English Grammar ( Parts of Speech )

 Basic English Grammar                            بنیادی انگریزی گرائمر

There are numbers of grammar rules but the basics refer to sentence structure and parts of speech, including nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions. You need to have a great foundation for reading and writing if you can participate in conversation.

Parts of Speech

Before we start to look into English grammar basics, it's better to have an idea of the components within each rule. The basic parts of speech below are the building blocks of every sentence we write. Let's have a look at the most popular points in the game:

Nouns

A noun is the names a person, animal, place, thing, quality, idea, activity, or feeling. A noun can be singular, plural, or possessive. For example:

This book is filled with engrossing tales.

Please light the fire.

I'd like some ice in my soft drink.

Pronouns

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, like "I," "you," or "they." For example:

It has so many lessons.

Please light their fire.

I'd like some of them in my soft drink.

Verbs

A verb shows action and can be a main verb (such as "stand" or "sit") or a helping verb (such as "were" or "has"). Verbs also indicate tense and sometimes change their form to show past, present, or future tense. You'll also find linking verbs, which link the subject to the rest of the sentence (such as "appear" and "seem"). For example:

Amir and Andrew walked through the woods.

Amir has walked through these woods before.

Andrew appears excited to start this new adventure.

Adjectives

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives usually, although not always, come before the noun they're modifying. It adds meaning by telling which one or what kind, or describing it in other ways. For example:

Amir wore a pair of faded jeans.

This black coffee tastes disgusting.

Nothing beats a rainy Monday morning.

If you ever find yourself wanting to include multiple adjectives in a sentence, here's more on how to order them properly.

Adverbs

An adverb modifies a verb and incorporate more information about it, including how much, when, where, why, or how. For example:

She gladly skipped down the street.

He arrived early to their first class.

I almost missed the ball.

Prepositions

A preposition demonstrates a relationship between nouns or pronouns. They're often used with a noun to indicate location, like "beside," "in," or "on." It can also show time, direction, motion, manner, reason, or possession. Note that prepositions must always be followed by a noun or pronoun. For example:

The salt is beside the pepper and chilli.

Take the gift in the living room.

She sat on the rock.

Conjunctions

Conjunctions connect two words, phrases, or clauses. Common conjunctions include "and," "but," and "or." For example:

He ate leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Take the salad dressing but leave the pasta.

Would you like the chicken or the steak?

Interjections

Interjections demonstrate emotion. They're typically, though not always, followed by an exclamation point. Examples include "hurray," "uh-oh," and "alas." For example:

Yeah! I'm so excited you're here.

Hey, get back over here, Hum!

Give me a break, 

Articles

Articles are very useful little words. There are two kinds: indefinite articles include "a" and "an" and refer to non-specific nouns. Meanwhile, "the" is a definite article and is used to refer to a specific person, place, thing, or idea. For example:

Do you have a new book to lend me?

I would like to buy an apple.

Please take the new student out for a walk.
