2.  English grammar is the way in which
meanings are encoded into wordings in
the English language.This includes the
structure of words, phrases, clauses, and
sentences, right up to the structure of
whole texts.

3.  Proper nouns and common nouns
A proper noun is a noun directly associated
with an entity and primarily used to refer to
that entity, as distinguished from a common
noun, which is a noun directly associated
with a class of entities and primarily used to
refer to instances of a specific class.
 Countable and uncountable nouns
These are common nouns that can take a plural,
can combine with numerals or counting
quantifiers and can take an indefinite article
such as a or an.
 Collective nouns
Collective nouns are nouns that even
when they are inflected for the
singular refer to groups consisting of
more than one individual or entity.

4.  In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun is a word that
substitutes for a noun or noun phrase. It is a
particular case of a pro-form.
Types
 Personal.
 Reflexive and reciprocal.
 Possessive.
 Demonstrative.
 Indefinite.
 Relative.
 Interrogative.

5.  In linguistics, an adjective is a describing
word, the main syntactic role of which is to
qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more
information about the object signified.

6.  A verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a
word that in syntax conveys an action, an
occurrence, or a state of being. In the usual
description of English, the basic form, with or
without the particle to, is the infinitive. In many
languages, verbs are inflected to encode tense,
aspect, mood, and voice. A verb may also agree with
the person, gender or number of some of its
arguments, such as its subject, or object.Verbs have
tenses: present, to indicate that an action is being
carried out; past, to indicate that an action has been
done; future, to indicate that an action will be done.

7.  An adverb is a word that modifies a verb,
adjective, determiner, clause, preposition, or
sentence.Adverbs typically express manner,
place, time, frequency, degree, level of
certainty, etc., answering questions such as
how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to
what extent?.This function is called the
adverbial function, and may be realized by
single words or by multi-word expressions.

8.  English determiners constitute a relatively
small class of words.They include the articles
the a (an), certain demonstrative and
interrogative words such as this, that, and
which, possessives such as my and whose,
various quantifying words like all, some,
many, various, and numerals as one, two, etc.

9.  Prepositions are a class of words used to
express spatial or temporal relations or mark
various semantic roles
 In grammar, a conjunction is a part of
speech that connects words, phrases, or
clauses that are called the conjuncts of the
conjoining construction.

10. ENGLISH GRAMMAR
 English tends to have more
of a hierarchy of words
where many of our basic and
more conversational words
sound Germanic - "home",
"water", "life"... and many of
our more academic words
sound much more Latin -
"domicile", "aqua", "vitality".
SPANISH GRAMMAR
 Spanish is much more
phonetic. Except in the case
of loanwords (words that
come from other languages),
spanish's pronunciation
remains very uniform and
the language goes out of its
way to make pronunciation
easy for people
