Essential Grammar Concepts

Parts of Speech

Identifying the different parts of speech is essential for building sentences correctly. The main parts of speech include:

• Nouns: Name people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., John, London, book, love)
• Pronouns: Replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they)
• Verbs: Express actions or states of being (e.g., play, think, be)
• Adjectives: Describe nouns (e.g., pretty, tall, intelligent)
• Adverbs: Describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., quickly, slowly, very)
• Prepositions: Show relationships between nouns or pronouns (e.g., in, on, under)
• Conjunctions: Connect words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, or)
• Interjections: Express emotions or reactions (e.g., oh, wow, oops)

Sentence Structure

English sentences typically follow a subject-verb-object (SVO) structure. The subject performs the action, the verb expresses the action, and the object receives the action.

Example: The boy (subject) plays (verb) with the ball (object).

Verb Tenses

Verbs change form to indicate the time of an action or event. Common verb tenses include:

• Present Simple: Expresses actions that happen regularly or in the present moment
• Present Continuous: Expresses actions that are happening right now
• Past Simple: Expresses actions that happened in the past
• Past Continuous: Expresses actions that were happening in the past
