determiners modify nouns. They
resemble adjectives in that way.

us what is happening and when
(past, present, future). Verbs can
also express possibilities and
conditions.

speech rules are an important
area of grammar.

Punctuation is not part of oral
grammar, but it is essential to
master in written English.

to create more complex and more
precise sentences.
