Parts of
Speech
Every word in English belongs to
one of eight categories called
"parts of speech".
1. Nouns
Words that name people,
places, things, or ideas
Examples:
• Person: teacher, John
• Place: school, Paris
• Thing: book,
computer
• Idea: freedom,
happiness
2. Verbs
Words that show action or
state of being
Examples:
• Action: run, eat, write
• State: be, seem,
become
Subject
Who or what does the
action (usually a noun)
Verb
The action or state of
being
Remember:
Every complete sentence
needs at least a subject and
a verb.
Tenses Made
Simple
Tenses tell us when something
happens. There are three main
times: past, present, and future.
Present Simple
For habits, routines, and
facts
Structure:
Subject + verb (add -s
for he/she/it)
Examples:
• I eat breakfast every
day.
• She works in an
office.
• Water boils at 100°C.
Past Simple
For completed actions in the
past
Structure:
Subject + verb + -ed (or
irregular past form)
Examples:
• I walked to school
yesterday.
• She ate pizza last
night.
• They visited London
in 2020.
Future Simple
For actions that will happen
later
Structure:
Subject + will + base
verb
Examples:
• I will call you
tomorrow.
• She will finish her
work soon.
• They will travel next
month.
Tense Tip:
Add time words to make
tenses clearer: yesterday
(past), every day (present),
tomorrow (future).
Sentence
Structure
Build correct sentences with these
simple patterns:
1. Basic Sentence

• Birds fly.

2. Adding an Object
Subject + Verb + Object
Examples:

3. Adding Details
Subject + Verb + Object +
Where/When
Examples:
• I study English every
day.

the morning.

park.
Subject
Who/what does the action
Verb

Common
Mistakes to
Avoid
1. Subject-Verb
Agreement
He like He likes
coffee. coffee.
Add -s to verbs when the
subject is he, she, or it
2. Past Tense Errors
I go to I went to
school school
yesterday. yesterday.
Use past tense for
completed past actions
3. Double Negatives
I don't I don't have
have anything.
nothing.
Use only one negative word
in a sentence
4. Article Confusion
I have a I have an
apple. apple.
Use "a" before consonant
sounds, "an" before vowel
sounds
Correction Tip:
When you make a mistake,
write the correct version 3
times to help remember it.

Learning
Strategies
1. Start Simple
Master basic sentences
before complex ones
Begin with: "I eat." → "I
eat fruit." → "I eat fruit
every day."
2. Listen and Repeat
Copy sentences from
movies, songs, or podcasts
Repeat after: "I'm going
to the store."
3. Focus on Patterns
Notice how sentences are
built rather than memorizing
rules
Pattern: Subject + Verb
+ "ing" → "I am
studying."
Encouragement:
Everyone makes mistakes
when learning. The important
thing is to keep trying!
Grammar will become easier
with practice.
