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.

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-:

What is Speaking Section #IELTS

Fluency,Grammar,Vocabulary,Pronunciation

Speaking section takes place in the first part of the IELTS. This section is common for both the general as well as the academic aspirants. Similar questions are asked to both of them and wrap up in at most five minutes. It starts with an introduction. First, the examiner introduces himself/herself and then asks for your introduction. Questions concerning you are asked in this section. They are usually about your growing days? Or may about your academics or your family? There may be some queries regarding your favorite sports or food? Questions about your work also pop up.
Now, what does the examiner looks for, while asking these questions

FLUENCY

What the examiner is trying to find out here is whether you can make some effective conversations or not. So, avoid using filler words like “umm” or “aaaa” while speaking. When the examiner checks for your fluency they also check whether you start from some topic and end in there or you wander.

VOCABULARY

You must have heard that a person vocabulary tells the mental growth of the person. So work on your vocabulary. Avoid using words with less rank. E.g., good, bad, okay. Rather use may be fantastic, disappointing, excited etc.

GRAMMAR

When the examiner checks for your grammar they don’t just see whether you used the tenses in a correct way. They also consider whether you make use of all the tenses or are you just stuck with one.

PRONUNCIATION

Make sure you always pronounce the word in the correct way. Why do they check this? To make sure that you are able to make meaningful conversations with people in their country. So make sure you pronounce correctly.

Remember, you are marked equally on all of them. So, focus on all of them. Go into the room with confidence. Be friendly and you surely will come out with success on your shoulders.
