__________________________________________

Adverbials:-

Adverbials modify or tell us something about the sentence or the verb. It may be a single adverb, a phrase, or a prepositional phrase, or clause element.

When an adverbial modifies a verb, it changes the meaning of that verb.

Example

• The people looked at me.
• The people looked at me anxiously. (The verb looked suddenly has a very different meaning).

When an adverbial modifies a sentence, the meaning of the sentence changes.

Example

• I passed all of my exams.
• Surprisingly, I passed all of my exams.

Word groups that are also considered to be adverbials can also modify verbs: a prepositional phrase, a noun phrase, a finite clause or a non-finite clause.

Multi-word adverbials are sometimes called adverbial phrases.

Example

• I ran as quickly as I could, but I missed the bus.

If a whole clause acts as an adverbial, it's called an adverbial clause.

Example

• I'll go to bed when the film ends.

__________________________________________

Cases:-

Case is the grammatical function of a noun or pronoun. There are only three cases in modern English, they are subjective (he), objective (him) and possessive (his). They may seem more familiar in their old English form - nominative, accusative and genitive. There is no dative case in modern English.

The pronoun cases only three:-

• 1. Subjective case: pronouns used as subject.
• 2. Objective case: pronouns used as objects of verbs or prepositions.
• 3. Possessive case: pronouns which express ownership.

PERSONAL PRONOUN

Subjective/Nominative	Objective/Accusative	Possessive/Genitive
Referring to the subject in a sentence	Referring to the object in a sentence	The apostrophe form of the word ("Lynne's).
I	Me	Mine
You	You	Yours
He	Him	His
She	Her	Hers
It	It	Its
We	Us	Ours
They	Them	Theirs
Who	Whom	Whose

These pronouns, and who and its compounds, are the only words that are inflected in all three cases (subjective, objective, possessive). In nouns the first two cases (subjective and objective) are indistinguishable, and are called the common case. One result of this simplicity is that, the sense of case being almost lost, the few mistakes that can be made are made often, even by native speakers, some of them so often that they are now almost right by prescription.

__________________________________________

Common mistakes (confused words)

1 Accept ,Except

The words, 'accept' and 'except' are homophones which are often confused by English speakers. 'Accept' is a verb which means 'to receive' or 'to agree'. Most of the time 'except' is used as a preposition which means 'excluding'.

The following examples will make the usage clear.

Accept (VERB)	Except (PREPOSITION)
Amit accepted the job offer.	I can come with you on all days except Sunday.
Sanjiv accepted the allegation that he had cheated.	All the athletes except Anjali finished the race.
He accepted the invitation to the party.	Everyone except Shantanu was invited to the party.

__________________________________________

2. Bought, Brought

The difference between these two words is a very simple one. They are the past tenses of two different verbs.

'Bought' is the past tense of 'buy'.

Example

• I bought a new car last week.

'Brought' is the past tense of 'bring'

Example

• I brought him a glass of water.

The difference can be remembered easily too, as 'bring' shares its first two letters with 'brought' ('br').

__________________________________________

3.Can , May

 Many English speakers are confused about the usage of the words 'can' and 'may'. For e.g., 'Can I drink water?' is incorrect. 'May I drink water?' is the correct phrase to use in this case.

The key difference between 'can' and 'may' is that 'can' talks about ability and 'may' talks about permission.

CAN

Can is used in two cases:

To talk about ability.

Example

• I can finish my homework by 5 pm.
• Can you finish your homework tonight?

To ask or give permission informally.

Example

• Can I use your pen? (To a friend)
• You can use my pen. (To a friend)

MAY

May is generally used to ask or give permission formally.

Let us take a situation between a student and a teacher.

Example

• May I drink water?
• Teacher: Yes, you may.

Let us take a situation between two strangers.

Example

• May I borrow your pen?
• Yes, you may.

__________________________________________

4. Affect, Effect

Two words commonly confused by English speakers are 'effect' and 'affect'. 'Affect' is used as a verb and means 'to have an influence on' and 'Effect' is used as a noun and means 'the result'.

AFFECT

Example

• The dropped catch did not affect the result of the game.
• The heavy rainfall affected the grains kept in the old warehouse.

EFFECT

Example

• The effect of the tsunami was devastating.
• The side effect of the cough syrup was drowsiness.

__________________________________________

5. Have, Has

'Have' and 'has' are both used to denote possession, form the perfect tense, and the past tense of both is 'had', but they are used differently.

Have

'Have' is used with the following pronouns: I, you, we, they.

Example

• I have a pencil.
• We have a big house.

Pluralised nouns

Example

• Doctors have a rough time, dealing with illnesses all the time.

Has

'Has' is used with the third person singular ( he, she, it) .

Example

• She has your money.
• Amit has the book.

_________________________________________

6. There, Their, They're

Many speakers tend to get confused between 'There', 'Their' and 'They're' and knowing how to use these three words correctly is an important step in learning English.

The words 'There' and' Their' are homophones. Homophones are words that are spelt differently but pronounced the same. It is a common mistake to replace one for the other.

'There' always refers to a place, whether concrete or abstract, whereas 'Their' shows belonging or possession. 'They're, on the other hand, is the short form of they are

Let's look at these examples for each of them

THERE

Example

• How can anyone live there?
• Let's go there.
• There will be a party tomorrow,

THEIR

Example

• Let us buy their car.
• Let us not go to their house.
• Return their books tomorrow.

THEY'RE

Example

• They're sitting there in their car.

In this sentence, notice how 'there' is used to signify a place whereas 'their' is used to show possession. The word 'they're' is a contraction of the word 'they' and 'are' and should not be confused with 'their' and 'there'.

20 Grammar Rules

Here are 20 simple rules and tips to help you avoid mistakes in English grammar. For more comprehensive rules please look under the appropriate topic (part of speech etc) on our grammarand other pages.

1. A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period/full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark. see Punctuation

• The fat cat sat on the mat.
• Where do you live?
• My dog is very clever!

2. The order of a basic positive sentence is Subject-Verb-Object. (Negative and question sentences may have a different order.)

• John loves Mary.
• They were driving their car to Bangkok.

3. Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. An object is optional. Note that an imperative sentence may have a verb only, but the subject is understood.

• John teaches.
• John teaches English.
• Stop! (i.e. You stop!)

4. The subject and verb must agree in number, that is a singular subject needs a singular verb and a plural subject needs a plural verb.

• John works in London.
• That monk eats once a day.
• John and Mary work in London.
• Most people eat three meals a day.

5. When two singular subjects are connected by or, use a singular verb. The same is true for either/or and neither/nor.

• John or Mary is coming tonight.
• Either coffee or tea is fine.
• Neither John nor Mary waslate.

6. Adjectives usually come before a noun (except when a verb separates the adjective from the noun).

• I have a big dog.

• (Her husband is rich.)

7. When using two or more adjectives together, the usual order is opinion-adjective + fact-adjective + noun. (There are some additional rules for the order of fact adjectives.)

• I saw a nice French table.
• That was an interesting Shakespearian play.

8. Treat collective nouns (e.g. committee, company, board of directors) as singular OR plural. In BrE a collective noun is usually treated as plural, needing a plural verb and pronoun. In AmE a collective noun is often treated as singular, needing a singular verb and pronoun.

English Language Day

UN English Language Day

ADD ARTICLE DESCRIPTION

---

UN English Day is observed annually on the 23rd April. The event was established by UN's Department of Public Information in 2010 "to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization".

For the English Language Day, April was chosen because it is the date "traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare". Other dates were selected for the celebration of the UN's other five official languages.
