English Grammar & Practice

কিছু লোক আপনাকে অনেক সম্মান ও শ্রদ্ধা করে,
কিন্তু তার আসল উদ্দেশ্য আপনাকে ধ্বংস করা, অপমানিত করা, ক্ষতি করা ।

আর মিথ্যাবাদীদের সাথে কোনো বিবাদে লিপ্ত হয়ো না, কারণ, সে তোমাকে নিয়ে মানুষের কাছে, এমন মিথ্যা বলবে যা তুমি কল্পনাও করতে পারবে না।

Celebrating my 13th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

🌏 Noun
Nouns are a part of speech that comprise words that are used to name people, places, animals, objects and ideas. Almost every sentence will definitely have a noun, and they perform different roles in a sentence. Nouns can act as the subject, an indirect object, a direct object, a subject complement and an object complement. Nouns can also function as adjectives and verbs.

Examples of Nouns:
➡️People – Rahul, Sheela, Man, Person, Tommy, Women, Girl, The Prime Minister
➡️Places – Bangalore, India, Mexico, North Pole, South Africa, The Nile River, Classroom, Bedroom, Basketball Court, Cricket Ground, Swimming Pool
➡️Animals/Birds/Aquatic Animals/Reptiles – Lion, Zebra, Snake, Ostrich, Flamingo, Bear, Cat, Fish, Shark
➡️Ideas – Evolution, Invention, Extinction, Argument, Destruction
➡️Objects/Things – Bat, Cycle, Curtains, Paper, Bag, Blackboard, Cupboard

🌀 Preposition
A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a sentence. 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. A nice way to think about prepositions is as the words that help glue a sentence together. They do this by expressing position and movement, possession, time and how an action is completed. Indeed, several of the most frequently used words in all of English, such as of, to, for, with, on and at, are prepositions.

🌏 Auxiliary verbs are function words, a type of closed class that is constituted of words that have a grammatical function as opposed to content words, which are an open class of lexical words. An auxiliary verb is used to add functional or grammatical content to the information expressed by another verb, considered to be the main verb. Auxiliary verbs are also called helping verbs.

Examples:
• I am writing a book.
• He has done the work.
• We will be there in a minute.
• Would you help me with this homework?
• Can you open the door?
• Did you visit New York last holiday?
• Do you like chocolate?
• They must get there on time.

🌐 Verbs
The verb is king in English. The shortest sentence contains a verb. You can make a one-word sentence with a verb, for example: "Stop!" You cannot make a one-word sentence with any other type of word.

Verbs are sometimes described as "action words". This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example, words like run, fight, do and work all convey action.

But some verbs do not give the idea of action; they give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example, verbs like be, exist, seem and belong all convey state.

A verb always has a subject. (In the sentence "John speaks English", John is the subject and speaks is the verb.) In simple terms, therefore, we can say that verbs are words that tell us what a subject does or is; they describe:

1️⃣action (Ram plays football.)

2️⃣state (Anthony seems kind.)

There is something very special about verbs in English. Most other words (adjectives, adverbs, prepositions etc) do not change in form (although nouns can have singular and plural forms). But almost all verbs change in form. For example, the verb to work has five forms:

to work, work, works, worked, working

Of course, this is still very few forms compared to some languages which may have thirty or more forms for a single verb. In this lesson we look at the ways in which we classify verbs, followed by a quiz to test your understanding:
