Grammar is the
foundation to learning any new language. New learners of English language first
need to know the basic rules of English grammar. It is very essential to build
a strong base in grammar because it will help you to form sentences that are
correct and will improve your communicating skills in both written and spoken
language. Whether you’re going out for shopping or going abroad- learning to
speak in English correctly will help you in your daily activities and will give
boost to your confidence.
It has been
found that one of the biggest challenges that the new learners face while
learning English is using correct tenses in their spoken and written English.
There is plenty of grammar material online for free.
Here we will look at few most important
grammar rules that will help you improve your English:
Nouns
Noun is a name
given to a person, thing, event or a place. For example Rahul, Jaipur, table,
pride etc. Most of the nouns can be made plural by adding ‘s’ or ‘es’ at the
end of it. For examples, ‘dogs’, ‘chairs’, ‘boxes’ etc.
For nouns ending
with letter ‘y’ we add ‘ies’ and remove ‘y’. For example, ‘city’ becomes
‘cities’, ‘quantity’ becomes ‘quantities’.
Verbs
Verbs are
important components in a sentence. Verbs describe the action or state of a
noun or subject. For example:
·
She is watching a movie.
·
Mahesh is an intelligent
person.
In the first
sentence, ‘watching’ is an action verbs and in the second sentence ‘is’ is an
auxiliary verb because it shows the state of Mahesh that is ‘intelligent’.
Look at more
examples:
·
Ria is writing a book.
·
She is cooking pizza.
In the above
sentences, ‘writing’ and ‘painting’ are verbs. They are very easily identified.
If you want to know the verb in the sentence just ask yourself ‘what is the
subject doing?’ Here, the subjects are ‘She’ and ‘Ria’. What is Ria doing? Ria
is writing a book. So ‘writing’ is an action verb. What is she doing? She is
cooking pizza. Hence, ‘cooking’ is an action verb.
