Most of the time, it can be complicated. But learning these rules is essential as these rules govern the language. English grammar is not a group of rules; it is like the base of the building. In simple words, to speak English, your core should be strong.<\/p>\n<p>English grammar rules explain how words organized in a sentence. You have to put words in a particular order so that when you speak and write, people can understand your writing or talking. Just like a damaged wire can interrupt the telephonic conversation. Likewise, improper rules of grammar can affect the meaning and clarity of the intended messages.<\/p>\n<h2>English Grammar Rules<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some interesting English grammar rules that you should know.<\/p>\n<h3>\u25cf And or But<\/h3>\n<p>In modern English, it is perfectly acceptable to begin a sentence with \u201cand\u201d or \u201cbut.\u201d To maintain the fluid of writing, use transition words like \u2018And or But.\u2019 But some writers believe that it is ungrammatical to start a sentence with a conjunction.<\/p>\n<h3>\u25cf Use of Good<\/h3>\n<p>Use \u2018well\u2019 instead of \u2018good\u2019 when describing manners, actions, and performance. Since many reputable grammarians consider adverbial use of \u201cgood\u201d as nonstandard English.<\/p>\n<p>For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She is looking <strong>good<\/strong>. (wrong)<\/li>\n<li>She is looking well. (right)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf Either and Neither<\/h3>\n<p>When using either and neither, the verb has to be singular, even if the prepositional phrases contain plural objects. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Either of the girls wants cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf End with Prepositions<\/h3>\n<p>Try not to end any sentence with a preposition. However, if you finish the sentence with prepositions, the sentence is rarely convincing. But it is not an error in English Grammar Rules.<\/p>\n<h3>\u25cf -ly Ending<\/h3>\n<p>Using \u2013ly suffix with words, such as fast, seldom, etc., is of no use. Since they are already adverbs, so don\u2019t add \u2013ly suffix in modifiers.<\/p>\n<h3>\u25cf I and Me<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019 and \u2018Me\u2019 are not interchangeable. Both have different meanings. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She and me are together. (wrong)<\/li>\n<li>She and I are together. (right)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf Must and Have to<\/h3>\n<p>\u2018Must\u2019 is a modal verb, and \u2018Have to\u2019 is used to indicate that something is necessary for some reason. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I must go now.<\/li>\n<li>I have to go as my brother is waiting for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf Joining Independent Clause<\/h3>\n<p>To join two independent clauses, use a semicolon in front of the connector and a coma after it. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He was crying; therefore, he must be hurt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf Position of Relative Pronouns<\/h3>\n<p>The antecedent should follow the relative pronoun. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Those who want to work can stay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u25cf Subject Determines Number of Verbs<\/h3>\n<p>Since in all the sentences, the verb follows the subject. Therefore, if the subject is singular, the verb is also singular, and if it is plural, then the verb is also plural.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning English grammar rules is not always fun.
