Grammar is what you say. Grammar is how you put words together to fashion a thought. So grammar is simply the architecture of ideas as expressed in words.
Simply , a group of words which makes complete sense is called a sentence.
Sentences are of 4 types
1.Statements or assertions
Ex. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
2.Iterrogative- question asking sentences
Ex. Where do you live?
3.Imperative _ sentence that expresses a command
Ex. Be quiet
4. Exclamatory- sentence that expresses strong feelings3
Ex. What a shame!
So these are the different types of sentences we use in our daily life.
Now comes the second part of the lesson
Generally, when we make a sentence, we name some person or thing and say something about that person or thing.
Hence every sentence has two parts
1. The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about. This is called the subject of the sentence.
2.The part which tells something about the subject. This part is called Predicate of the sentence.
The subject of a sentence usually comes first, but occasionally it is put after the predicate as;
Here comes the bus.
In imperative sentence the subject is left out; as,
Sit down. ( here subject YOU is understood)
1. The boy stood on the burning deck.
2.Stone walls do not make a prison.
3.He has a good memory.
4.I shot an arrow into the air.
5.The earth revolves around the sun.
6.Delhi is capital of India.
7.The early bird catches the worm.
That's it from the first lesson. Hope you liked it.
