English Grammar

Simply put, grammar are the “rules of a language”. These are the system of how language is spoken or written down, in terms of syntax, verb tenses, and voices. Without grammar, written or spoken English would be very chaotic and thus, makes understanding English harder.

Learning English can seem very tasking for some. As there are too many words to be learned. While this may pose a set-back, learning English can be made easier if you know the most basic parts of English. These parts of speech serve as guideposts in studying English grammar. And these are:

• Noun – names for people, places, or things (Bird, Mrs. Robinson., Mr. Cheong, Louisiana)
• Pronoun – that which takes the place of nouns (he, she, it, some, every)
• Verb - are action words (is, are, was, run, fly, calculate)
• Adjective – that which describes a noun (humble, 69, brilliant, sexy)
• Adverb – that which pertains to describe adjectives and verbs (lastly, very, hungrily, diligently)
• Prepositions – that which serves as a link between a noun and another word (in, on, at, to)
• Conjunctions – that which joins two or more clauses together (and, or, nor, but, yet)
• Interjections – these are exclamations that show feelings or emotions (pshaw!, Hi!, Oh! Yes!)
