Basic English Grammar
English grammar is the set of rules that explains how words are used in a sentence. Understanding basic grammar helps you write and speak correctly. Here are some important parts of basic English grammar:
Nouns
Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.
Examples: teacher, city, book, love
Pronouns
Pronouns take the place of nouns to avoid repetition.
Examples: he, she, it, they, we
Verbs
Verbs show actions or states of being.
Examples: run, eat, is, are
Every sentence needs a verb.
Adjectives
Adjectives describe nouns.
Examples: big, blue, happy, old
Example sentence: She has a big house.
Adverbs
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often tell how, when, or where.
Examples: quickly, very, now, outside
Example: He runs quickly.
Articles
There are three articles in English: a, an, and the.
a and an are used for general things.
the is used for specific things.

Sentence Structure
A basic sentence usually has a subject and a verb.

Sometimes, there is also an object: He eats (verb) an apple (object).
Tenses
Tenses show the time of an action.
Present: I eat
