Day1 - English basics

 

1)Parts of Speech::

These are the building blocks of grammar. Here’s a quick overview with examples:

• Noun: Names a person, place, or thing. Example: “The dog is barking.”

• Verb: Shows an action or state. Example: “She runs every morning.”

• Adjective: Describes a noun. Example: “It’s a beautiful day.”

• Adverb: Describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Example: “He speaks softly.”

• Pronoun: Replaces a noun. Example: “They are playing football.”

• Preposition: Shows position or relationship. Example: “The book is on the table.”

• Conjunction: Connects words or sentences. Example: “I like tea and coffee.”

• Interjection: Expresses emotion. Example: “Wow! That’s amazing.”

2)Sentence Structure::

Sentences are made up of subjects, verbs, and objects. Let’s look at the types:

• Simple Sentence: One idea. Example: “The cat sleeps.”

• Compound Sentence: Two ideas joined by a conjunction. Example: “The cat sleeps, and the dog barks.”

• Complex Sentence: One main idea + extra detail. Example: “I smiled because I was happy.”

3)Tenses (Simple Forms)

• Present Simple: For regular actions or facts. Example: “I play football every day.”

• Past Simple: For completed actions in the past. Example: “I played football yesterday.”

• Future Simple: For actions that will happen. Example: “I will play football tomorrow.”

4)Articles

Articles are small but important words that come before nouns.

• A: Use before words starting with consonant sounds. Example: “I saw a tiger.”

• An: Use before words starting with vowel sounds. Example: “She wants an apple.”

• The: Use for something specific. Example: “The sun is shining.”

5)Basic Prepositions

Prepositions show the relationship between words.

• In: Inside something. Example: “The pen is in the box.”

• On: On top of something. Example: “The book is on the table.”

• At: A specific location. Example: “She is at the door.”

6)Common Verbs

These are the most frequently used verbs in English:

• Be: am/is/are Example: “She is happy.”

• Have: possession Example: “I have a car.”

• Do: actions Example: “I do my homework.”

• Go: movement Example: “They go to school.”
