Learning English the Easy Way - I (for Working People)

Let us see what is:

SINGULAR ~ ONE

PLURAL ~ MANY

First Person Singular "I"

First Person Plural "We"

We can learn the language in a very simple way by using Color Cards that will represent the important parts of a sentence and help us in understanding the relevance of each part in forming the sentence.

  • First, we will make three color cards for "Subject", "Verb" and "Object". Subject to represent the person or object that does the action or activity denoted by the "Verb" card and the "object"  is the objective or result of the action.
E.g. Girl makes tea. Girl = Subject, makes = Verb, tea = Object.
Subject is person or thing that does the action denoted by Verb.
So, Subject can be Noun (name of person or any living thing, place or non-living thing.)
E.g Girl = Noun and makes = Verb.
Object is the result of the action (Verb) of Subject
So, Object often Noun (name of person or any living thing, place or non-living thing.)
E.g. The result of Girl's action of making is "Tea" = Noun.

Note:

Pronoun is a word that represents noun.
