he ran across the road.

In the sentence above, the verbs “enter” and “look” are not connected to the subject of the
sentences. Although the non-finite verb “looking” suggests the continuous tense, notice that the
sentence is actually in the simple past tense because the main verb “ran” shows simple past
tense.
