Grammar Basics

Grammar is the set of rules that govern the structure of language, including syntax, morphology, and phonology.

Word-Level Grammar

Word-level grammar covers the internal structure of words, including morphology, which deals with the formation of words and their relationships.
It explores how words are formed from roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

Determiners

Determiners are words that express the reference of a noun in a sentence, indicating whether it is specific or general.
Examples of determiners include articles (the, a, an), possessive adjectives (my, your, his), demonstratives (this, that, these), and quantifiers (some, any, all).

Prepositions

Prepositions express the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.
They indicate location, direction, time, manner, or other relationships between entities.

Phrase Types

The five main types of phrase in English are:
- Noun phrase (NP): a phrase that functions as a noun, e.g. "the big red car".
- Verb phrase (VP): a phrase that functions as a verb, e.g. "will eat".
- Adjective phrase (AdjP): a phrase that functions as an adjective, e.g. "very happy".
- Adverb phrase (AdvP): a phrase that functions as an adverb, e.g. "very quickly".
- Prepositional phrase (PP): a phrase that functions as a preposition, e.g. "in the book".
