    Study Notes

    Grammar is essential when it comes to writing effectively in English. It's what makes your sentences clear and conveys the intended meaning accurately. Understanding basic grammatical rules can help you express yourself better. Here are some key points about using correct grammar:

    1. A sentence has both subject and verb. These two parts of speech must agree with each other grammatically. For example, if I say 'I saw the movie', the pronoun 'he' doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit into this sentence structure.

    2. Nouns have cases like singular, plural, accusative, etc., which change according to their functions within a sentence.

    3. Adjectives modify nouns by adding information about them such as color, shape, size, origin, purpose, etc. They come before the noun they describe unless there is another word between them that would create confusion.

    4. Verbs take direct objects and indirect objects depending on their function in the sentence. Direct objects receive the action from the verb while indirect objects usually indicate who benefits from the action.

    5. Prepositions show relationships among words in a sentence, indicating where things are located, how far away one thing is from another, whether something happened during a certain period, etc..

    6. Pronouns replace nouns so that you don't need to repeat names all the time. They also act as placeholders until you decide what specific person or object you want to refer to in a given context.

    Remembering these basics will definitely improve your grasp over simple grammar mistakes made while speaking or writing sentences. Practice makes perfect! So keep practicing and refining your skills regularly.
