PRONOUNS
Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences to avoid
repetition.
ADJECTIVES
An adjective is a word that describes or gives more information
about a noun or pronoun.
Types of adjectives include:
1. Descriptive Adjectives- These describe the qualities or
characteristics of a noun. For example, "blue," "big," "beautiful,"
"tall," or "happy."
2. Demonstrative Adjectives- These indicate which noun or
pronoun is being referred to. Examples include "this," "that,"
"these," and "those."
3. Quantitative Adjectives- These indicate the quantity or amount
of a noun. Examples are "many," "few," "some," "several," or "all."
4. Possessive Adjectives- These show ownership or possession.
Examples are "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their."
5. Interrogative Adjectives- These are used to ask questions about a
noun. Examples include "which," "what," and "whose."

ADVERBS
An adverb is a word that gives more information about a verb, an
adjective, or another adverb. It tells us how, when, where, or to
what extent something happens.
CONJUNCTION
A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses in
a sentence.
INTERJECTION
An interjection is a word or phrase used to express emotion,
feeling, or sudden reaction. It often stands alone and is punctuated
with an exclamation mark. Interjections are used to convey
emotions such as surprise, joy, anger, or excitement.
ACTIVE PASSIVE
An active sentence is when the subject of the sentence performs
the action. It's straightforward and easy to understand.
For example: "John (subject) ate (action) the pizza (object)."
A passive sentence is when the subject of the sentence receives the
action. It's a bit more indirect.
For example: "The pizza (subject) was eaten (action) by John
(agent)."
Direct Speech
In direct speech, we quote the exact words of the speaker inside
quotation marks.
For example:
- Direct: Sarah said, "I love ice cream."
Indirect Speech
In indirect speech, we convey what someone said without quoting
them directly. We usually use reporting verbs like "said" or "told."
For example:
- Indirect: Sarah said that she loved ice cream.
1. Statements
- Direct: He said, "I am tired."

PHRASAL VERBS
Phrasal verbs are combinations of a verb and one or more particles
(typically prepositions or adverbs) that together function as a single
unit with a meaning different from the original verb. These
particles can change the meaning of the verb, adding nuances such
as direction, intensity, or completion.
Phrasal verbs are common in English and are often used in both
informal and formal contexts. They can sometimes be challenging
for non-native speakers because their meanings may not be
obvious from the individual words.

The agreement between the subject and verb is important for the
sentence to make sense grammatically. When there is
disagreement between the subject and verb, it can lead to
confusion or ambiguity in the sentence.
