📌 Subject-Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement means the verb must match the subject in number.

Examples:

  • She writes every day.
  • They write every day.

In the first sentence, the singular subject she takes the verb writes.
In the second sentence, the plural subject they takes the verb write.

💡 Many learners make mistakes here because they don’t fully understand how verbs change with English tenses.

📌 Articles: A, An, and The

Articles are used before nouns to show whether something is general or specific.

Examples:

  • A book
  • An apple
  • The teacher

“A” and “an” refer to something general, while “the” refers to something specific.

👉 To understand how nouns and articles work together, learn the parts of speech in English.

📌 Active and Passive Voice

In active voice, the subject performs the action.

Example:

  • The student wrote the essay.

In passive voice, the subject receives the action.

Example:

  • The essay was written by the student.

Active voice is usually clearer and more direct in everyday communication.

📌 Types of Sentences

English sentences can be divided into several types:

  • Declarative sentences – make a statement
