1. 1) What is the English grammar?
Is the way in which meanings are encoded
into wordings in the English language? This
includes the structure of words, phrase,
clauses, and sentences, right up to
structure of whole texts.
2) How do you classify English
grammar?
a) Nouns: Are people, places or things,
they tell us what we are talking about.
The words cat, jack, rock, Africa y it
are nouns.
b) Adjectives: Adjectives modify, or
describe, nouns. The words tall,
beautiful, irresponsible and boring are
adjectives.
c) Adverbs: Adverbs modify adjectives,
verbs, or other adverbs. They tell us
how, when, and where, things happen.
They express quantity, intensity
frequency, and opinions.
d) Determiners: Articles, quantifiers,
and other determiners modify nouns.
They resemble adjectives in that way.
Determiners help us say what we are
talking about.
e) Verbs and verbs tenses: Verbs are
action words. They tell us what is
happening and when (past, present,
2. future). Verbs can also express
possibilities and conditions.
f) Speech: When we report what someone
says, we can cite the person directly
or indirectly. Indirect speech rules
are an important area of grammar.
g) Punctuation: Punctuation is not part
of oral grammar, but it is essential to
master in written English.
h) Relative clauses: We use relative
clauses in English to create more
complex and more precise sentences.
i) Grammar test: Test your English
grammar skills in context, both
listening and reading skills included.
3) Comparison between the English
grammar and Spanish grammar.
a) The nouns in English do not have
gender.
b) The adjectives go before nouns.
c) The negation is simple.
d) The subject is essential.
e) The order of the sentence is
practically unalterable.
f) The capital letter and punctuation
marks are used sliglitly different.
