English Grammar Rules 


Although there are hundreds of different grammar rules in English, the
important ones to be remembered are discussed below. Before understanding
English Grammar, you must be aware of some simple rules and tips to help
you avoid mistakes in English grammar.

1. Punctuation is the basic factor to be considered when learning English


Grammar. A sentence must always start with a capital letter and ends with a
full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark as per the sense of the
sentence.

2. In every sentence, a subject & verb are mandatory while an object can be
optional. The pattern of any sentence follows the order Subject-Verb-Object,
however, in negative sentences the order may be different. 

3. As per the rules of English Grammar, Adjectives come before a noun


unless a verb separates the adjective from the noun in a sentence. 

4. A singular subject needs a singular verb and a plural subject needs a plural
verb. 

5. As per English Grammar when in a sentence, two singular subjects are


connected by or, use a singular verb. The same goes with the use of either/or
and neither/nor.

6. There is a difference between the use of ‘its/it's’, your/you're, and there/


their/they're having different meanings in the sentence. 

7. A proper noun is a "name" of something and the first alphabet of the proper
noun should be written in capital letters. 

8. In English Grammar, many or few are used with countable nouns and
much/a lot or little is used for uncountable nouns
