English Grammar - Summary

English grammar is essential for mastering the rules of the English language. This includes understanding the structure of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and entire texts. To enhance your grasp of English grammar, it’s crucial to start with the eight traditional parts of speech that make up our sentences: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, interjections, and conjunctions.

Understanding Standard English

Standard English is the form of communication commonly used in public settings. This includes broadcasting, education, entertainment, government, and news, all covering various levels of formality. While some grammar differences exist across historical, social, cultural, and regional varieties of English, these variations are less significant when compared to the differences in pronunciation and vocabulary.

English Grammar – Rules

Rule 1: Every sentence should start with a capital letter on the first word.
Rule 2: Every sentence must end with a full stop (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation mark (!).
Rule 3: Each sentence should follow the SVO pattern (Subject – Verb – Object).
Rule 4: The relation between the Subject and Verb forms is important in a sentence.
Rule 5: Use “Either – or” or “Neither – nor” based on the singular nouns in the sentence.
Rule 6: Proper nouns must be capitalized in any part of the sentence (including at the start).
Rule 7: Common nouns should only be capitalized at the beginning of sentences.
Rule 8: The words “its” and “it’s,” as well as “you’re” and “your,” have different meanings.
Rule 9: Indefinite articles are used for countable nouns, while definite articles are used for specific countable nouns and all uncountable nouns.
Rule 10: Use the article “a” for consonant sounds and “an” for vowel sounds.
Rule 11: Use an apostrophe to indicate possession.
Rule 12: Active voice is preferred over passive voice in English.
