What is adverb? Adverb is a part of speech in a sentence that strengthens the action of a verb (action). It will come next to the noun always. How can we identify an ADVERB in a sentence? As an adverb increases the action of an action in a sentence, it should describe to the interrogative questions such as HOW (HOW much, HOW often, HOW long, and HOW far), WHEN, and WHERE. The particular word that gives answer to that question in a sentence is ADVERB. Examples: 1. Private buses in our country travel SWIFT.   (buses travel HOW?). 2. Do your home work FAST.  (do the home work HOW?) 3. Devi and Ramu have been loving each other since their CHILDHOOD.  (they love HOW long) 4. Ambani is the RICHEST man.  (HOW is he) 5. News comes EVERY ONE HOUR in this channel.   (news come HOW often) Usage of “THERE” as an adverb: There introduces a subject in a sentence temporarily. This works as a temporary subject in a sentence. When we use...

THREE DEGREES OF ADJECTIVE: 1. POSITIVE DEGREE: Simple adjectives are all in the state of positive degree because they do the job of only describing about the noun simply. For example: 1. Varalakshmi is TALL girl. 2. David is a BRIGHT student in the class. 3. Our house is a SMALL one. 4. Maradona was SHORT football player. 5. Cleopatra had been a BEAUTIFUL woman. 6. He is such an UGLY boy. 7. THAT question paper is very difficult (demonstrative pronoun as an adjective). In the above sentences Tall, Bright, Small, Short, Little, Beautiful, Ugly, That are used in POSITIVE DEGREE. The adjectives just describes the noun. 2. COMPARATIVE DEGREE: In this degree we use adjective to describe a noun and comparing any two persons or things or to compare one thing with other things those are more than two. We take the above positive degree adjectives to describe comparative degree. Varalakshmi is TALL girl comparing other student Vani in the class. So we c...

In the series of PARTS OF SPEECH now we are going to learn about two of the parts of speech called ADJECTIVE. What is an ADJECTIVE? A word that describes about the noun in a sentence is adjective. It takes place generally in the left side of a noun. A pronoun cannot be used with an adjective. Examples: James is a good singer. In the above sentence GOOD is an adjective, which describes about the noun James. See more examples. That temple is very powerful. THAT is adjective because it describes about a temple. We all know that all temples are powerful, but here THAT describes a particular temple as a powerful one. So THAT a demonstrative pronoun here plays the role of an adjective. We can use demonstrative pronoun as an adjective. See another example. All politicians are not honest in our country. (HONEST describes the noun all politicians). See more examples: 1. John has been a tremendous scientist since 1980. (tremendous describes about John’s...

What is cancer? We all should know about this fatal disease condition.  Most people die after some months or years once cancer affects them.  It affects all sort of social level people. So we must know about cancer. Cancer is a deadly disease, and what will it do for a patient who is affected with it? And how can we define cancer and how it develops?  We should understand these questions first to know well about cancer.  Cancer is not a single disease condition like cough or fever, but cancer is of different types somewhat approximately 100 in number.  Will it affect any particular organ or system in our body? No.  It will affect more or less all body organs and systems.  Even the delicate organs like eyes and heart can even be affected by cancer when it spreads to those organs. In total cancer is a fatal disease condition of affecting overall body cells when it affects a patient. As there are 100 more types of cancerous conditio...

VERB: Every human being is doing some actions in the world always. These actions may happen in the past, present, or future. So we can define a verb as a word of any ACTION done by any human being. For example, GO, COME, TAKE, BATH, SEE. These words denote an action of a human being. Based on the time of action a verb can be classified as three such as PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. We will learn more about each of these in detail. AUXILIARIES AND AUXILIARY VERBS: Auxiliary verb is a word helping a verb. A verb cannot be separated from verb. Only one auxiliary can help at a time to a verb. List of Auxiliary verbs: Everyone is learning English grammar must memorize these auxiliaries like a song lines. IS, AM, WAS, HAS, HAVE, HAD, DO, DOES, DID, BE, BEEN, BEING, ARE, WERE, CAN, COULD, SHALL, SHOULD, WILL, WOULD, MAY, MIGHT, MUST, NEED, KEEP, KEPT, USED TO, OUGHT TO, GOING TO, DARE, NEVER As we already explained a verb cannot stand lonely, one auxiliary must ...

One should differentiate which is subjective pronoun and which is objective pronoun based on the usage of the pronouns. Pronouns are of five types. 1. Possessive pronouns 2. Demonstrative pronouns 3. Distributive pronouns 4. Reciprocal pronouns 5. Indefinite pronouns 1. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS: The possessive pronoun can be indicated by a sign (‘) and a letter ‘s’ to a noun. The examples are given below: Examples: Singular Nouns can be expressed like this, David’s car (his car) Lakshmi’s bed (her bed) The Car’s light (its light) Pleural Nouns can be expressed like this, The children’s toys (their toys) Daniel’ bike (his bike) Boys’ hostel (their hostel) Girls’ bus (their bus) See the two sentences below. This is her watch. This watch is hers. The second one the effective one. 2. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS: This type of pronoun is used to point at a certain object like we use our index finger to point at something. We may use demonstrative pronouns e...

In this lesson we will learn more about PRONOUN and its aspects. Every sentence in English contains three important parts i.e. SUBJECT-VERB-OBJECT. For example consider this sentence, The Sun Rises in the East. In this The Sun is Subject Rises is Verb In the East is Object SUBJECT and OBJECT parts always contain a noun. In this part we can use a noun or a pronoun called SUBJECTIVE PRONOUN, as well as we can use a noun or a pronoun used in the object part called OBJECTIVE PRONOUN. In a sentence, there is also another type of pronoun called POSSESSIVE pronoun, this pronoun represents anything a person or a thing or a place possesses. Now we will see all the types of pronoun now. First Person: I, WE-subjective pronouns ME, US-objective pronouns MY, MINE, OUR, OURS-possessive pronouns Second Person: YOU-subjective pronoun YOU-objective pronoun YOUR, YOURS-possessive pronoun Third Person: HE, SHE, IT, THEY-subjective pronouns HIM, HER...

What does a PRONOUN mean? Pronoun is a word used to replace a noun. Each noun can be replaced by a pronoun. Basically Pronouns are of seven-they are of: 1. I 2. WE 3. YOU 4. HE 5. SHE 6. IT 7. THEY Every noun in English can be replaced by HE, SHE, IT, and THEY. For example, HE can replace any singular male human in the world. SHE can replace any singular female human, as well as IT will replace any inanimate object or thing. THEY can be used as a PLURAL noun for HE, SHE, and IT. This universe consists of only three persons i.e. the person or persons who is (or) are speaking, and the person or persons who is (or) are spoken to. Got confused, don’t worry, I will clear it now. The person or persons who is (or) are speaking i.e. I, WE, YOU (single or singular) and YOU (used for many or pleural), and the person or persons who is (or) are spoken to i.e. HE, SHE, IT, and THEY. Totally these are called in the name of PERSONAL PRONOUNS. PURE PRONOUNS-I, WE, ...

Singapore, New York, Boulevard, Garden, City-these words denote a PLACE Television, Car, Computer, Bed, Pen-these words denote a THING The Nouns are of four types: 1. Proper Noun 2. Common Noun 3.
