INTRODUCTION
THE GRAMMAR OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS A
STRUCTURED SYSTEM OF RULES AND PRINCIPLES THAT
GOVERN HOW WORDS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND COMBINED
TO FORM MEANINGFUL SENTENCES. UNDERSTANDING
GRAMMAR IS ESSENTIAL FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN
ENGLISH, AS IT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY GUIDELINES FOR
CREATING COHERENT AND UNDERSTANDABLE PHRASES.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR CONSISTS OF SEVERAL PARTS,
INCLUDING SYNTAX (THE ARRANGEMENT OF WORDS IN A
SENTENCE), MORPHOLOGY (THE STRUCTURE AND FORM OF
WORDS), AND SEMANTICS (THE MEANING OF WORDS AND
SENTENCES). KEY ELEMENTS OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR INCLUDE
NOUNS, ADJECTIVES, VERBS, ADVERBS, PREPOSITIONS,
PRONOUNS, AND CONJUNCTIONS.
IN ADDITION, ENGLISH GRAMMAR ENCOMPASSES
DIFFERENT VERB TENSES, VERB MOODS, PASSIVE VOICE,
GENDER AND NUMBER AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS RULES FOR
FORMING QUESTIONS AND NEGATIONS. IT ALSO INCLUDES
PUNCTUATION AND THE CORRECT USE OF SYMBOLS SUCH
AS COMMAS, PERIODS, SEMICOLONS, AND QUOTATION
MARKS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR CLARITY AND
COHERENCE IN WRITING.
MASTERING ENGLISH GRAMMAR REQUIRES CONSTANT
PRACTICE AND FAMILIARITY WITH ITS RULES AND
EXCEPTIONS. HOWEVER, UNDERSTANDING THESE
GRAMMATICAL FUNDAMENTALS PROVIDES A SOLID
FOUNDATION FOR EXPRESSING ONESELF CLEARLY AND
ACCURATELY IN ENGLISH, BOTH IN WRITING AND SPEECH.
SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
The simple present tense is used to
describe habits, unchanging
situations, general truths, and fixed
arrangements.
RULES
S + V(s/es) + O
ACTIVITY
Complete the following sentences.
RULE
The form/case of the pronoun must reflect how it
functions in the sentence. If the pronoun acts as the
subject it takes the nominative form/case. If the
pronoun acts as the object, it takes the objective
form/case. If the pronoun reflects ownership, it takes
the possessive form /case.
Example
I go to school every day. (The pronoun ‘I’ is doing the action of going to
school every day and is the subject in the sentence)
We are travelling to Paris next week. (The pronoun ‘we’ refers to the subject
who is currently doing the action of travelling to Paris)
He will be meeting Nina tomorrow. (The pronoun ‘he’ is the subject who
will be performing the action of meeting Nina the next day)
She is writing a letter to her cousin. (The pronoun ‘she’ is the subject in the
sentence that is currently performing the action of writing a letter to her
cousin)
Did you get the book you were looking for? (The pronoun ‘you’ is the
subject pronoun in the sentence)
They will be playing the final match in Australia. (The pronoun ‘they’ is the
subject who will be playing the final match in Australia)
Exercise
There is - There are
When are “there is” and
“there are” used? We use “there RULES
is” and “there are” to express
the existence of something, as
is done in Spanish with the
verb “to have” in situations like
this: There is someone at the
door
EXAMPLES
