Mastering the Rules

Grammar is the set of rules that governs how we use words in sentences. It includes verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, pronouns, and more.

Key Concepts

  • Subject-verb agreement: The verb must match the subject in number (singular or plural).
  • Pronoun usage: Pronouns replace nouns and must agree in number and gender.
  • Verb tenses: Show when an action happens (past, present, future).

Why Grammar Matters

Using correct grammar helps you sound professional and avoids confusion. It also makes your writing more persuasive and credible.

Everyday Applications

From texting friends to writing essays, grammar is everywhere. Knowing the basics helps you communicate confidently in any situation.

Examples

  • He walks to school every day.

  • They were playing soccer yesterday.
