Grammar

-----English Grammar-----

Hello friends! The very first thing to learn English Grammar is that we must have the knowledge of the term “Grammar”

Generally people think that Grammar is a set of rules for the language but it is a set of rules of the language. Languages didn't start after the rules. They were started by people to express their thoughts.After that they were studied by specialists to know the structures commonly used by the people who spoke that language. In this way the structures of the sentences and uses of the words and phrases used by the native speakers were noted down as the Grammar of that language to help the people to learn and understand that language.

Now the question comes if English Grammar is necessary to speak English. The simple answer is NO. But if you don't have the environment in which English is spoken most of the time, then it will help you a lot in learning the structures of English. So if you want to learn English without an English speaking environment,then English Grammar will help you a lot in learning fast an correct English .

The second reason to learn English Grammar is that it will help you a lot in various competition tests. With the good knowledge of Grammar you can tell whether a sentence is wrong or right.
Look at the sentences below : -

1).“It is me.”
2).“It is I.”
In the sentences above the first one sounds good and we may say that it is the right sentence but the right one is the second sentence.
Why the second sentence is right?
The answer is :-
The second sentence is right because verbs of incomplete predication take pronouns in subjective case as their objects.

“WHAT WILL WE LEARN IN THIS SECTION ?”
Here in this section (GRAMMAR) we will learn
1).“BASIC GRAMMAR”
&
