There are numerous grammar rules but the basic ones refer to sentence structure and parts of speech which includes noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition and conjunction. Let us see how sentences are put together and the words that form them.
Basic English grammar rules:
English grammar rules relate directly to sentence structure. some rules tell that:
- A singular subject need the singular predicate.
- A sentence should express a complete thought.
Independent Clause:
Clauses have a subject and predicate like any sentence. If a group of words does not have a subject and predicate it is called a phrase.. If they can stand alone and make a complete thought, then they are independent and called sentences.
. If they do not Express a complete thought they are called dependent clauses.
Subject and Predicates:
Basic thing of any language is the sentence which expresses a complete thought and consists of a Subject and predicate.
- Subject is the doer of the action in a sentence i.e. person animal or thing that is focus of it.
- The predicate tell something about the subject or the action that subject is taking.
Basic Parts of Speech:
After you got a general idea of basic grammar rules for sentence structures it is also helpful to learn about the parts of speech:1. A noun is a naming word that is a name of person, animal, place, thing, quality, Idea, activity or feelings. A noun can be singular, plural or show possession.
2. A pronoun is a word that takes place of a noun like: he, she, it, I, they, you etc.
3. An adjective adds meaning to a noun or a pronoun. In other words it modifies a noun or pronoun.For example slowly, sweet, salty,soft etc.
4. A verb shows action and it can be a main verb or a helping verb like has or have. Verbs also indicate tense and sometimes change their form to show past, present or future tense. Linking verbs link the subject to the rest of the sentence and examples are: "appear" and "seem."
5. An adverb modifies a verb and tells more about it like: how much, when, where why or how etc.
6. A preposition shows the relationship between nouns and pronouns. It is often used with a noun to show location.For example "beside" "in" "on" it can also show time, direction, motion, manner, reason or possession.
7. An article is a word used with a noun which gives information about a noun. The articles are also considered to be parts of speech. The articles are "a" "an" and "the" Indefinite articles are "a" and "an" and "the" is a definite article.
8. Conjunctions connect two words, phrases or clauses.Common ones are "and" "but" and "or."
9. One of parts of speech is interjection. It shows emotion. Examples are "yea", "Hurray", "Uh-ho", and "alas."
