Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!
It is important to understand that every word in a sentence has a job to do, a role in the sentence.
Pronouns are small words that take the place of a noun. Pronouns are words like: he, you, ours, and themselves. If we didn't have pronouns, we would have to repeat a lot of nouns.
Can be used as the subject of a verb. The subject of a sentence is the person, animal, place or thing that does the action shown by the verb. Ex: Ahmed goes to school. He is a student.
Can be used as the object of the sentence. The object of a sentence is the person, animal, place or thing that receives the action shown by the verb.
that
The possessive adjective modifies the noun following it in order to show possession.
An adjective is a word that tells us something about a noun (person, an animal, a thing or a place).
An adverb modifies (adds more to the meaning of) a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
(called = verb; last night=adverb) EX: Your dress is very beautiful. (beautiful = adjective; very = adverb)
EX: The rain stopped quite suddenly. (suddenly = adverb; quite = adverb)
Verbs are words that show action. Every sentence must have a verb. EX: The kidnapper asked for 200 000 $ to set the hostage free.
