Grammar rules for the word all


In this blog post, our resident grammar girl reviews the impossibly confusing rules for singular subjects that refer to plural groups; subject-verb agreements involving»each», «all», and «none»; and last (but not least!) «neither», «neither», and «nor» and how they relate to your verb choice.

1. One is the loneliest number, but it’s not always single

One of the grammatical concepts that confuse people most is the construction of sentences like this one. What makes it confusing? The singular subject that refers to part of a plural group. One is singular while grammatical concepts are plural. The verb in question is confuse – should it be confuse (plural) or confuses (singular)? In fact, there are multiple accepted explanations for what constitutes the correct usage. Generally, the plural is what sources use most. 

The New York Times After Deadline blog explored this theme in a post from 2009 called One of Those Things, in which the author demonstrates why the plural verb makes sense:

 In our example above, confuse is the verb that agrees with grammatical concepts, qualified by the pronoun that to form this relative clause. Grammatical concepts confuse people. The alternative – grammatical concepts confuses people – looks and sounds immediately incorrect. The difficulty arises because one grammatical concept confuses, so the singular form of the verb does not necessarily appear to be wrong when it is linked to the initial subject of one. When put together with the rest of the sentence, however, it makes more sense to use the plural, according to the New York Times Style Guide. Re-ordering the words more clearly reveals this logic:

Of the grammatical concepts that confuse people, one is the construction of sentences like this one.

2. Each of us wants to know the rule

Another related concept that poses challenges to subject-verb agreement involves the subjects «each», «all», and «none». 

Each

Which sentence is correct?

            Each of the kids wants a Popsicle.

            Each of the kids want a Popsicle.

The first sentence is correct. To make this more apparent, substitute each one and it becomes Each one of the kids wants a Popsicle because one kid wants. Each always refers to one out of a group.

In cases in which each is not the subject, there may be a plural subject before it and therefore a plural verb that follows, such as in:

            They each want their own dessert.

(The alternative would be They each wants their own dessert, which is clearly wrong).

None

None is a little more nuanced. Unlike each, which is always singular, none can be singular or plural depending on the context, according to the Oxford English Dictionary and others.

When none stands in as a shortened form of no one, as was its original purpose, it can be followed by a singular verb. For example: None of us is tall. (Not one of us is tall.)

When none means not any, the subsequent verb is plural:

None of the students are absent. (Not any of the students are absent from school.)

None of the jewels were stolen. (Not any of the jewels were stolen).

The distinction is subtle, and in these instances, it would also be correct to use the singular verb.

Grammarians have identified a rule of thumb to follow in order to determine when none calls for a singular or plural verb. When the implied noun to which none applies represents a singular thing, use the singular verb: None (of the snow) was melting. When the implied noun to which none refers represents a plural thing, use the plural verb: None (of the plates) were clean.

All

The indefinite pronoun all may also be singular or plural depending on the thing to which it refers. All of the pieces complete the puzzle. The pieces are plural, and all of them together complete the puzzle. At the same time, all of the cake was eaten. The cake is singular, and all of it was eaten.  

When referring to people, this should appear clearer: all of the people were dancing. Since the word people is always plural, all of the people accordingly is always plural. The same goes for a plural pronoun: all of us were dancing.

3. You say either, I say neither

In constructions that use the words either and neither (however you choose to pronounce them), the context determines whether to use a single or plural verb. Grammatically, either and neither are considered singular.

Either works

When there is a choice between two items, use the word either with a singular verb to follow: 

Either of the restaurants is a good choice. It might be easier to think of this as either one of the restaurants, where one is singular, and either one is a good choice. Consider the alternative: either of the restaurants are a good choice. Although restaurants is plural, this sentence as a whole should sound incorrect because either is, NOT either are.

Some other examples of the correct use of either include:

Does either of you know a good restaurant? (NOT: Do either of you know) 

Let’s get some ice cream, if either of you wants it. (NOT: If either of you want)

Neither is the same

With neither, the subsequent verb is also singular when identifying a choice of two items. Neither restaurant was very good. Again, consider that neither one of the restaurants was very good.

The alternative should also sound incorrect: neither restaurant were very good.  

Some more examples include:

Neither of us wants to play tennis today. (NOT: Neither of us want)

Neither of these shops has the jacket in my size. (NOT: Neither of these shops have)

Either/Or

The singular rule holds true in either/or scenarios when both items being compared are singular: 

Either the blue shirt or the green shirt was my favorite.

My favorite was either the blue shirt or the green shirt.

Either my sister or my brother is going to make breakfast.

My sister is going to make breakfast, or my brother is going to make breakfast.

Either/or applies to positive comparisons, whereas neither/nor applies to negative comparisons.

Neither/Nor

Like the positive counterparts, neither/nor scenarios also contain singular verbs when comparing two singular items:

Neither the bracelet nor the necklace was silver.

Neither my brother nor my sister knows how to cook.

According to some, a rule of proximity suggests that a plural noun may follow in phrases with either and neither if the noun closest to the verb is plural. For example: 

Either the coach or the players receive the trophy.

(The coach receives the trophy, but the players receive the trophy. Because the plural noun players is the closest to the verb, the verb agrees accordingly with the plural noun.) 

Neither my brother nor my sisters have pets.

(My brother has no pets but my sisters have no pets. Since my sisters is within closer proximity to the verb, the verb agrees with the plural subject my sisters).

A comprehensive list of examples that demonstrate the correct use of either and neither can be found here.

All as a determiner

All means ‘every one’, ‘the complete number or amount’ or ‘the whole’. We use it most often as a determiner. We can use a countable noun or an uncountable noun after it:

All my friends are away at university.

All tickets cost 25 pounds.

All information about the new product is confidential.

As a determiner, all comes before articles, possessives, demonstratives and numbers.

article

possessive

demonstrative

number

All

the

trees had died.

All

my

family were at the party.

All

this

food must be eaten today.

All

25

students took the test.

All with no article

When all refers to a whole class of people or things, we don’t use the:

All children love stories. (i.e. every child in the world)

Not: All the children love stories.

We don’t use the with time expressions such as all day, all night, week, all year, all summer:

I spent all day looking for my car keys.

The party went on all night and some of the neighbours complained.

All of

We use all of before personal pronouns (us, them), demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) and relative pronouns (whom, which). The personal pronoun is in the object form:

I need to speak to all of you for a few minutes.

He brought gifts for all of us.

We had to contact the insurance firm and the airline, all of which took a lot of time. (all of which = ‘contacting the insurance firm and the airline’)

With demonstratives (this, that, these, those) we can say all of or all without of:

[talking about a pile of kitchen waste]

All (of) this has to go out into the rubbish bin.

We often use of after all in definite noun phrases (i.e. before the, possessives and demonstratives), but it is not obligatory:

All (of) the workers were given a pay-rise at the end of the year.

I gave all (of) my old books to my sister when she went to university.

What shall we do with all (of) this cardboard? Throw it out?

All without of

We use all, not all of, before indefinite plural nouns referring to a whole class of people or things:

All cats love milk.

Not: All of cats love milk.

This book was written for all children, everywhere.

We use all, not all of, before uncountable nouns:

All junk food is bad for you.

Not: All of junk food is bad for you.

I love all music, not just classical.

Warning:

We don’t normally say all people; we say everybody or everyone:

Everyone wants to achieve their personal goals in life.

Not: All people want to achieve

All with personal pronouns

When all refers to a personal pronoun which is the object in a clause, we can use pronoun + all or all of + pronoun. The pronoun is in the object form:

I used to have three pens but I’ve lost them all. (or … but I’ve lost all of them).

Not: … but I lost all them.

However, in short responses, all of must be used:

A:

How many of these boxes are you going to need?

Not: Them all.

We use all of with the object form of the pronoun, even when the pronoun is the subject in the clause:

All of us are hoping for good news.

A long line of people waited to speak to the officer. All of them had a story to tell.

All as a pronoun

We can use all alone as a pronoun in formal situations:

All were happy with the outcome. (less formal: Everyone was happy with the outcome.)

All will be revealed to the public in 25 years’ time, when the cabinet papers are released. (less formal: Everything will be revealed to the public …)

Usually, all as a pronoun is premodified or postmodified:

More than 100 people came to the refugee centre. Almost all had lost family members or property or both.

All that we had been told turned out to be untrue.

All as an adverb

When all refers to the subject of a clause, it usually comes in the normal mid position for adverbs (between the subject and the main verb, or after the modal verb or first auxiliary verb, or after be as a main verb):

The kids all go to school on the same bus.

These items could all have been bought cheaper on the Internet.

The students are all here now. We can start.

All meaning ‘completely’ or ‘extremely’

We can also use all as an adverb meaning ‘completely’ or ‘extremely’, especially in informal styles:

He lived all alone in an old cottage in the woods.

He came back all covered in mud.

I lost a good friend, and all because of my stupidity.

Maggie got all upset when she found out the house had been sold. (informal)

All: not all

We can make all negative by using not in front of it:

Not all the buses go to the main bus station, so be careful which one you get.

We weren’t all happy with the result.

All: after all

We use after all in two main ways. We use it to mean ‘in spite of what happened before’. With this meaning it usually occurs in end position:

[spoken by someone who was previously not hungry]

I think I might have something to eat now after all.

She thought she would fail her driving test but she passed after all.

After all can also mean ‘it should be remembered that’:

Why don’t you invite Nadia? After all, you do work with her every day.

Warning:

After all does not mean ‘finally’ or ‘at last’:

We spoke about it and finally decided to sign the contract.

Not: … and after all decided to sign the contract.

Commonly Confused Words! Choosing the right word is important, but some words are easy to confuse.

Commonly Misused Words in English.

All vs. Every vs. Each

ll, every, and each are all words used to indicate a group or collection of things, but they are used in different ways.

  • “All” refers to the entire group or collection without exception. For example, “All of the students passed the test” means that every single student passed.
  • “Every” is used to indicate that each member of the group or collection is being considered individually. For example, “Every student passed the test” means that each student passed individually.
  • “Each” is similar to “every” in that it also refers to each member of the group or collection individually, but it is often used in situations where the members are being considered one at a time. For example, “Each student passed the test” means that as each student was considered individually, they passed.

Confused words: All vs. Every vs. Each

Fewer vs. Less

“Fewer” and “less” are both used to describe a smaller amount of something, but they are used in different situations.

  • “Fewer” is used to refer to items that can be counted individually, such as books, people, or cars. For example, “I have fewer books than I used to” means that the speaker has a smaller number of books than they did before.
  • “Less” is used to refer to quantities that cannot be counted individually, such as time, money, or water. For example, “I have less time to finish this project” means that the speaker has a smaller amount of time to complete the project than they would like.

Fewer vs. Less

Must vs. Have to

“Must” and “have to” are both used to indicate that something is necessary or required, but they are used in slightly different ways.

  • “Must” is used to express a strong obligation or duty, and often reflects the speaker’s own personal beliefs or feelings. For example, “I must finish this project by tomorrow” means that the speaker feels that it is very important to complete the project by the specified time.
  • “Have to” is used to express a more general obligation or requirement, and often reflects external factors such as rules or laws. For example, “I have to finish this project by tomorrow” means that there is an external requirement or expectation that the project must be completed by the specified time.

Learn the differences between Modal Verbs: Must vs. Have to

Must vs. Have to

Should vs. Must

“Should” and “must” are both used to indicate that something is advisable or necessary, but they are used in slightly different ways.

  • “Should” is used to express a suggestion or recommendation, and often reflects the speaker’s own opinion or advice. For example, “You should take an umbrella, it’s going to rain” means that the speaker believes it’s a good idea for the person to take an umbrella.
  • “Must” is used to express a strong obligation or duty, and often reflects the speaker’s own personal beliefs or feelings or a rule or a law. For example, “You must wear a mask inside the store” means that it is a requirement or a rule to wear a mask inside the store, not just a suggestion.

Should vs. Must

Its vs It’s

“Its” and “it’s” are two words that are often confused because they look very similar, but they have different meanings and uses.

  • “Its” is the possessive form of the pronoun “it”, indicating that something belongs to or is associated with “it”. For example, “The cat licked its paw” means that the paw belongs to the cat.
  • “It’s” is a contraction of the words “it” and “is”. For example, “It’s raining outside” means “It is raining outside”

Its vs It's

Like vs. As

“Like” and “as” are both used to make comparisons, but they are used in slightly different ways.

  • “Like” is used to indicate similarity between things or people. For example, “She sings like an angel” means that the way she sings is similar to the way an angel sings.
  • “As” is used to indicate a specific role or function. For example, “He works as a doctor” means that he is a doctor and that is his specific role or function.

Like vs. As

May vs. Can

“May” and “can” are both used to indicate possibility or permission, but they are used in slightly different ways.

  • “May” is used to ask for or give permission, often in formal or polite situations. For example, “May I speak with you for a moment?” means that the speaker is asking for permission to talk to the person. “You may leave now” means that the speaker is giving permission to the person to leave.
  • “Can” is used to indicate ability or possibility. For example, “I can speak Spanish” means that the speaker has the ability to speak Spanish, or “I can come to the meeting” means that the speaker is indicating that it’s possible for them to come to the meeting.

May vs. Can

Both vs. Either vs. Neither

“Both”, “either”, and “neither” are all used to indicate choice or alternatives, but they are used in different ways.

  • “Both” refers to two things or people together. For example, “Both of the options are good” means that both of the options are good.
  • “Either” refers to one or the other of two things or people. For example, “You can have either the red or the blue shirt” means you can have one of the two options.
  • “Neither” refers to not one or the other of two things or people. For example, “Neither of the options is good” means that both options are not good.

Why Learn English Grammar?

The number of native and second-language speakers of English makes it the most widely used language in the world to date and that has peaked the importance of learning it. Learning grammar is often one of the first steps to learning the language itself so, it’s no surprise that the learners of English cannot but spend time getting used to its grammar. 

The five basic components of grammar in the English language are listed below —

  1. Phonology
  2. Morphology
  3. Syntax
  4. Semantics
  5. Pragmatics

Grammatical rules in English explain how letters form words, words become phrases or sentences, in what order they must come in a sentence and why. English grammar teaches the ropes to its learners by explaining and exemplifying each topic relevant to using the English language correctly.

The chief importance of learning it —

Know the Distinct Features of Language

By learning English grammar, students of the language get to know what features of the language set it apart from the rest. English as Second Language (ESL) learners often learn the grammatical rules in English by comparing them with the grammar of their native language. For example, it will be news to native Spanish and Arabic speakers learning English grammar that every English word is not gendered unlike that of Spanish and Arabic.

Learn the Correct Spellings and Pronunciations

Defining, theorizing and teaching the correct spellings and pronunciations of each word are among the biggest responsibilities of grammar. Phonology and phonetics deal with what spelling should sound like. For instance, grammar determines that “Saline” will always end with an “e” and the pronunciation will be IPA: /ˈseɪ.laɪn/ in the United Kingdom English and IPA: /ˈseɪliːn/ in the United States one.

The Formation, Meaning Making and Usage of Words

Morphology takes care of the word formations, meaning-making as well as usage in sentences to accurately express what people feel. As an example, grammar will explain the rules to add prefixes and suffixes to existing words including a demonstration as to how the meanings change with such additions.

Structure and Meaning of Sentences

Syntax and semantics are the sectors of grammar that deal with the formation of sentences as well as how and what they mean when particular words are used in succession. To specify, English grammar teaches how Subject + Verb + Object is the basic rule to construct any sentence in the language. 

History of English Grammar

If English is your target language, English grammar can explain what initially fails to make sense while coming across uncommon sentences or new words. One may be interested to know about the history behind its coming into being.

We must start right from the history of grammar itself. Though Sanskrit grammar had been orchestrated around the fifth century BC in India, the modern English grammar has found its roots in the Greek grammar developed around the first century BC and the subsequent Latin one based on the Greek only about two thousand years later.

Who Makes the Grammar Rules?

Grammarians and linguists make grammatical rules so that people can learn and use languages easily. Grammarians are the scholars who study, teach, write and research systax and grammatical rules for their sheer love and passion for it. They are often native speakers of the language they deal with.

Linguists, on the other hand, are language nerds who love dissecting languages and finding similarities and dissimilarities between different languages around the world. These language and grammar nerds list out the existing rules within a language (as well as their exceptions) and those become the grammatical rules.

Languages have a tendency to evolve and change with time depending on who use them and where. English grammar has been rather rigid in the sense that grammarians and linguists have laid down rules depending on what was believed to be the correct use of the language at the time. With time nevertheless, English has become the language of the entire world and so the grammatical rules started evolving with the cultures and linguistic differences of its new speakers depending on their geopolitical locations.

Complete Handbook of English Grammar

Learning a language is like learning the most important aspect of a nation. English is a language which has crossed its national boundary for a long time now. English is spoken in almost all the countries of the world as an international language. As a result, this language has many varieties now. However, among these varieties, the standard form of English still is and will be regarded as the most prestigious and accepted form of English. Apparently, learning the standard form of English with the understanding of how it works incorporates paramount importance. This project is an attempt to provide the learners with the basic grammatical structures in an easily comprehensible style.    

This website will give you a complete understanding of the structures and the ways of developing sentences in English. You will find a complete list of the topics and sub-topics on the first page of the website and you will be able to access them easily. The topics are discussed thoroughly with lots of examples and explanations. You will also find the exception of the common structures noted and explained with each topic. This website will provide you with a complete grammar book and on top of that, you will find the topics interlinked so that you can access them easily.    

It is generally presumed that grammar only helps the ESL (English as a Second Language) learners to write correct English and native speakers do not need grammar to write without mistakes. However, a native speaker of English will find this website useful if s/he wants to understand how his/her mother tongue works. This website will also help the native speakers of English use their language consciously and correctly.      

We have tried our best to produce an innovative but comprehensible approach to learn English grammar. However, we know that there is a lot of scope for improvements. We will deeply appreciate your suggestions and comments and try to improve the contents.

Learning a language is like learning the most important aspect of a nation. There are many, many reasons why learning a new language is a good idea. It allows you to communicate with new people. It helps you to see things from a different perspective, or get a deeper understanding of another culture. It helps you to become a better listener and so on. So, for all these purpose you have to learn English.

What are tenses?

Tenses is the most essential part of English Grammar.

However, tenses are used to classify time reference with reference to the moment of speaking. Tenses are used to classify the time of your speech, that is, present, future and past. Thus, there are many tense less sentences which are used in different languages like Chinese.

Moreover, tenses are used to express time related to moment of speaking.

Uses of Tenses

However, Tense is understood as a category that expresses time reference, using grammatical means places a state or action in time.

Moreover, Tense is normally indicated by the use of a particular verb form either an inflected form of the main verb, or a multi-word construction, or both in combination.

Thus, Tenses are used in sentences to indicate a particular time whether it is past, present or future.

Types of Tenses

However, There are three main types of tenses. They are: Present tense, past tense, future tense.

1. Present Tense

In Present tense, we generally make sentences which refers to present situation.

For examples:

  • Ram is eating his dinner.
  • Priya is dancing.
  • Rahul is playing.

2. Past tense

In past tense, we generally make sentences which refers to past situation or the things which already took place.

For example:

  • He ate his icecream.
  • Sheena went home.
  • Garv had fish yesterday.

3. Future Tense

In future tense, we generally make sentences which refers to future situation or the things which will take place in future.

For example:

  • Riya will come tomorrow.
  • I will eat pizza tomorrow.
  • We will go to grandmother’s home next week.

Some examples of tenses are:

  • She is watching television.
  • He is watching a football match.
  • She will go Goa tomorrow.
  • He had been playing football.
  • She has won five matches so far.
  • I got a call yesterday.
  • I am suffering from fever.
  • She had a fight yesterday.
  • We are playing cricket.
  • He will give you his book next week.

Tenses are very essential in English Grammar as one can make sentences with the help of them easily.

The word “Tense” is origin from the Latin word which means “Time”. Tense is a form of verb which is used to indicate the time of an action or state in relation to the time of speaking.

For Example: 

  • I go to college.
  • I went to college.
  • I will go to college.

Example of Tenses

  • Present Tense
  • Past Tense
  • Future Tense

1. Present Tense: Present Tense refers to an activity which is currently happening or going on or necessarily to be performed.

For Example: 

  • I go to school.
  • The sun rises in the East.
  • I jump in the lake every Saturday.

2. Past Tense: Past Tense refers to an activity which has been performed earlier or happened earlier or in past.

For Example:

Verb, Types, Exercises, Verb List

Definition: Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Verbs are doing words. A verb can express a physical action, a mental action, or a state of being.

In other words, verbs are action words that describes the action o the state of the subject.

Different Types of Verbs

  • Non-finite verbs
  • Finite verbs
  • Action verbs
  • Linking verbs
  • Auxiliary verbs
  • Modal verbs

1. Finite verbs:- They are the actual verbs which are called the roots of sentences A finite verb is a verb which has a subject and shows tense. In short, it is a verb being a verb (i.e., a doing word) as opposed to a verbal (which is another part of speech formed from a verb).

Example:-

  • He is excited to see the amusement park.
  • The water level is rising day by day and it is alarming.
  • He painted all the walls.

2. Non-finite verbs:- They are not the actual verbs. A non-finite verb (also known as a verbal) is the term used to describe a verb that is not showing tense.

In other words, it a verb form that does not act like a verb (or, at least, the type of verb you need to form a sentence). Therefore, a non-finite verb is never the main verb in a sentence.

Example:-

  • We are ready to play.
  • Sleeping in the afternoon is not healthy.
  • We ate a lot of roasted meat.
  • I respect the working disabled people.

3. Action verbs:- An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. The action verb tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally.

Examples:-

  • He hit a home run at the last game.
  • They bought a new house.
  • I just want to sit down and relax.
  • He is throwing the football.

Action Verb can be of two types

  • Transitive verbs.
  • Intransitive verbs.

1. Transitive verbs:- A transitive verb is a verb that can take a direct object. In other words, the action of a transitive verb is done to someone or something. Most verbs are transitive. A transitive verb contrasts with an intransitive verb, which is a verb that does not take a direct object.

Example:-

  • He painted the car. (The verb ‘paint’ demands an object to be painted)
  • He is reading the newspaper. (The verb ‘read’ asks the question “what is she reading?” – the answer is the object)

2. Intransitive verbs:- An intransitive verb is simply defined as a verb
that does not take a direct object. That means there’s no word in the
sentence that tells who or what received the action of the verb. Intransitive verbs are complete without a direct object.

Example:-

  • He smiled. (The verb ‘smile’ cannot have any object since the action of ‘smiling’ does not fall upon anything/anyone)
  • He wake up at 4 AM. (No object is needed for this verb)

4. Linking verbs:- Action verbs are verbs that specifically describe what the subject of the sentence is doing. These types of verbs carry a great deal of information in a sentence and serve to make the sentence complete.

Example:-

  • Banana tastes delicious.
  • She appears upset about the announcement.
  • He became suspicious.
  • Building the house proves difficult for them

5. Auxiliary verbs:- Auxiliary verbs are also called helping verbs. An auxiliary verb extends the main verb by helping to show time, tense, and possibility. A verb used in forming the tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. The primary auxiliary verbs in English are be, do, and have ; the modal auxiliaries are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would.

Examples:-

  • She is writing a message to her mother.
  • Didn’t I waste a lot of planned trips?
  • She had planned it another way.
  • Does he play volleyball?

6. Modal verbs:- A modal verb is a kind of an auxiliary verb. It assists the main verb to indicate possibility, potentiality, ability, permission, expectation, and obligation.

The modal verbs are can, could, must, may, might, ought to, shall, should, will, would.

Example:-

  • I can speak English.
  • You must not smoke in the hospital.
  • It may rain tomorrow.
  • He will go there. 

Linking Verbs. Definition, Examples And Exercise

Definition: Unlike action verbs, linking verbs show a
relationship between the subject of the sentence and a noun or
adjective being linked to it.

I am putty in his hand.

Dream come true when we believe in them.

  • The most common linking verbs are forms of the verb to be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been.
  • Other common linking verbs include: appear, become, feel, grow, look, remain, seem, smell, sound, stay, taste, and turn.

Your plans for the wedding sound nice.

You look exhausted after studying all night.

To check if these are being used as linking verbs, try replacing them with the correct form of to be. If they make sense and have almost the same meaning, they are linking verbs.

  • Anthony has been a dream the last few weeks.
  • Building the house proves difficult for them.

Find out linking verbs from the examples for exercise:

  1. William is excited about his promotion.
  2. She appears upset about the announcement.

Active and Passive Voice, Definition, Examples, Exercise

There are
two kinds of voices

  1. Active Voice
  2. Passive Voice

Active Voice

When subject itself is achieve in sentences then it is called
Active Voice or is in Active Form.

Passive Voice

When object is active in a sentence or object works like
subjct than the sentence is in Passive Voice.

Only those verbs be converted into passive which have objects
or verbs have effect on subject. Those verbs are called transitive verbs.

Rules for
Converting Voices:

  • Objects are put at the place of subjects and subjects are put in the place of objects.

  • VIII form of verb is used with helping verbs.
  • Only transitive verbs can be changed into passive.
Subject Object
I Me
We Us
You You
They Them
She Her
He His
It It
  • The forms of Be- is, are am, was, were, be, being,
    been.

(Be, being, been) are used first after helping verbs.

  • ‘by’ or any other preposition is used for passive.

Definition: If you are active, you are doing something. In a sentence
written in active voice, the subject of the sentence is doing the verb.

Harry ate six shrimp at dinner.

We are going to watch a movie tonight.

Definition: If you are passive, something is done to you. In a
sentence written in passive voice, the subject of the sentence is having
the action of the verb done to it by something else.

At dinner, six shrimp were eaten by harry.

A movie going to be watched by us tonight.

  • When you write sentences with active voice, you can use more interesting verbs and your writing seems to move more quickly.

I ran the obstacle course in record time.

  • When you write sentences with passive voice, you end up using
    more helping verbs, but it can be effective if you want to slow down the
    action of your writing and focus on a scene. The obstacle course was run by me in record time.

Preposition

A preposition is a word. Its show direction and time and location or
introduce an object. Preposition is followed by many objects as like
noun, pronoun. A preposition may appear at the end of a clause or
sentence. but only when its object comes earlier.

A preposition is a word which is to link the nouns, pronouns or
phrases to other words within a sentence. Here link means to provide
relationship between noun and other words in any sentence that makes the
sentence complete (these other words may be noun, verb or adjective).

They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a
sentence Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally
placed directly in front of nouns. In some cases, you’ll find
prepositions in front of gerund verbs. Example:-

The dog is sitting near the car.

Here, near(preposition) is used to link the car
which is a noun and sitting placement of the dog. If we do not use the
near and write the same it is like:- The dog is sitting the car.
We are not able to get what is the relationship between the sitting of
the dog and the car. By using, near we are confirmed that the dog is sitting near the car. Hence, near is a preposition here.

Some more examples of preposition:-

  • There is some milk in the fridge.

Sentence | Definition | Meaning | Examples

A sentence is a group of words that are put together to mean something. A sentence is the basic unit of language which expresses a complete thought.

In simple words, a sentence is a set of words that contain a subject and a predicate.

  • A subject ( what the sentence is about, the topic of the sentence).
  • A predicate ( what is said about the subject).

There are three important characteristics of a sentence:-

    It expresses a complete thought or idea. 

Example:- green tree is the (it is a group of words but it is not a sentence because it is meaningless)

The Tree is green (it is a sentence because it is meaningful)

2. It must have a subject and a verb. Sometimes, subject is not given but it is understandable.

Example:- Put the pen there (in this subject is not given but you is implied subject here)

3. It is the most important characteristic of sentence. The meaning of any sentence is different based on different expression. This expression may be of a statement, a question, a command or any exclamation.

When it comes to English speaking skills, you should not pay too much attention to grammar rules at first. However, this does not mean that we should ignore English grammar completely.

Needless to say, basic English grammar rules play an important role in learning English, both written and spoken. Without grammar rules, you can sometimes make yourself understood with short and simple expressions. However, you may fail most of the time with more complicated expressions that require the correct orders or structures of words.

As a beginner, you must know basic English grammar rules, as they show you how to arrange vocabulary and make meaningful expressions.

Below is a series of 40 basic English grammar lessons covering most of the English grammar tenses and most-used structures. All the lessons are designed with clear definitions, explanations and forms, followed by lots of examples.

Don’t try to learn by heart all the forms without doing any meaningful training. What you really need to do is take advantage of all the English grammar practice through sample sentences – in other words, you must understand how to use each rule and apply it to your daily speech.

Normally, sentences in the English language take a simple form. However, there are times it would be a little complex. In these cases, the basic rules for how words appear in a sentence can help you.

Word order typically refers to the way the words in a sentence are arranged. In the English language, the order of words is important if you wish to accurately and effectively communicate your thoughts and ideas.

Although there are some exceptions to these rules, this article aims to outline some basic sentence structures that can be used as templates. Also, the article provides the rules for the ordering of adverbs and adjectives in English sentences.

Basic Sentence Structure and word order rules in English

For English sentences, the simple rule of thumb is that the subject should always come before the verb followed by the object. This rule is usually referred to as the SVO word order, and then most sentences must conform to this. However, it is essential to know that this rule only applies to sentences that have a subject, verb, and object.

For example

Subject + Verb + Object

He loves food

She killed the rat

Sentences are usually made of at least one clause. A clause is a string of words with a subject(noun) and a predicate (verb). A sentence with just one clause is referred to as a simple sentence, while those with more than one clause are referred to as compound sentences, complex sentences, or compound-complex sentences.

The following is an explanation and example of the most commonly used clause patterns in the English language.

check markInversion

The English word order is inverted in questions. The subject changes its place in a question. Also, English questions usually begin with a verb or a helping verb if the verb is complex.

For example

Verb + Subject + object

Can you finish the assignment?

Did you go to work?

SVOMPT word order

check markIntransitive Verbs

Some sentences use verbs that require no object or nothing else to follow them. These verbs are generally referred to as intransitive verbs. With intransitive verbs, you can form the most basic sentences since all that is required is a subject (made of one noun) and a predicate (made of one verb).

For example

Subject + verb

John eats

Christine fights

check markLinking Verbs

Linking verbs are verbs that connect a subject to the quality of the subject. Sentences that use linking verbs usually contain a subject, the linking verb and a subject complement or predicate adjective in this order.

For example

Subject + verb + Subject complement/Predicate adjective

The dress was beautiful

Her voice was amazing

check markTransitive Verbs

Transitive verbs are verbs that tell what the subject did to something else. Sentences that use transitive verbs usually contain a subject, the transitive verb, and a direct object, usually in this order.

For example

Subject + Verb + Direct object

The father slapped his son

The teacher questioned his students

check markIndirect Objects

Sentences with transitive verbs can have a mixture of direct and indirect objects. Indirect objects are usually the receiver of the action or the audience of the direct object.

For example

Subject + Verb + IndirectObject + DirectObject

He gave the man a good job.

The singer gave the crowd a spectacular concert.

The order of direct and indirect objects can also be reversed. However, for the reversal of the order, there needs to be the inclusion of the preposition “to” before the indirect object. The addition of the preposition transforms the indirect object into what is called a prepositional phrase.

For example

Subject + Verb + DirectObject + Preposition + IndirectObject

He gave a lot of money to the man

The singer gave a spectacular concert to the crowd.

check markAdverbials

Adverbs are phrases or words that modify or qualify a verb, adjective, or other adverbs. They typically provide information on the when, where, how, and why of an action. Adverbs are usually very difficult to place as they can be in different positions in a sentence. Changing the placement of an adverb in a sentence can change the meaning or emphasis of that sentence.

Therefore, adverbials should be placed as close as possible to the things they modify, generally before the verbs.

For example

He hastily went to work.

He hurriedly ate his food.

However, if the verb is transitive, then the adverb should come after the transitive verb.

For example

John sat uncomfortably in the examination exam.

She spoke quietly in the class

The adverb of place is usually placed before the adverb of time

For example

John goes to work every morning

They arrived at school very late

The adverb of time can also be placed at the beginning of a sentence

For example

On Sunday he is traveling home

Every evening James jogs around the block

When there is more than one verb in the sentence, the adverb should be placed after the first verb.

For example

Peter will never forget his first dog

She has always loved eating rice.

check markAdjectives

Adjectives commonly refer to words that are used to describe someone or something. Adjectives can appear almost anywhere in the sentence.

Adjectives can sometimes appear after the verb to be

For example

He is fat

She is big

Adjectives can also appear before a noun.

For example

A big house

A fat boy

However, some sentences can contain more than one adjective to describe something or someone. These adjectives have an order in which they can appear before a now. The order is

Opinion – size – physical quality – shape – condition – age – color – pattern – origin – material – type – purpose

If more than one adjective is expected to come before a noun in a sentence, then it should follow this order. This order feels intuitive for native English speakers. However, it can be a little difficult to unpack for non-native English speakers.

For example

The ugly old woman is back

The dirty red car parked outside your house

When more than one adjective comes after a verb, it is usually connected by and

For example

The room is dark and cold

Having said that, Susan is tall and big
