Basic Grammar

Grammar forms the basis of any language. To learn a language the first step is to learn the grammar.
For today let us look into the four components of grammar

  1. Noun
  2. Verb
  3. Adjective
  4. Adverb

WHAT ARE THEY??

NOUN
A noun is a person, place, thing or an idea. The noun which names a particular person, place , thing or idea is a proper noun. For example. Carlos, anmol, eram, delhi, Canada, god, congress party. The noun which refers to general person, place, thing or idea are common nouns. Like, horse, humans etc.
VERB
Verb is an action word. It is used to describe an action. This action may or may not be visible to others. For eg. Run, jog, dance are actions that are visible, but think is not visible to others. But since you are doing it, it is a verb.
ADVERB
An adverb describes the verb. It simply tells how an action is taking place. For eg. I run fast. Here fast is an adverb, because it tells how the action is taking place.
ADJECTIVE
An adjective describes noun. It could be the color, the size, shape or anything associated with noun. For example-: I have a black cat. The laptop is the slimmest.
Here black and slimmest are adjectives.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

wheat exports in 1985-1990

wheat exports in 1985-1990

Sample Answer

The graph shows the variation in the amount of wheat exported in three countries over a period of five years i.e. 1985-1990.

Initially, in the year 1985, there wasn’t a major difference in the exports among the three countries, with Australia having 15 million tonnes wheat exported, while Canada and European Community exported approximately 18 and 20 million tonnes respectively.

For the next four years i.e 1986 to 1989, Canada experienced its highest wheat export in the year 1988 at 25 million tonnes and lowest peak of overseas sales when it dropped down to 15 million tonnes in 1989. During this period, Australia witnessed a gradual decrease from 15 million tonnes to 10 million tonnes. However, in contrast, European Community after hitting its lowest point in 1986 saw an increase in the amount of wheat brought to Europe in 1987 which remained constant until 1988.

Finally, in the year 1990, Canada and European Community exported 12 million tonnes of grain marking a gradual increase in their wheat trade. On the other hand, figures remained constant for Australia.

Overall, Australia observed a decline in its wheat export while the European Community witnessed an opposite trend. In contrast, there were major fluctuations in the wheat export in Canada.
