Grammar is the foundation of any language, and understanding it in the simplest way makes learning
English much easier. These notes have been prepared with great care, using very simple words, so that every
student, whether a beginner or advanced learner, can benefit from them. I have dedicated these notes to
my beloved late brother Shahid Idrees. May Allah (SWT) grant him the highest place in Jannah. I kindly
request every student who benefits from these notes to say a prayer for him. May he be blessed with eternal
peace, and may we all achieve success in this life and the Hereafter. May these notes help you in your studies
and guide you toward excellence in English. I pray that every student who reads them gains knowledge,
wisdom, and success in their exams and beyond.

Best Wishes

 Examples: run, eat, think, be, seem
1.4. Adjective
 Definition: An adjective modifies or describes a noun.
 Examples: happy, blue, tall, interesting, cold
1.5. Adverb

Future Simple Subject + will + Verb (base form) I will eat, She will go
Present Continuous Subject + am/is/are + Verb (ing form) I am eating, She is going
Past Continuous Subject + was/were + Verb (ing form) I was eating, She was going

Notes by Wajahat

Tense Formula Usage of "Since" & "For" Example

Present Perfect Subject + has/have + Since (specific point in time) I have been eating since 10 AM. / I
Continuous been + Verb (ing) / For (duration of time) have been eating for 2 hours.
Past Perfect Subject + had + been Since (specific point in time) I had been eating since morning. / I
Continuous + Verb (ing) / For (duration of time) had been eating for 3 hours.
Future Perfect Subject + will have Since (specific point in time) I will have been eating since 2 PM. /
Continuous been + Verb (ing) / For (duration of time) I will have been eating for 4 hours.

Key Points:

 Since is used to specify a starting point (e.g., "since 5 PM", "since January").
 For is used to specify a duration of time (e.g., "for 2 hours", "for 3 days").

Tricky words
These are the words which can help us to determine the tense so quickly.

Notes by Wajahat

Clause:
A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb. It can sometimes express a complete
thought (independent clause) or might need more information to make sense (dependent clause).
 Independent Clause: A clause that can stand alone as a sentence.
o Example: She sings well. (Complete thought)
 Dependent Clause: A clause that cannot stand alone and needs an independent clause to make
sense.
o Example: Because she sings well (Needs more info to complete the thought).

Phrase:
A phrase is a group of words that works together but doesn't have both a subject and a verb. It is
incomplete by itself and cannot stand as a sentence.
 Example of Phrase: In the morning or on the table (These are groups of words but don't have both
a subject and a verb).

Key Difference:
 Clause = Has both subject and verb (can be a complete thought).
 Phrase = A group of words without both subject and verb (incomplete thought).

What is a Verb?
A verb is a word that shows action or state of being. It’s one of the most important parts of a sentence
because it tells us what the subject is doing or what condition the subject is in.

Types of Verbs:
1. Action Verbs: These verbs show what the subject is doing.
o Examples:
 She runs (action of running)
 They eat (action of eating)
2. Linking Verbs: These verbs connect the subject with more information about it (like describing the
subject). The most common linking verb is "to be" in its different forms (am, is, are, was, were, etc.).
o Examples:
 He is happy (links subject "he" to "happy")
 They are teachers (links "they" to "teachers")
3. Helping (Auxiliary) Verbs: These verbs help the main verb in a sentence by extending its meaning.
Common helping verbs include am, is, are, have, do, will, etc.
o Examples:
 She is running (helping verb "is" helps the main verb "running")

2. Time Clauses

Notes by Wajahat

 When / As soon as / Before / After / Until / While use Present Indefinite or Present Perfect in time clauses,
even if the main clause is Future.
Example: "I will call you when she arrives." (Not "will arrive")
3. Cause-Effect Relationships
 Present Perfect and Past Perfect are used to show completion before another action.
Example: "He had eaten before he left."
4. Parallel Actions
 Continuous tenses (Present Continuous, Past Continuous, Future Continuous) are used for actions happening
at the same time.
Example: "While I was reading, she was watching TV."

 Never use "will" in time clauses (when, before, after, until) – use Present Indefinite or Present Perfect instead.
 Use Past Perfect for earlier actions and Past Indefinite for later actions to show a clear sequence.
 For universal truths, both clauses should be in Present Indefinite (e.g., If you heat ice, it melts).
 Use Past Continuous for ongoing past actions and Past Indefinite for interruptions (e.g., While I was sleeping, the phone rang).
 In First Conditionals, use Present Indefinite in the if-clause and Future Indefinite in the result clause (e.g., If you study, you
will pass).
