Dimensions - 1D-2D-3D-4D-......-nD


1D-2D-3D-.............-nD:

One dimension, say a line with LENGTH,l
This is 1D as there is only one dimension - length
If we want two dimensional, we need to have another dimension which is perpendicular to the previous dimension i.e., making 90 degrees with length, l.
So, draw a line at one end of length that is perpendicular. So, if our previous line is horizontal, now we get a vertical line, let it be breadth,b.
So, this is 2D - LENGTH and BREADTH.
Examples of two dimensional figures are SQUARE, RECTANGLE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, etc,.
Now 3D means one more dimension to be added to 2D and it should be perpendicular to length as well as breadth at that same point where length and breadth are perpendicular to each other.
This is not possible to draw on a paper exactly as paper itself is a 2D object as there is only length and breadth for the paper, but for the convenience people draw a line cross to length and breadth assuming it makes 90 degrees with both of them and we call it HEIGHT. If you observe a cuboid, at any point i.e., vertex, we can observe that length, breadth and height are perpendicular to each other. A paper has no height as it is 2D body - only length and breadth.
Examples of three dimensional figures are CUBE, CUBOID, CONE, SPHERE, etc,.
This world is a 3D world. Sun, moon, earth and many other bodies are all 3D figures, we can say they are spheres as they look like balls approximately, if not exactly. 

                   Now, if we want 4D, we need to have another dimension which must be perpendicular to length, breadth and height at the same point which is impossible to imagine for us, it is something which is beyond our imagination as we human beings are 3D bodies on this 3D planet. And we know upto 3D only. We do not know more that that. If one knows 4D, then such one will automatically know 1D, 2D and 3D also but may not know 5D, 6D, etc,.

Present continuous tense

Present continuous tense is used: for that activity, thing or action that is happening at the very moment while you are speaking about it. In other words, when you speak or discuss about the action that is happening or occurring or going on or continuing at the same time of your saying, you need to use this tense(or tense form). The action you are talking about has not started in the recent past or did not start in past but it is just happening now itself, that is, it is of shorter duration usually though there are exceptions. For example, we say- "The earth revolves around the sun." But we don't say- "The earth is revolving around the sun." This is wrong because the earth always revolves around the sun, it is not of shorter duration but it happens all the time and thus, we use simple present but not present continuous. What is shorter duration and what is longer duration depends on each individual's view and consideration. However, it should make s

Present perfect tense

Present perfect tense is used: A. For an action which was recently completed. B. For those actions that started in the past and continue in the present. C. For an action that is between past(Simple past) and present(present continuous). D. When the time is unfinished. When the time is not specified or not important. Structure: S+has/have+V3+O Helping verbs: Has: for 3rd person singular (he/she/it) Have: for other persons and 3rd person plural. Examples: 1. They have been married for 5 years. 2. She has helped me many times. 3. Shivaji has read many books. 4. He has just completed his work. 5. I have been to Mumbai many times. 6. Aishwarya has lived in Hyderabad. 7. You have played football for 10 years. 8. Have you been there? 9. Has she completed her exercise? 10. Haven't they worried? 11. I have taught English. 12. I haven't taught English. 13.
