Introduction to Grammar
What Are Articles?
Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples:
After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good.
By using the article the, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good.
After a long day, a cup of tea tastes particularly good.
By using the article a, we’ve created a general statement, implying that any cup of tea would taste good after any long day.
Examples of Adverbs

Adverbs can mystify writers because they have a number of different functions within the English language. Reviewing examples of adverbs and adverb phrases can help you identify them and use this part of speech effectively. With a couple adverbs by your side, you can add further description, describe an action, or intensify the meaning of another word.
Spotting an Adverb
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They can add to or change the meaning of a word. A great way to spot adverbs is to look for words that end in -ly.
Let's take a look at a few examples:
Abruptly: I thought the movie ended abruptly.
Beautifully: The beautifully painted landscape is a wonderful addition to my living room decor.
Delicately: Grandma's crystal vase is a priceless antique that must be handled delicately.
Delightfully: Her outfit showcased her delightfully quirky personality.
Firmly: The teacher firmly disciplined the students for their misbehavior.
Lightly: She lightly dusted the brownies with a layer of powdered sugar before serving.
Truthfully: She truthfully answered the police officer's questions.
Quickly: Quickly finish the grocery shopping so we can get to the party in time.
Wearily: At the end of a long day, she wearily headed to bed.
Willfully: I sent my son to bed early for willfully refusing to eat his vegetables.
If you're a teacher, our activities with adverbs and lessons about adjectives vs. adverbs can help your students learn to spot adverbs effectively.

Figures of Speech (Stylistic Devices)
What are stylistic devices?
In literature and writing, a figure of speech (also called stylistic device or rhetorical device) is the use of any of a variety of techniques to give an auxiliary meaning, idea, or feeling.
Sometimes a word diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase has a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it. Examples are metaphor, simile, or personification.
Stylistic devices often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.

Idiomatic Expressions

What are idioms?
Definition
An idiom (also called idiomatic expression) is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning conventionally understood by native speakers. This meaning is different from the literal meaning of the idiom's individual elements. In other words, idioms don't mean exactly what the words say. They have, however, hidden meaning.
Examples
"Kick the bucket"
"Spill the beans"
The meaning of these expressions is different from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which they are made. Their meaning are however used figuratively. They mean respectively:
"to die "
"to tell people secret information"
