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

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.

Countable And Uncountable Nouns

The most common mistakes made my students in IELTS are in countable and uncountable nouns. So, for today let’s understand what countable and uncountable nouns are.

COUNTABLE NOUNS
Countable nouns are the ones which can be counted in numbers. For example-: one pen, five pens etc.

  1. Countable nouns can be singular or plural.
  2. The use of indefinite article a/an is allowed with the countable nouns.
  3. When the countable noun is singular, it is accompanied with words like a/an/the/my/this. For example-:
    1. This is an orange.
    2. I want a pen.

    You cannot say I don’t want pen!!

  4. When the countable noun is plural, we can use it alone.For example-:
    1. I love oranges.
    2. Pens are easier to write with.
  5. We can use some and many with the countable nouns.For example-:

    1. I have got some euros.
    2. Have you got any pencils?
  6. We can use a few and many with countable nouns. For example-:
    1. I have got a few pens.
    2. I haven’t got many cars.


TIP FOR THE COUNTABLE NOUNS-:
PEOPLE is a countable noun. PEOPLE is actually the plural of person. So, we can count it. For example-: there are three people in the room.

UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
Uncountable nouns are the ones which cannot be counted in numbers. For example-: information. There cannot be one information or many informations.

  1. Uncountable nouns are treated as singular.
  2. We cannot use articles with uncountable nouns.

For eg. There cannot be an information or a news.
We can use the following withthe uncountable nouns-:

  1. some. For example-:You need to have some fresh air.
  2. any. For example-: I am listening to some kind of music.
  3. a little For example-: Add a little water to it.
  4. much For example-: I didn’t heard much of what they were saying.
  5. No. For example-: I had no tea for them.
  6. Plenty of For example-: They must have had plenty of patience to deal with him.

TIP FOR UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS: Uncountable nouns are also known as “mass nouns”. For example-:
