Revising Basic English Grammar:What is Grammar?

What is Grammar?

[Here’s an old children’s rhyme about the eight parts of
speech of English grammar. It gives you an idea of what
grammar is about. Read and remember it.]

Every name is called a noun,
As field and fountain, street and town.
In place of noun the pronoun stands,
As he and she can clap their hands.
The adjective describes a thing,
As magic wand or bridal ring.
Most verbs mean action, something done,
To read and write, to jump and run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As quickly, slowly, badly, well.
The preposition shows relation,
As in the street or at the station.
Conjunctions join, in many ways,
Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase.
The interjection cries out, “Heed!
An exclamation point must
follow me!”

  1. Nice Blog, A quality job depends as much on data on the different subject as on good communication skills. We have Evolution courses that thought of giving taking in of English from basic levels to advanced levels, concentrating more on grammar and vocabulary points. Thanks for Sharing.
