Fundamentals of English Grammar: Everything You Need to Know

Master the basics and perfect your language skills with these fundamentals of English grammar.

The Five Most Important Elements of English Grammar

1. word order, 4- definite and indefinite articles, 5- comparatives and superlatives, the bottom line.

English grammar is like the secret sauce to speaking and writing perfectly – it helps the conversation flow seamlessly so you can express yourself with confidence.

However, the grammar system entails much more than just the structure of nouns and verbs. When to use an exclamation mark or a question mark is as much a part of grammar as the rules to conjugate verbs in the present tense.

So, are you ready to dive into the world of English grammar and become a master of the language? If so, you're in luck, because we're about to cover the fundamentals of English grammar.

We're going to cover everything you need to know about the building blocks of the language, from the basics of word order to the nitty-gritty details of verb conjugation. So, grab a cup of coffee, put your grammar hat on, and let's get started!

English grammar can often seem overwhelming, but mastering its fundamental elements can greatly improve your writing and communication skills, helping you achieve proficiency .

From proper sentence structure to the correct use of punctuation, these key elements form the foundation of the English language. So, whether you're a new language learner or simply want to brush up on your grammar, keep on reading!

Word order is one of the fundamentals of English grammar, because it greatly determines the meaning of a sentence . For example, word order can determine whether an utterance is a sentence or a question.

In English, the most common word order is: subject-verb-object: "I love chocolate." Saying "Chocolate I love" is possible, but it's uncommon and can lead to confusion.

An Analytic Language

English is referred to as an "analytic" language in terms of syntax. Its meaning is primarily conveyed through word order and function words like articles, prepositions, and auxiliary verbs, instead of inflection (modifying a word's form to show tense, mood, etc.).

In English, sentences are constructed using a subject, verbs, and objects. The relationships between these components are conveyed with the use of function words, rather than by altering the form of the words themselves. This distinguishes it from "synthetic" languages, which rely more on inflection to express meaning (such as Latin).

Some Examples:

As stated above, word order is crucial for sentence structure and conveying meaning. Let's have a look at the following examples:

• My friend, Maria, is reciting a poem by Whitman.
• Maria, my friend is reciting a poem by Whitman.

As you can see, in these examples, the speaker is using the exact same words and grammar rules, but the meaning is very different. The only thing that changes is word order.

2. Singular & Plural Forms

In the English language, nouns and adjectives have singular and plural forms. An example of a singular noun is "cow" while a plural noun is "cows."

Nouns, adjectives, and articles must agree in number with the noun they modify. For example, in English, we say "the cat is hungry," while the plural would be "the cats are hungry."

Number agreement is important for maintaining correctness and clarity in communication, so they are crucial English grammar rules to learn when becoming fluent in the language.

Rule 1: Regular Plural

Most nouns form the plural by adding -s or -es to the end. Some examples include:

• House - houses

Rule 2: Irregular Plural Forms

However, there are several irregular plural forms that must be learned. Let's see some examples:

• Child - children
• Foot - feet
• Mouse - mice
• Goose - geese

Rule 3: Nouns That Do Not Change Their Form

There are even some nouns that do not change their form when they become plural. Some examples include:

Different from other languages, adjectives do not have singular or plural forms in English. They are always singular:

• The cow is beautiful.
• The cows are beautiful.

3. Verb Conjugations

One of the most difficult things to learn when it comes to English grammar rules is verb conjugation. Understandably, remembering irregular verbs and all of the tenses can be quite challenging.

One of the things you have to learn when acquiring English grammar is tenses. Tense refers to a grammatical category that reflects the time frame in which an action takes place. This can be present, past, or future.

Here are some example sentences of how tenses can completely change the meaning:

• I am a teacher vs. I was a teacher
• She is drinking wine vs she will drink wine.

** Aspect** is another of the fundamentals of English grammar . In linguistic terms, "aspect" refers to the way in which a verb describes the nature of the action it represents.

In technical terms, it conveys the internal temporal constituency of a situation or event. There are two main aspects in English: the simple aspect, which focuses on the action itself, and the progressive aspect, which emphasizes the ongoing or continuous nature of the action.

This means we can have two different aspects in the past tense (same as in the present and future): simple and continuous.

We understand: all of these rules can be overwhelming, but with the help of a good textbook, a language app , and a lot of patience, you’ll soon be able to master them!

English Grammar Rules to Conjugate Verbs

Some basic English grammar rules to conjugate verbs include:

• Add -s in the third person singular present tense: e.g. "he talks."
• Add -ed to form the simple past tense: e.g. "he talked."
• Add -ing to form the present participle: e.g. "he is talking."

But, let's not forget about irregular verbs. Unfortunately, there are no basic rules to learn: you just need to memorize their unique conjugation patterns: e.g. "eat" (eats- ate -eating).

The definite article "the" and the indefinite articles "a/an" are used to indicate a specific or non-specific reference to a noun in English. Have a look at the following example:

• "The dog barked loudly" refers to a specific, known dog (maybe your neighbor's).
• On the other hand, saying "an elephant never forgets" implies this is not a specific elephant, but a generalized statement.

General Rules to Use "The" or "A/an"

• Use "the" before a noun when you are referring to a specific thing that is known both to you and the person you're speaking to. Example: "The book on the shelf is mine."

You can also use "the" before a noun that is unique, such as "The sun rises in the east."

• Use "the" before a noun when referring to a superlative, such as "The elephant is the largest land animal."
• Use "the" before proper nouns when referring to a specific thing. Example: "The Eiffel Tower is in Paris."
• Use "a/an" before a singular countable noun when referring to an indefinite or non-specific thing. Example: "I saw a dog in the park."

There's also a rule that's not related to meaning but it's important to grasp to use perfect English grammar: Use "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound, like "an apple."

It is important to note that there are some exceptions to these rules, and the use of the definite and indefinite articles can sometimes be more nuanced.

However, following these general rules should give you a solid foundation and a basic understanding of how to use these articles.

Comparatives and superlatives in English are used to compare or describe the degree or intensity of adjectives.

On the one hand, comparatives are used to compare two things and are formed by adding "er" to the end of the adjective or by using the word "more" before the adjective.

On the other hand, superlatives are used to indicate the highest degree of something among a group of three or more things. They are formed by adding "est" to the end of the adjective or by using the word "most" before the adjective.

Find more details about these grammar rules below.

Forming comparatives and superlatives

Here are the rules for forming comparatives and superlatives in English:

• Comparatives : Add "er" to the end of a one-syllable adjective, or use "more" before a two-syllable or longer adjective. Example: "hot" becomes "hotter," and "interesting" becomes "more interesting."
• Superlatives : Add "est" to the end of a one-syllable adjective, or use "most" before a two-syllable or longer adjective. Example: "hot" becomes "hottest," and "interesting" becomes "most interesting."

Reminder : Some adjectives have irregular comparatives and superlatives :

• "good" (comparative: "better," superlative: "best"),
• "bad" (comparative: "worse," superlative: "worst"),
• and "far" (comparative: "farther," superlative: "farthest").

When using comparatives, you can use "than" to compare two things. Example: "This book is more interesting than that one."

When using superlatives, you can use "of" to describe the greatest degree of a particular quality. Example: "This is the most interesting book of all."

It is important to note that in English, some adjectives cannot be compared, like "perfect" or "unique."

All in all, these five elements of English grammar will give you a basic framework for speaking coherent, unambiguous, fluent English. As the building blocks of grammar, they are just a start, but they will give you a strong foundation to you begin your English journey seamlessly.

Grammar 101: Building a Foundation for Great Writing with Grammar Basics

Grammar—all those rules and structures that govern written and spoken language—might seem to some like a tedious affair. But the truth is that without some rules in place to follow, we would probably struggle to understand each other’s speech and writing at all. In fact, whether you know it or not, you’ve already acquired an understanding of many grammar rules just by going about your business.

While many of these grammar rules are made to be broken, having a basic awareness and command of grammar in your writing is of vital importance: With the right understanding and approach, you can help ensure that you present your best self on the page—you can make sure that your best ideas are clearly presented and understood by whoever reads them.

Write with Confidence using Editor

Elevate your writing with real-time, intelligent assistance

Word processing features like spelling and grammar checkers can make it easy to spot simple errors in our writing. And AI-powered digital writing assistants like Microsoft Editor and Grammarly with more advanced features and capabilities can make it even easier to ensure that your writing is clear, error-free, and the best that it can be. But being armed with a range of in-depth grammatical knowledge can still be a huge help for which there’s no real substitute. Not only will you be able to able to pick out potential mistakes on your own, but you’ll have a better sense of all the tools available to you to get your best ideas across.

At the end of the day, gaining grammar knowledge is all about expanding that tool set. Because great writers aren’t just creative thinkers and communicators; they’re also master technicians who are highly conscious of how to structure and control their words on the page—whether that’s in emails or letters , resumes or reports .

So to jumpstart your journey toward mastery, we’ve covered some of the grammar basics that will get you on your way.

Basic Grammar Concepts: Parts of Speech

To start expanding your grammar knowledge, it’s helpful to begin with an understanding of the eight traditional parts of speech that make up our sentences: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, interjections, and conjunctions. Each of these parts of speech has a distinct role to play in how we communicate, and a grasp of their basic definition and function will serve you well in any future grammar lessons.

Nouns: The people, places, things, or ideas we refer to in our writing and speech. Nouns can refer to concrete, unique things as well as abstract concepts.

Examples: accountant, New York, boredom, Tom Hanks

While there a number of ways to classify all the kinds of the people, places, and things that we refer to in language, nouns can broadly be broken down into categories:

• Examples: woman, car, city, mountain, book
• Examples: Alice, Ford Edsel, Beijing, Denali, Moby Dick

Pronouns: Words that take the place of any nouns in a sentence.

Examples: I, me, my, she, he, they, we, who, yours, them

Verbs: Words that express actions or states of being. Verbs typically indicate what the subject (or main noun) in a sentence is doing or feeling.

Examples: I wrote a sentence. I called my mother. I will walk my dog. I am happy.

Adjectives: Adjectives provide description in our sentences. Crucially, though, they specifically identify, modify, or describe a noun.

Examples: I wrote a beautiful sentence. I called my wonderful mother. I will walk my restless dog. I am happy .

Adverbs: Adverbs also add description to our sentences. However, what distinguishes them from adjectives is that they describe verbs—instead of characterizing a person, place, or thing, adverbs provide information about when, where, why, and how something is done.

Examples: I carefully wrote a sentence. I finally called my mother. Importantly , I walked my dog. I am very happy.

Prepositions: These words link information about the time, location, or logical relationship of one noun to another word in a given sentence. Importantly, they tell us things like when or where one thing is among other things.

Examples: I wrote a sentence in a Word document. I called my mother on her birthday. I walked my dog around the park.

Interjections: Often followed by exclamation points, these are words or expressions that convey emotions.

Examples: Oops! There’s an error in that sentence. Oh, gosh! I forgot to call my mother.

Conjunctions: These words (like and , but , and or ) connect words, concepts, parts of sentences, and even whole sentences.

Examples: I wanted to call my mother. However , I ran out of time today. I will make it up to her and call sometime tomorrow.

Identifying Parts of Speech

Once you’ve got these basic grammar concepts down, you’ll be on your way to becoming an expert. Of course, you’ll need to not just be able to know what distinguishes these parts of speech but also identify them in a given sentence. To help, here a few tips to identifying certain parts of speech based on their suffixes—that is, based on the letters that come at the end of the word:

Nouns: -ance (insurance); -dom (freedom); -ence (persistence); -er (trainer); -or (editor); -ism (modernism); -ist (scientist); -ity (responsibility); -ness (happiness); -ship (championship)

Verbs: -ate (indicate); -ify (specify); -ize (specialize). While you’ll have to look more closely at these words to know their part of speech, verbs can also end in -s (she walks ), -ed (she walked ), and -n or -en (she has fallen ; her offer was withdrawn ).

Adjectives: -able (comfortable); -al (temporal); -ible (terrible); -esque (picturesque); -ful (beautiful); -ic (drastic); -ish (selfish); -ive (apprehensive); -ous (gorgeous); -less (careless); -y (creamy).

Adverbs: -ly (carefully). While many adverbs end in -ly, there are exceptions to watch out for: Anytime you add -ly to an adjective it creates an adverb. However, adding –ly to a noun produces an adjective (brotherly, cowardly).

Beginning Grammar: Sentence Components and Verb Tenses

Sentence components.

In English grammar, sentences are composed of two principal parts: the subject and the predicate . In simple terms, the subject is who or what the sentence is about. Meanwhile, the predicate contains information about the subject.

Example Sentence: The city of Chicago is a beautiful place to visit.

• Subject: The city of Chicago
• Predicate: is a beautiful place to visit.

Almost all sentences will include both of these parts, although there are some exceptions. For instance, an in imperative sentence (one that communicates a command or demand) typically omits the subject of the sentence (usually you) because it is understood or implied, as in: Pass the butter, please. or Give me a break! or Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

Verb Tenses

One other helpful tool to kick start your grammar learning journey is a basic understanding of verb tenses. In short, verb tense refers to when the action a verb describes occurs. While each of these breaks down into further, more specific classifications, that’s a more advanced lesson for another day. For now, you can get through Grammar 101 with a simple understanding of the three main verb tenses:

Past: Past tense verbs describe something that has already happened

Example: I ran a marathon.

Present: The present tense describes things that are happening currently or continuously.

Example: I am running a marathon. I run marathons.

Future: Future tense verbs describe an action that has not happened yet or will happen.

Example: I will run a marathon next year.

Continuing On: Beyond Basic Grammar

All this information, of course, just scratches the surface. Grammar is ultimately a limitless pursuit, and one which evolves along with any language over time—just as your understanding and mastery of it will as you keep reading and writing.

But this lesson in Grammar 101 should still serve you well as you look to improve your own writing skills. Whatever you’re writing and wherever you’re writing it—whether it’s in Google Docs or Microsoft Word —you can take these basic English grammar concepts and terms and build on them.

More importantly, you can build your confidence and start to move on to the nitty-gritty aspects of not just grammar but what makes great writing truly great, taking each lesson back with you every time you explore your brightest ideas on the page.

One of the most difficult things about learning a new language is grammar. It can be hard to keep track of all the different rules and when to use them. But don't worry, we're here to help. Are you looking to improve your English grammar skills? In this blog post, you will get 10 basic English grammar rules that every beginner should know. By the end of this post, you will have a better understanding of how to use grammar correctly in your everyday life. 10 Basic English Grammar rule for beginners The English language can be very confusing for beginners. There are so many rules to remember and it can be difficult to know where to start. Today I'm going to share with you 10 basic English grammar rules that every beginner should know. 1. Check your use of adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives, which normally appear in front of a noun, characterize, identify, and quantify individuals or objects. They remain unchanged if the noun is

plural. Adverbs, which normally occur after the verb, modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. As an example: He's a slow driver. (adjective) He drives slowly. (adverb) Most adverbs are created by adding -ly to an adjective, as seen in the example. 2.Take note of homophones. Homophonic words are those that are pronounced similarly to other words but have distinct meanings, even if they are spelled differently. This can easily cause misunderstanding, and several of these words exist in English. As an example: they're – their – there you're – your it's – its I – eye here – hear break – brake flower – flour our – hour So, while you're writing, make sure to use proper spelling. 3. Use the correct verb conjugation. Remember to modify the verb to match the topic. The major subjects to be cautious of are he, she, and it because they frequently have a distinct form from the others. As an example: She has two cats. RIGHT She have two cats. WRONG This may appear to be a minor error, but it is a very visible one, so try to get into the habit of conjugating verbs correctly. 4. Connect your ideas with conjunctions

A conjunction is a word that can be used to connect two thoughts or brief phrases. As an example, I'm studying ICT. ICT is important. Becomes: I'm studying ICT because it's important. 5. Get familiar with the main English verb tenses You won't be familiar with all the tenses if you're just starting to learn English. And it's all right. Just concentrate on learning the four or five that are utilized the most. Attempt to be able to employ these Present simple is used to describe routines and ongoing circumstances. For example, We live in New York. Present continuous is used to represent both present circumstances and upcoming plans. For example, I'm meeting John later. To describe completed past acts, use the past simple. For example, They arrived at 3 p.m. To explain previous events related to the present, use the present perfect tense. For example, We've finished the reports. Will - used to indicate upcoming behavior. For example, I'll meet you in front of the conference center. 6. Be careful with countable and uncountable or mass nouns Some nouns in English are countable and others are uncountable. This means that you can use some nouns with a/an and the plural form, and you can use other nouns only in the singular. For example, We have two cats. RIGHT We have a lot of furnitures. WRONG We have a lot of furniture. RIGHT To avoid making this mistake, try to memorize which nouns are countable and which aren't. Or, if you're not sure, look them up in a dictionary. 7. Pay attention to prepositions

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between two things. For example, The book is on the table. The cat is under the chair. I'm interested in learning English. I'm looking forward to seeing you. There are many prepositions in English and unfortunately, there isn't always a logical reason for which preposition you use with which verb or noun. The best way to learn prepositions is to memorize the most common combinations. 8. Use the correct article Remember to use a/an before singular countable nouns when you're talking about something for the first time. For example, I have a new car. RIGHT I have new car. WRONG When you're talking about something that's already been mentioned or is common knowledge, you can use the. For example, The sun is a star. RIGHT A sun is a star. WRONG 9. Learn vocabulary specific to your field If you're studying a particular subject, you'll need to learn the vocabulary that is specific to that area. For example, if you're interested in business, you'll need to know words like marketing, sales, accounts, and so on. If you're interested in medicine, you'll need to know words like doctor, hospital, patient, and so on. The best way to learn this vocabulary is to read and listen to as much material as possible in your field of interest. 10. Practice, practice, practice

Practicing is the only way to become an expert in English grammar. So, don’t forget to practice the below rules. English has two main pronouns - he and she. When referring to a person, you should always use the correct pronoun. For example, if you're talking about a woman, you would say "she" not "he." There are another two common English pronouns - I and you. Remember to use the correct pronoun when referring to someone. For example, you would say "I am walking to the store" if you're the one walking, but you would say "You are walking to the store" if the person you're talking to is the one walking. There are three verb tenses in English - past, present, and future. Remember to conjugate verbs correctly depending on which tense you're using. For example, the verb "to walk" would be conjugated as "walked" in the past tense and "will walk" in the future tense. The present tense in English can be either simple or progressive. The simple present tense is used for habitual actions or for facts that are always true. For example, you would say "I walk to the store every day" in the simple present tense. The progressive present tense is used for actions that are happening right now. For example, you would say "I am walking to the store" in the progressive present tense. There are four main sentence types in English - declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative. Declarative sentences make a statement and they usually end with a period. Interrogative sentences ask a question and they usually end with a question mark. Exclamatory sentences express strong emotion and they usually end with an exclamation point. Imperative sentences give a command and they usually end with a period. Every sentence in English must have a subject and a verb. The subject is the noun or pronoun that is doing the verb. For example, in the sentence "I am walking to the store," the subject is "I" and the verb is "am walking." There are two main kinds of English verbs - regular and irregular. Regular verbs follow a specific conjugation pattern in the present tense. For example, the verb "to walk" would be conjugated as "walk, walks, walked." Irregular verbs don't follow a specific conjugation pattern and they usually have a different form in the past tense. For example, the verb "to be" is conjugated as "was, were." English has two main kinds of adjectives - descriptive and limiting. Descriptive adjectives describe a noun or pronoun. For example, you would say "The blue car is fast" to describe the car. Limiting adjectives limit the noun or pronoun. For example, you would say "The only car on the road is the blue car" to limit the car. Subject-Verb Agreement: One of the most basic grammar rules is that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree with each other in number. This means that if the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular; and if

the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. For example: Singular subject: The cat drinks milk. Plural subject: The cats drink milk. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement: Pronouns must agree with their antecedents in number, gender, and person. An antecedent is the word or phrase to which a pronoun refers. For example: Singular pronoun: Every student must hand in his or her paper on time. Plural pronoun: All of the students must hand in their papers on time. Use of There is/There are: We use “there is” when we are referring to a singular noun and “there are” when we are referring to a plural noun. For example: There is a cat on the roof. There are two cats on the roof. Hope you found these 10 basic English grammar rules helpful.
