summary of material
Transitive and intransitive verbs refer to whether or not the verb uses a direct object.
example:
Please bring coffee.
English doesn’t use grammatical gender (except for pronouns), and only the verb be
changes based on whether it’s first, second, or third person. That means most English
subject-verb agreement is about quantity: if the subject is singular, the verb must be
singular; if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural.
Even this can get confusing, though, because talking in the first-person singular (“I climb
the fence”) uses the same verb format as talking in the first-person plural (“We climb the
fence”). Aside from the verb be, subject-verb agreement in English adapts verbs to the
third-person singular (“It climbs the fence”).
Usage and subject-verb agreement examples
Basically, most subjects except third-person singular use the standard form of a verb in
the present tense.
Coordinating conjunctions are limited to a few words that can easily be remembered with
a simple acronym: FANBOYS
An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e., describes) a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives may come before the word they modify.
Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what extent—how often or how much (e.g.,
daily, completely).
Examples:
He speaks slowly (tells how)
