Introduction to Grammar.

1.What is Grammar?
Grammar is a set of rules that helps us form correct sentences in a language. It acts as a guide for
arranging words in a way that makes sense, so we can express our thoughts clearly. Without proper
grammar, sentences can become confusing or even lose their intended meaning. For example:

• Correct: I am going to school.

• Incorrect: I school going am.

This example shows that following grammar rules is essential to make our sentences clear
and easy to understand.

2. Why is Grammar Important?

Grammar plays a crucial role in effective communication. Here’s why it’s important:

• Clear Communication: Proper grammar ensures that others can easily understand what you
are saying. When your grammar is correct, your message is clear.

• Confidence in Speaking: Knowing grammar helps you speak English confidently without
hesitation. It reduces the fear of making mistakes.

• Building Fluency: Grammar helps in constructing sentences smoothly, which improves your
fluency in English over time. With practice, you can express yourself better.

Basic Sentence Structure.

1.What is Sentence Structure?


Every sentence has a specific structure or order that it follows. The basic structure is:

• Subject: The person or thing doing the action (e.g., She).

• Verb: The action being performed (e.g., eats).

• Object: The person or thing that receives the action (e.g., an apple).
For example:

• She eats an apple.

o Subject: She

o Verb: eats

o Object: an apple

Understanding this structure is important because it forms the foundation of sentence-making. A


sentence follows this order to be grammatically correct.

Types of Sentences.
English has four main types of sentences, each serving a different purpose:

1. Declarative Sentences

o These are simple statements that provide information.

o Example: I like coffee.

o They end with a period (full stop).

2. Interrogative Sentences

o These are questions that ask for information.

o Example: Do you like coffee?

o They end with a question mark (?).

3. Imperative Sentences

o These are commands, instructions, or requests.

o Example: Please close the door.

o They can end with a period or exclamation mark (!).

4. Exclamatory Sentences

o These express strong emotions or excitement.

o Example: Wow, that’s amazing!

o They end with an exclamation mark (!).

Knowing how to use these sentence types correctly is important for daily
conversations.
Common Grammar Mistakes to Avoid
Even with practice, certain common mistakes can happen. Here’s how to avoid them:

1. Incorrect Sentence Structure

o Mistake: I school go.

o Correct: I go to school.

o Explanation: Follow the basic structure of Subject + Verb + Object for clear
sentences.

2. Incorrect Use of Subject-Verb Agreement

o Mistake: She go to school.

o Correct: She goes to school.

o Explanation: When the subject is singular (e.g., She, He), add "s" or "es" to the verb
in present tense.

3. Incorrect Word Order in Questions

o Mistake: You are going where?

o Correct: Where are you going?

o Explanation: In interrogative sentences, the question word (like Where) should come
before the verb.

Avoiding these mistakes will help you build clearer and more accurate
sentences.

Summary of Grammar Rules
