Fun with Adverbs

Fun with Adverbs

“Without adverbs, sentences in English wouldn’t have the same zest and flair that they do with this basic part of speech being used correctly. Adverbs can draw relations between places, people, times, causes, degrees, etc. While Adverbs are not the most popular form of basic speech, you cannot be well-versed in understanding English grammar without having a formal knowledge of what adverbs are, how they are used, and what kind of examples need them within the sentences you create. Please use this article on ‘adverbs’ to improve not only your understanding of the English language but also your ability to write, speak, and use it freely.”

How to Write a Good Essay

How to Write a Good Essay

“In order to become an excellent English writer, it's very important to have the structure in place if you want to write a good essay. Firstly, you are going to want to make sure that you start with a beginning paragraph known as the 'introduction.' With the introduction paragraph, you're going to set the tone in terms of telling the audience what the topic of your essay is along with some supporting sentences discussing the topic(s) that are going to be covered later in the body paragraph(s). Your introduction paragraph should be between 3 to 4 sentences total and you should also have a thesis sentence laying out the main purpose of your essay and what you hope to get across to the audience.”

Introducción a las partes básicas de la oración

Introducción a las partes básicas de la oración

"Hay ocho partes básicas de la oración: sustantivo, pronombre, verbo, adjetivo, adverbio, preposición, conjunción e interjección. Yo diría que el sustantivo es la parte de la oración más utilizada, mientras que la interjección es la menos utilizada. Los pronombres, los verbos, los adjetivos y los adverbios se utilizan mucho en inglés, mientras que las preposiciones y las conjunciones son menos comunes, pero es importante conocerlas".

Conjunctive Adverbs

Conjunctive Adverbs

“Conjunctive adverbs are words that are used to join two or more independent clauses into one sentence. A conjunctive adverb can help you to create a shorter sentence that still contains the necessary details to be complete. When you use a conjunctive adverb in a sentence, it’s necessary to follow the main rule otherwise it won’t work out.”

Possessive Nouns

Possessive Nouns

"Being able to discuss ownership in English over a person, place, or thing is quite key when it comes to developing your grammar proficiency. In order to do that, you must be able to understand, use, and master possessive nouns. The function of possessive nouns is to essentially demonstrate ownership or some similar relationship over something else."

Singular and Plural Nouns

Singular and Plural Nouns

"Nouns, as they are popular known in English, are a fundamental building block in English grammar. Nouns are a fundamental part of speech in English. They can be found in nearly every sentence, every phrase, and make a vast amount of words. If you’re familiar with basic English grammar, you’ll know that the basic definition of a noun is that it is a person, place, thing, or idea. When it comes to the topic of singular and plural nouns, we have two separate categories to break our nouns into. In order to understand nouns, we need to know about the difference between singular and plural nouns."
