11 rules of English Grammar

Every language has its own grammar. I am going to explain these 11 rules of Grammar to avoid those errors and write and speak well.

I live in Prague. It is a wonderful place. Correct: Rule 1: Every sentence should start with a Capital letter in the first word. In the English Language, when you are starting a sentence, then make sure that you capitalize the first letter of the first word. Also, remember that you need to capitalize even when you start a new paragraph.

Rule 2: Every sentence should either end with a full stop (or) a question mark (or) an exclamation mark. If you want to end a sentence, then make sure that you need to use a full stop (.), a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) based on the type of the sentence.b) c)

a). Full Stop/Period (.): Here, the full stop is used when a sentence completes a proper message (meaning). The symbol used for the full stop is (.). I am living in Prague for 2 years. I like reading and listening to music. b). Question Mark (?): Question marks are used only for questioning (or) interrogating sentences. It is used at the end of the sentence, to make it questionable. The symbol used for questioning is “?”. Do you know who I am?Where do you live? c). Exclamation Mark (!): An Exclamation Mark is used when you are expressing your feelings or emotions. The symbol which is used for the sentence is “!”. Wow, such a wonderful place it is!

Rule 3: Every positive sentence should have SVO (Subject – Verb – Object). The basic rule of grammar in the English Language is that you must include Subject and Verb. The object is optional depending on the usage. Correct : Dave likes to play with his dog.

Rule 4: The Subject and Verb forms are interrelated in the sentence. If you are using a singular Subject, then you need to use a singular Verb for the whole sentence and if you want to use a Plural subject, then you must use a plural verb. If you are using he/she/it as a Subject, then use its corresponding verb and when using we/they/I/you, then use its verb. Correct: Dora wants to buy a new book. We are going to the Zoo this weekend. We don’t like to wath this program . My friends are watching a football match on TV.

Rule 5: Use Either – or (or) Neither – nor depending on the Sentence while using singular nouns. In English sentences, Either – or and Neither – nor is used when two singular nouns are connected. These two are different in usage. Also, remember that the singular verb is used for singular nouns. Either – or: Either – or is used when any one of the two cases is true. This means that either this must be true or that. For example : I want either Tea or Coffee. Neither – or: Neither – or is used when two of the (subject) cases are false. This means that both are false. For example : Neither Tom or Tim didn’t late today.

Rule 6: Proper Nouns should be capitalized anywhere in the sentences (including at the beginning) when used. It is important to capitalize on the words which are Proper Nouns. This can be at the beginning, middle and end of the sentences (in short, anywhere in the sentence). I live in London. I like to travell. I was in Paris, Prague, Berlin last summer.

Rule 7: The words its – it’s, and you’re – your are not the same. Some words in the English Language look like they are the same, but they have different meanings. Now let us take some examples to understand the concept well.its: It is a Possessive determiner and used to say that it belongs (holds or refers to) something. This table is too big for its room. it’s: Here “it’s” is the short form of “it is” and is used to mention things. It’s always snowing here in winter.

Rule 8: Use Indefinite Articles for Countable Nouns and Definite with specific Countable & all Uncountable Nouns. The Indefinite Articles (a/an) are used mostly for Countable nouns. Definite Articles (the) are used for a few Countable nouns and mostly for Uncountable nouns. I saw an airplane which is flying very high in the sky. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Ann is a brilliant student in the class. Matthew is a kind boy. He likes to help his classmates.

Rule 9: Use the article “a” for Consonant sounds and “an” for vowel sounds. Use the article “a” for the words which sound Consonant at the very beginning. Use the article “an” for the words which sound Vowel at the very beginning. {343 C41 FB-D2 D7-41 A1-B70 E-89 FAD5 CA24 CA}aan a day an evening a monkeyan airporta girlan apple a pupil an agreementa skirt an eagle But an hour

Rule 10: Use Apostrophe to show Possessions. Possession is something which is usually owned by a person, place, thing, etc. It has two forms, which are Singular and Plural. For Singular use -‘s. Boy’s car For Plural use - s’ Boys’ car

Rule 11: Active voice is more preferred than Passive voice in the English Language. An Active voice is a sentence in which the subject performs an action (verb). Harry plays football. Whereas in Passive Voice, the Verb (action) is displayed first and then the Subject. Football was played by Harry.
