Study Notes
Grammar is the study of how words combine into meaningful sentences and phrases. It includes rules about word order, punctuation, capitalization, stress patterns, intonation, and more. One common aspect of grammar is the distinction between definite and indefinite pronouns. Definite pronouns refer back to specific nouns, while indefinite ones don't point out any particular thing. Another important part of grammar is time, with tenses such as present, past, and future. For example, the future tense can be used when talking about something that will happen later. Adjectives describe people, things, places, events, objects, emotions, ideas, etc., by giving extra information about them. They usually come before the noun they modify. Adverbs tell you how a verb action was done; they show the manner in which an action is performed. These four aspects—future tense, indefinite pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs—are just some parts that make up this complex system we call grammar.
