be. There are several different types of verbs, as follows:

met at the supermarket yesterday morning.
c) Zero Article : Cat’s don’t like cold

CONJUNCTIONS In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that
connects words, sentences, phrases or clauses.
A discourse connective is a conjunction joining sentences. There
are several different types of conjunctions, as follows:
a) Co-ordinating Conjunction: Coordinating
conjunctions, also called coordinators,
are conjunctions that join, or coordinate, two or more items (such as words, main
clauses, or sentences) of equal syntactic importance.
Example : John and I are leaving early tomorrow morning.
b) Subordinating Conjunction: Subordinating
conjunctions, also calledsubordinator, are conjunctions that join an independent clause and
adependent clause.

in pairs to join words and groups of words of equal weight in a sentence.

Example : He applied for a job in
order that he could help his
parents.
PREPOSITIONS A preposition is a word such as after, in, to, on, and with. Prepositions
are usually used in front of nouns or pronouns and they show the relationship
between the noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They describe, for
example:
a) Simple Preposition: about, above,
across, after, etc.
b) Compound Preposition: despite, beyond,

GERUND A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other two
kinds of verbals, is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state
of being. However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some
positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would.
a) Gerund as subject : Running in the
morning is good for health.
b) Gerund as a complement: One of her
hobbies is collecting foreign stamps.
c) Gerund as an object: My father likes
hunting in the forest.

leaving will make them sad.

set needs repairing
i) Gerund to show prohibition: No
smoking!
CAUSATIVE The
causative is a common structure in English. It is used when one thing or person
causes another thing or person to do something.
a) Causative – Have: I have him repair
the window.
b) Causative – Get: I often get my little
brother to clean his room.
c) Causative – Make: The robber made the
teller give him all the money in the drawer.
ADJECTIVE
CLAUSE An adjective clause usually comes after the noun it modifies and
is made up of several words which, like all clauses, will include a subject and
a verb.
a) Subject pronoun: who – which – that
Example:
- The couple have two boys and two
daughters.
- They live next door.
The couple who live next door have two
boys and two daughters.
Or
The couple that live next door have
two boys and two daughters.
b) Object pronoun: who – which – that
Example:
- The man was my english teacher.
- You saw him at the station last night.
The man who/whom you saw at the
station last night was my english teacher.
Or
The man that you saw at the station
last night was my english teacher.
c) Using whose and where
Example:
- The man is my next door neighbor.
- His computer was stolen a few days
ago.
- The man whose computer was stolen a
few days ago is my next door neighbor.
a) Question word in noun clause:
