π English grammar can seem quite easy compared to some languages, but a small mistake can easily change the meaning of what you want to say.
π So here are some important rules that you should keep in mind when you speak and write English.
1οΈβ£ πΈAdjectives and πΉadverbs:
Make sure you use adjectives and adverbs correctly.
πΈAdjectives describe, identify and quantify people or things and usually go in front of a noun.
πΈThey donβt change if the noun is plural.
πΉAdverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs and usually come after the verb.
For example:
β Heβs a slow driver. (adjective)
β He drives slowly. (adverb)
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
2οΈβ£ Use the correct conjugation of the verb:
Remember to change the verb to agree with the subject. The main subjects you need to be careful with are he, she and it because they have a different form to the others.
For example:
β She has two cats.
β She have two cats.
Remember also that when you describe something using βThere is/areβ, the verb must agree with the first item you mention.
For example:
β There is a sofa, some chairs and a table. [Singular]
β There are some chairs, a table and a sofa. [Plural]
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
3οΈβ£ Connect your ideas with conjunctions:
If you want to connect two ideas or short phrases, you can do so by using a conjunction.
For example:
β Iβm studying English. English is important. ππ»
β Iβm studying English because English is important.
The most common conjunctions are:
and β [addition]
because β [to give the reason]
but β [to express contrast]
so β [to describe a consequence]
or β [to describe an alternative]
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
4οΈβ£ Never use a double negative:
In English there are often two ways to express a negative concept.
For example:
If you want to say βthe room is emptyβ, you can say:
β There is nothing in the room. OR There isnβt anything in the room.
The words βnothingβ and βanythingβ have the same meaning, but βnothingβ is used with an affirmative verb, and βanythingβ is used with a negative verb.
This rule applies to other words like:
γ°οΈ nobody β anybody
γ°οΈ none β any
This is also true of the word βneverβ when you talk about experience.
You can say:
β Heβs never been to the U.S. OR He hasnβt ever been to the U.S.
The meaning is the same but in the second sentence the use of βeverβ means you need to make the verb negative.

James: He's a yellow lab, golden retriever mix. He's very very sweet, very very fun to play with, really really nice.
Todd: Oh, that's great. Can he do any tricks?
James: No.
Todd: No.
James: We can do one trick where we point our finger at him and go Bang Bang Bang Bang and he falls over dead, but that is the only trick he can do and he only does that maybe half the time.
Todd: OK. Does he bark a lot?
James: Usually no. Usually he's pretty good.

βͺοΈ Mutt
My dog was a mutt that we picked up off the street years ago.
A 'mutt' is a dog that has parents that are two different types of dogs. It is a combination instead of a purebred dog. Notice the following:
β This dog is actually a mutt.
β We have a bunch of little mutt puppies.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
βͺοΈ Sweet

β Sometimes she is sweet, but sometimes she can be terrible.
β He is a sweet boy but not very interesting.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
βͺοΈ Do tricks
Can he do any tricks?
A 'trick' is an action that you teach your dog to do. This can be shaking hands or rolling over. Notice the following:
β He works in a circus teaching animals to do tricks.
β I spent a lot of time teaching my dog to do tricks.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
βͺοΈ Half the time
He does only one trick and he does it only maybe half the time.
If you do something 'half the time' you only do it fifty percent of the time, the other fifty percent of the time you don't do it. Notice the following:
β Half the time you come to work late.
β She spends half the time in the library.
βββββββββββββββββββββββ
βͺοΈ Falls over dead (or play dead)
We point a finger at him and go "bang, bang" and he plays dead.
When something 'falls over dead' it falls to one side because it is dead and can't stand up. When an animal 'plays dead' it acts like it is dead and doesn't move. Notice the following:
β Some animals play dead to escape predators.
β If you eat that you will fall over dead.
