English grammar is said to be a subject worthy of a post in any well-known education website. The question whether English grammar has been good or bad over the years, is still a burning topic debated by many people all over the world. However, for the purpose of this article, we would like to point out some grammatical peculiarities that need to be highlighted while writing English papers. It will be said that most of these problems are caused by the use of poor sentence formation and indirect speech.
Every sentence starts with a preposition. In case the sentence ends in a semicolon, the preposition must be repeated. For example: James is walking home. The subject in this sentence is “James” and the verb is “walking”. Even though the subject in this sentence is mentioned first, the verb “walks” comes last in the phrase under discussion.
It is not easy to understand why people find it so difficult to write English sentences with perfect grammar and perfect pronunciation. This is because English is a language of great complexity and it has a vast number of sentence types. English has one sentence types for each of the five senses namely, audible, tactile, visual, taste and smell. English has also a single sentence type for all tenses: the progressive, the tense, the modal and the perfective.
English does not have any singular keyword, which means that all words have an equal number of definitions. The sentence can either be a clausal expression (an object enclosed within a verb) or an indirect speech. A grammatical problem in English sentence structure is a failure to distinguish between these two kinds of speech.
In English, a main clause is always enclosed in a verb (and an indirect speech). A main clause is a part of a larger statement and in this case the verb will be subject. A main clause in English can either be a complete sentence or an ambiguous sentence. If you want to make an ambiguous sentence, you need to use a pronoun but you need to place it after the noun: “He told her not to worry about the dog.” “The dog is cute though”
An ambiguous sentence is a sentence that contains more than one possible meaning. In English grammar, an ambiguous sentence can have a perspective or a modal depending on its placement. A perfective sentence is a sentence that either implies a main meaning or is dependent upon a main meaning. An example of a perfective sentence is “The girl is beautiful”. A modal sentence is a sentence that can either demand a specific thing or can refer to something that is not definite such as “the cat is green”. These are the only two types of grammatical usage that have a place in English grammar.
English grammar can be broken down into tense. Tense refers to the arrangement of words within a sentence and is also the major point of distinction in the English language. The most common tense is the present tense. Tense can be easily understood when you observe the proper use of it in English sentences. For example, if I were to say, “The girl was running towards the bus” then we know that she is running towards a bus in the present tense.
As you can see English grammar can be very confusing. Even for those who are fluent in the English language, it is important to brush up on the different types of grammar that are used. You can do this with a free online grammar checker or through personal practice. Once you learn the basic rules, you will be well on your way to becoming fluent in English.
