An irregular verb is one that does not form its simple past tense or its past participle by adding "-ed" or "-d" to the base form. Irregular verbs contrast with regular verbs, which form the simple past tense and past participle by adding "-ed" or "-d."

A preposition is a word or group of words used before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Some examples of prepositions are words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to."

part of speech

A category to which a word is assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions. In English the main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, adjective, determiner, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.

One way to think about connectors is that they connect sentences, helping the reader follow the meaning of the sentence. Connectors are sometimes used to start a sentence, while at other times they can be placed in the middle position of a sentence.

a simple explanation.....there are a few mistakes. I hope you are able to notice them

Grammar is important because it provides information that helps the reader's comprehension. It is the structure that conveys precise meaning from the writer to the audience.

GRAMMAR MATTERS!

The importance of studying and grasping grammar cannot be understated. Today, we know more about grammar and about how different grammatical systems work than we have done in the past, and so there is more grammar to teach and learn than ever.....just do not try to grasp everything at once. You won't be able to....it takes time to make it a habit.

Quote:

"If I were a cobbler

It would be my pride

The best of all cobblers to be.

If I were a tinker

No tinker beside

Could mend an old kettle like me ."

Unquote: And hence the moral-------

The greatness of any individual lies not so much on the person's status, authority or wealth but what is more important is on the degree of perfection the person achieves in any task he undertakes.

We all should strive to become perfect in our work. However ,absolute perfection, being an integral part of the ever continuing process of improvement is, by itself, not achievable. The least we should strive to achieve is therefore what has been so aptly expressed by the two simpletons, the Cobbler and the Tinker in the quote above. That is to be able to do our work so well that no one else should be able to do it better.

Come friends, let us join hands to become the best in whatever task we undertake to do. I know we have the intrinsic Quality dormant in us to achieve the same. All that is needed is a will to blossom it to the front.

GRADABLE AND NON-GRADABLE ADJECTIVES

Gradable adjectives

Most adjectives are gradable. This means we can have different levels of that quality. For example, you can be a bit cold, very cold or extremely cold. We can make them weaker or stronger with modifiers:

She was quite angry when she found out.
The film we saw last night was really funny!
It can be extremely cold in Russia in the winter.

Here is a list of some common gradable adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

Modifiers

a little/a bit

pretty/quite

really/very

extremely

Adjectives

angry, big, boring, cheap, cold, expensive, frightening, funny, hot, interesting, old, pretty, small, tasty, tired, etc.

Non-gradable: absolute adjectives

Some adjectives are non-gradable. For example, something can't be a bit finished or very finished. You can't be a bit dead or very dead. These adjectives describe absolute qualities. To make them stronger we have to use modifiers like absolutely, totally or completely:

Thank you, I love it! It's absolutely perfect!
Their farm was totally destroyed by a tornado.
My work is completely finished. Now I can relax.

Here is a list of some common absolute adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

Modifiers

absolutely/totally/completely

Adjectives

acceptable, dead, destroyed, finished, free, impossible, necessary, perfect, ruined, unacceptable, etc.

Non-gradable: extreme adjectives

Adjectives like amazing, awful and boiling are also non-gradable. They already contain the idea of 'very' in their definitions. If we want to make extreme adjectives stronger, we have to use absolutely or really:

Did you see the final match? It was absolutely amazing!
After 32 hours of travelling, they were absolutely exhausted.
My trip home was really awful. First, traffic was really bad, then the car broke down and we had to walk home in the rain.

Here is a list of some common extreme adjectives and some modifiers that we can use with them.

Modifiers

absolutely/really

Adjectives

amazing, ancient, awful, boiling, delicious, enormous, excellent, exhausted, fascinating, freezing, gorgeous, terrible, terrifying, tiny, etc.

MODALS - PERMISSION AND OBLIGATION

Look at these examples to see how can, can't, must, mustn't, have to and don’t have to are used.

You can put your shoes and coat over there.
You can't leave your bike there.
I must call the electrician and get that light fixed.
You mustn't worry about me. I'll be fine.
You have to have a licence to drive a car.
You don't have to have a licence to cycle on the roads.

Permission

can

We often use can to ask for and give permission.

Can I sit here?

You can use my car if you like.

Can I make a suggestion?

could

We also use could to ask for permission (but not to give it). Could is more formal and polite than can.

Could I ask you something?

Could I interrupt?

Could I borrow your pen for a moment, please?

may

May is the most formal way to ask for and give permission.

May I see your passport, please?

Customers may request a refund within a period of 30 days.

These pages may be photocopied for classroom use.

Prohibition

We use can't and mustn't to show that something is prohibited – it is not allowed.

can't

We use can't to talk about something that is against the rules, particularly when we didn't make the rules.

What does this sign say? Oh, we can't park here.

You can't take photos in the museum. They're really strict about it.

Sorry, we can't sell knives to under-18s.

must not/mustn't

We use must not to talk about what is not permitted. It is common on public signs and notices informing people of rules and laws.

Visitors must not park in the staff car park.

Baggage must not be left unattended.

Guests must not make noise after 10 p.m.

We use mustn't particularly when the prohibition comes from the speaker.

(Parent to child) You mustn't say things like that to your sister.

(Teacher to student) You mustn't be late to class.

I mustn't let that happen again.

Obligation

We use have to and must to express obligation. There is a slight difference between the way we use them.

have to

Have to shows us that the obligation comes from outside the speaker.

We have to wear a uniform when we're working in reception.

(Student to teacher) When do we have to hand in our homework?

Ali has to work tomorrow so he can't come.

We sometimes call this 'external obligation'.

must

Must expresses a strong obligation or necessity. It often shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker (or the authority that wrote the sentence).

I must phone my dad. It's his birthday today.

(Teacher to student) You must hand in your homework on Tuesday or you will lose ten per cent of your mark.

(Sign on a plane) Seat belts must be worn by all passengers.

Note that we don't use must to express obligation in the past. We use have to instead.

I had to pay £85 to renew my passport last week.

No obligation

don't have to

We use don’t have to to show that there is no obligation. You can do something if you want to but it's not compulsory.

You don't have to wear a tie in our office but some people like to dress more formally.

You don't have to go to the bank to do a transfer. You can do it online.

You don't have to come with me, honestly. I'll be fine!

‘Could’ can be used:

To suggest a possibility
Examples:
“Whose journal is this? It could be Nelly’s journal.”
“Could ‘A’ be the answer? It’s definitely not ‘B’ or ‘D.’”
To make a polite request
Examples:
“Could you please move this box?”
“Could you please pass that paper?”
Using the word ‘could’ to respond to the requests we made in the last example would suggest that you could do it, but you might not really want to. If you agree to the request, then you use the word ‘can’.
Examples:
“Could you please move this box?” “I could, but I am really busy right now.”
“Could you please pass that paper.” “Sure, I can.”

‘Should’, ‘would’ and ‘could’ are auxiliary verbs that can sometimes get confusing. They are the past tense of ‘shall’, ‘will’ and ‘can’ but are also used in other situations.

‘Should’ can be used:

To express something that is probable
Examples:
“John should be here by 2:00 PM.”
“He should be bringing Jennifer with him.
To ask questions
Examples:
“Should we turn left at this street?”
“Shouldn’t you be getting ready for work?”
To show obligation, give recommendation or even an opinion
Examples:
“You should stop eating fast food.”
“You should go for walks more often.”
“We should go to the park tomorrow.”
“He should go to the pharmacy first thing in the morning.”

‘Would’ can be used:

To ask ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘when’, ‘why’ or ‘how’ (not always, but often)
Examples:
“How would you do that?”
“What would you do if…”
“When would we have time to do that?”
“Who would want to wait in that line?”
To make a polite request
Examples:
“Would you like any tea?”
“Would you like anything else?”
In hypothetical situations
Examples:
“If I had a lot of money I would like to own a farm one day.”
“I would love to buy a boat one day.”
To ask questions
Examples:
“Would you like fries or salad?”
“Would you like to join us tonight?”

What is the best way for teenagers to stay fit and healthy?

Teenagers are youngsters between 13 and 19 years of age. As teenage years are the period that most of our growing occurs, it is of vital importance that teenagers stay fit and healthy to facilitate the process.

In my opinion, the best way for juveniles to gain good health and fitness is through having a balanced diet, an active lifestyle and a good night’s sleep.

Eating a balanced diet is a vital part of maintaining good health as it provides the essential nutrients required for growth. Each of our meals should contain the 7 components of a balanced diet - carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fats, protein, fibre and water - for optimal health. Whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, poultry and fish contribute to a balanced diet. Organic foods are better by comparison with inorganic ones as the former are grown or farmed without the use of artificial chemicals, hormones and antibiotics which can be detrimental to our health. Since about 60 percent of our body is made up of water, consuming adequate water is also an important factor. Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water is the ideal amount for an adolescent’s body to function well.

The human body is built for movement. If we lead a sedentary lifestyle, health problems are prone to arise. Hence it is wise to exercise a few times a week for about half an hour each session. Even doing domestic chores, which brightens your parents up, is better than nothing at all. Cardiovascular exercise helps to strengthen our heart and lungs while stretching reduces the risk of injury by increasing flexibility. Strength training helps to strengthen our muscles. Other benefits of doing exercises include preventing obesity and osteoporosis, improving blood circulation and combating depression.

Sleep is crucial to our health because when we sleep, our body undergoes repair, growth and detoxification. For instance, sleep is involved in the healing and repair of our heart and blood vessels. As such, teenage boys and girls should get quality sleep of about 9 hours each night. Sleep improves brain performance and therefore teenagers with sufficient sleep tend to learn and memorise more effectively. Thus, they also tend to perform better academically. Apart from that, sleep also helps to prevent inflammation and obesity, spur creativity, reduce stress levels and boost our immune system, among many other advantages. Therefore, it is important to cultivate good sleep habits like going to bed at the same time every night and make sure that your bedroom is dark and quiet when you go to sleep.

Empathy vs Sympathy

Empathy is a term we use for the ability to understand other people’s feelings as if we were having them ourselves.

Empathy can also mean projecting our own feeling onto a work of art or another object.

Sympathy refers to the ability to take part in someone else’s feelings, mostly by feeling sorrowful about their misfortune.

Sympathy can also be used in relation to opinions and taste, like when you say that you have sympathy for a political cause.

SPEAK OR TALK?

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

speak tends to be used for one-sided communications (e.g. she spoke to her employees), whereas talk implies a conversation or discussion between two or more people (e.g. everyone was talking when he walked into the room). Speak is a little more formal than talk, and is often used in polite requests.

HEARING OR LISTENING?

WHICH ONE AM I DOING?

We use hear for sounds that come to our ears, without us necessarily trying to hear them! For example, 'They heard a strange noise in the middle of the night. ... Listen is used to describe paying attention to sounds that are going on.

An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
