Basic Grammar

Nouns

A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. For example:

  • People: teacher, friend
  • Places: school, park
  • Things: book, ball

Remember, nouns can be singular (one) or plural (more than one). For example, cat (singular) and cats (plural).

Verbs

A verb is a word that shows action or a state of being. It tells what someone or something does. For example:

  • Action verbs: run, jump, play
  • State verbs: is, are, seem

“The dog barks.” Here, barks is the verb showing the action of the dog.

Adjectives

An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It helps us understand more about a person, place, or thing. For example:

  • Describing size: big, small
  • Describing color: red, blue
  • Describing feelings: happy, sad

For instance, in the phrase "a red ball", red describes the color of the ball.
