Al Salamu 3alikm w rahmat Allah
No body can deny that there is a great effort is being done here in the forum to make all butterflies learn english & master it
anyway, i thought that i should participate in this & try to teach u most of the things that i know , but i'm not sure that i'm a good teacher
anyway, i'll do my best & God help me
First i'm gonna start with the grammar because it's the most important thing in english
Without knowing grammar well u won't be able to form a sentence well
In the Name of God we start
The first lesson i'm gonna start with it is Verbs
What are Verbs?
The verb is king in English. The shortest sentence contains a verb. You can make a one-word sentence with a verb, for example: "Stop!" You cannot make a one-word sentence with any other type of word.
Verbs are sometimes described as "action words". This is partly true. Many verbs give the idea of action, of "doing" something. For example, words like run, fight, do and work all convey action.
But some verbs do not give the idea of action; they give the idea of existence, of state, of "being". For example, verbs like be, exist, seem and belong all convey state.
A verb always has a subject. (In the sentence "John speaks English", John is the subject and speaks is the verb.) In simple terms, therefore, we can say that verbs are words that tell us what a subject does or is; they describe:
- action (Ramy plays football.)
- state (Maha seems kind.)
this was just an introduction to know what is verbs
Now, we willl see verbs classifications
& after finishing explaining there will be a quiz to test your understanding
Verb Classification
We divide verbs into two broad classifications:
1. Helping Verbs
Imagine that a stranger walks into your room and says:
- I can.
- People must.
- The Earth will.
Do you understand anything? Has this person communicated anything to you? Probably not! That's because these verbs are helping verbs and have no meaning on their own. They are necessary for the grammatical structure of the sentence, but they do not tell us very much alone. We usually use helping verbs with main verbs. They "help" the main verb. (The sentences in the above examples are therefore incomplete. They need at least a main verb to complete them.) There are only about 15 helping verbs.
2. Main Verbs
Now imagine that the same stranger walks into your room and says:
- I teach.
- People eat.
- The Earth rotates.
Do you understand something? Has this person communicated something to you? Probably yes! Not a lot, but something. That's because these verbs are main verbs and have meaning on their own. They tell us something. Of course, there are thousands of main verbs
In the following table we see example sentences with helping verbs and main verbs. Notice that all of these sentences have a main verb. Only some of them have a helping verb.
Helping verbs and main verbs can be further sub-divided, as we shall see on the following Days
I hope that i could make something & that i could pass the information to u & if anyone didn't understand any point just ask & i'll answer it as quick as i can
