Grammar Rules
Grammar rules are like the rules you follow when playing a game. They help you communicate and write clearly. There are many grammar rules, but we will start with some of the most important ones.
Nouns: Nouns are words that name people, places, things, and ideas. For example, 'dog,' 'city,' and 'happiness' are all nouns.
Verbs: Verbs are action words. They show what someone or something is doing. For example, 'run,' 'eat,' and 'play' are verbs.
Subject-Verb Agreement: This means that the verb in a sentence must agree with the subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. For example, 'The dog runs in the park' (singular) and 'The dogs run in the park' (plural).
Punctuation: Punctuation marks like periods, question marks, and exclamation points help us know when to stop, ask a question, or show excitement. For example, 'I like ice cream.' and 'What is your name?' use punctuation to make the sentences clear.
Capitalization: We use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns like names and places. For example, 'I went to New York City with my friend Mary.' starts with a capital letter and has proper nouns capitalized.
