LEARNING GRAMMAR FREE



Grammar is the systematic structure of any Language and thus called as its foundation. It is impossible to speak any Language without learning its grammar.  Though profound knowledge is not required but the basic concepts should be clear for fluency. In English grammar, if the parts of Speech are clear then one can speak fluently.
The parts of speech consist of Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Prepositions, Adverbs, Conjunctions and Interjections. 
The nouns are the naming words like the name of a person, place or a thing while the pronouns are the words which replace nouns like he, she, it, you, we and they.  The verbs are the action words and tell what a noun and pronoun do. For example walk, talk, look, eat, sleep etc.
Prepositions are the words which establish the relation of a noun & pronoun with other words to make a meaningful sentence. The prepositions can be categorised according to their usage, like place, time, and direction. Most common prepositions often used are at, in, on. They can be used to talk about time as well as for place. For example: I will see you on Sunday (“on” as time preposition). The book is on the table. (“On” as place preposition).
The adverbs are the words which modify a verb and conjunction functions as a connector for more than one sentence and the interjection shows the emotions & sentiments of speaker.
Thus in nutshell grammar is the mechanism to combine words to make meaningful sentences.

What is an “ INTERJECTIONS” ?

When certain strong feelings and sudden emotions are expressed, we use interjections. The problem  with  interjections is that, because they are technically meaningless they require quite a great deal of context to be understood. They are included in a sentence usually at the start to express a sentiment   in any form. It can be shock, surprise, disgust, joy, excitement and enthusiasm.
Interjections are frequently followed by an exclamation mark. Interjections are not grammatically connected to any part of the sentence so they can be removed without creating any confusion.
The following is a list of interjections with examples.
