Parts of Speech in English
Every day I hear a very common sentence, i.e. "How can we improve my basic grammar". How can I quickly improve my grammar? I reply to this question that English is a very easy and interesting language, which starts with " I". Following are a few special steps (Daily One Exercise) which can help you to learn the English language easily:
- "I" is a personal pronoun, which is spoken by the speaker when he/she expresses or reveals his/her feelings.
- Personal pronoun, "I" takes the following auxiliary verbs, such as, am, have, was, shall, e.g.
I am a student.
I have many books.
I was not absent yesterday.
I shall work hard to win the match. - "Subject + Verb + Object" is used in active voice sentences, and
- "Object + auxiliary verb + Past Participle of the main verb+ Prepositional phrase.
Examples - I am interested in my studies.
- They are amazed at her response.
- The use of Past Participle and Present Participle will help you a lot to learn English grammar.
- I have broken a mirror. ('broken' is past participle here), and
- I have a broken mirror. ('broken' is past participle adjective)
- I am breaking a news. ('breaking' is present participle here), and
- I have got a breaking news. ('breaking' is present participle adjective)
- Concepts of Present Participle, Present Participle Adjective, Past Participle, and Past Participle Adjective will boost up your grammatical concepts.
