- ప్రధాన భావం
- The central idea of a prose lesson. State it in a single sentence first, then support it with two specific details drawn from the text.
- స్వీయచరిత్ర
- Autobiography: the author narrates their own life. Distinguished from జీవిత చరిత్ర, a biography written by someone else about another person.
- వ్యాసం
- A prose essay organised around one theme, with introduction, developed argument, and conclusion. Tested for main idea and author's stance rather than plot.
- హాస్య వ్యాసం
- A humorous essay. Examination questions ask what is being satirised and why, not for a retelling of the comic incidents in sequence.
- ఉత్పలమాల
- A Sanskrit-origin Telugu metre with a fixed gaṇa pattern per line. Identify it by syllable weight sequence, not merely by the number of syllables.
- ఉపమాలంకారం
- Simile: one thing is compared to another using words such as లా or వలె. The two things remain distinct, unlike in రూపక.
- రూపకాలంకారం
- Metaphor: the compared object is identified with the subject without a comparison word. The two are fused, not placed side by side.
- ప్రాస
- Alliteration in which the second syllable of successive lines shares the same consonant. Check the second letter of each line to detect it.
- యతి
- A required caesura or pause at a fixed position within a metrical line. Its position is prescribed by the metre and must not be shifted.
- భావ కవిత
- Romantic, subjective poetry centred on personal feeling and nature. Contrasted with అభ్యుదయ కవిత by its inward rather than social orientation.
- కథానిక
- A short story with a single incident and few characters. In non-detailed reading, tested for gist, motivation, and outcome rather than quoted lines.
- యాత్రా చరిత్ర
- A travelogue recording a journey's places, people, and impressions. Questions usually ask for route order, observations, and the traveller's reactions.
- జ్ఞాపకం
- A memoir or recollection of personal experience. Tested for the sequence of remembered events and the significance the writer attaches to them.
- అకార సంధి
- Sandhi where అ or ఆ at the end of a word meets a following vowel and the resulting combination follows the అకార rules. Identify by the final vowel of the first word.
- యడాగమ సంధి
- Sandhi in which the glide య is inserted between the two words being joined. The inserted య is an āgama, not part of either original word.
- కర్మధారయ సమాసం
- A compound where the first element qualifies the second as an adjective, both referring to the same thing, as in a noun plus its descriptor.
- బహువ్రీహి సమాసం
- A compound whose meaning points to a third entity not named by either member. The compound as a whole denotes something else entirely.
- ద్వంద్వ సమాసం
- A compound joining two items of equal status, effectively meaning 'X and Y'. Neither member is subordinate to the other in the compound.
- ద్వితీయా విభక్తి
- The accusative case, marking the direct object of a verb. Its endings include -ను and -ని attached to the noun.
- సప్తమీ విభక్తి
- The locative case, expressing place or time where something occurs. Its markers include -లో and -అందు attached to the noun.
- అసమాపక క్రియ
- A non-finite verb that does not end the sentence, such as forms in -ి, -తూ, or -గా. It links clauses rather than completing the statement.
- కర్మణి వాక్యం
- A passive sentence where the object becomes the subject. Formed with verb endings such as -బడు or -పడు in Telugu.
- పరోక్ష కథనం
- Indirect speech: the original words are reported, not quoted. Pronouns shift to third person, tense moves back, and అని replaces quotation marks.

- A word retained in its Sanskrit form in Telugu, without phonological change. Contrasted with తద్భవం, the Telugu-evolved form of the same source word.
- శీర్షిక ఇవ్వండి
- Instruction to supply a title for an unseen passage. Use a short noun phrase of two to four words capturing the passage's central subject.

- నివేదిక
- A report written in third person and past tense, containing headline, place and date, what happened, who was involved, outcome, and source.
