The young Lions are far more destructive than the old.

Countable Noun- Countable (or count) nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural, these nouns can be used with a number- they can be counted. (Friends, chairs, houses, boys) Uncountable (or non count) nouns, however, can only be used in singular. They can't be counted. (Money, bread, water, coffee)
Examples –

We took many photographs when we went to Los Angeles.
I have only few
Plural Vs Singular
Nouns can be singular or plural. The plural form of a noun is usually formed by adding s at the end of the noun. But this is not always the case. There are exceptions to the rule. Some plurals are irregular.
Singular Vs Plural Examples –
Leaf – Leaves
Knife – Knives
Scarf - Scarves
Singular Examples –
A girl was playing football in the ground.
My horse is hungry and tired.
There is only one window in that house.
Plural Examples –

That boy has been beaten up by those boys.
We have bought new brushephone.
Pronoun
A pronoun is used in the place of a noun or phrase. Or Pronouns are words that substitute a noun or another pronoun.
Examples - I, you, he, she, it, who, themselves.
This House belongs to us.
I won the race.
The matter is between Olivia and me.
Types of pronouns
1- Subject Pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they)
2- Object Pronouns (Me, you, him, her, it, us, and them)
3- Reflexive Pronouns (Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves)
4- Possessive Pronouns (Mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)
5- Demonstrative Pronouns (This, that, those, these)
6- Relative Pronouns (Who, which, that, whose)
Subject Pronouns - Subject pronouns are used as grammatical subjects in a sentence. A subject pronoun does the action of the sentence instead of receiving the action, as an object/objective pronoun does.
Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb.
We do NOT normally say:
Olivia is tall and Olivia is intelligent.
Saying the word "Olivia" twice is repetitive and does not sound natural.
We replace the Subject (Olivia) that appears the second time with a subject pronoun to avoid repetition (and in this case to avoid saying the name Olivia again.)
So we would say:
Olivia is tall and she is intelligent.
We replace the second "Olivia" with the Subject Pronoun "She".
Examples – (I, you, he, she, it, we, and they)
I am from United States of America.
My friends and I are having a great time!
The time is seven o'clock.
Object Pronouns - Object pronouns are used as grammatical objects in the sentence: the direct or indirect object of a verb or the object of a preposition. An object pronoun receives the action instead of doing the action itself. They are contrasted with subject/subjective pronouns.
Examples – (Me, you, him, her, it, us, and them)
I like you but you don't like me.
He loves sitting next to her.
She always writes e-mails to us.
Reflexive Pronouns - Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object in a sentence are the same person.
Examples – (Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves)
She looked at herself in the mirror.
He injured himself during the game.
Emma herself cooked dinner, not her mother.
Possessive Pronouns - A possessive pronoun is a word that replaces a noun (or a noun phrase) in a sentence and shows ownership. The possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, ours, and theirs.
Examples – (Mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)
This car is bigger than mine.
No, it's yours.
Oliver found his clothes but Emma couldn't find hers.
Demonstrative Pronouns - Demonstrative pronouns are those that identify or point to a thing or things and occasionally persons. They can be both singular and plural and they refer to nouns that are either nearby or far away in time or space.
Examples – (This, that, those, these)
This is her car, and (further away) is mine.
These are my shoes.
That is incorrect.
Relative Pronouns - Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause - either as a subject (who, which, that), or as a direct object (whom, which, that), or in the context of a prepositional phrase (to whom, with which, by which, etc). They are called "relative" because in a declarative sentence, they relate to a noun that has normally just been mentioned.
Examples – (Who, which, that, whose)
Her new laptop, which she bought last week, is very expensive.
The girl whom he met last week is very nice.
This is the woman who sold me a stolen mobile phone.
Verbs
A verb in syntax is a part of speech which conveys action (bring, read, walk, run, learn) or state of being (exist, stand) or Verbs have traditionally been defined as words that show action or state of being.
Sentences in English have a main verb which is stated in a tense (simple present, simple past, simple future...)
Examples –
William writes short stories at home
Emma is buying a newspaper today.
Students went to the play ground often.
Types of Verbs –
Main Verbs (or Action Verbs)
Helping Verbs or (Auxiliary Verbs)
Linking Verbs
Transitive Verbs
Intransitive Verbs
Main Verbs (or Action Verbs) - Main verbs or action verbs are used to express action; something that an animal, a person or a thing does. In each of the following sentences, we only have a main verb. Or Action verbs are verbs that are used to explain what the subject of a sentence is actively doing.
Examples - Ran, swim, jump, move, look, and catch are all action verbs.
He is reading the newspaper.
A girl rolled down the hill on a skateboard.
I wake up at 6 A.M. everyday
Helping Verbs - As the name suggests, helping verbs help or support the main verb, also known as Auxiliary Verbs, lend a helping hand to the main verb in a sentence.
These verbs can assist in:
Forming a question
Creating a negative statement
Showing a possibility
Dictating verb tense
Examples – Is, Be, Do, Have, Could, Must, Will, Should, May, Might, Must, Were
Does Sophia write all her own reports?
I may marry you soon.
She is watching a movie.
Linking Verbs - Linking Verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject.
Examples - be, being, been, am, is, are, was, were, seem, look, feel, sound, and taste.
This sweet tastes
The pizza is heavenly?
The fabric will feel
Transitive Verbs- A transitive verb requires a direct object to complete its meaning, an 'agent' performs an action and a "patient" or "theme" undergoes the action. The direct object usually takes form as a noun phrase.
It has two prominent features:
It acts as an action verb, expressing an activity.
It uses a direct object that receives an action.
Examples –
I know – Here, the verb is ‘know’ The object upon which that verb is acting is Emma. Therefore, know is a transitive verb in this case.
He lost my cat. – The verb is ‘lost’ The object upon which that verb is acting is my cat. Lost, then, is a transitive verb in this case.
He found the article very interesting to read. – The verb ‘found’ is taking the object ‘the article,’ making this a transitive verb in this case.
Intransitive Verbs - An intransitive verb does not accept an object (Noun Phrase) as its complement. Instead, it may take an adverb or a prepositional phrase as its complement (a required element) or as an adjunct (an optional element). A passive structure cannot be formed because there is no object.
Examples –
The students arrived at the residency in Chicago.
The patient’s health deteriorated quickly during the night.
The meeting continued after the break.
Adjectives
An adjective is a word which modifies a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives are describing words. Large, grey, and friendly are all examples of adjectives.
Examples –
They live in a big, beautiful.
This shop is much nicer.
The sky was multicolored.
(i). Adjectives may come before a noun
He found a nice job
(ii). Adjectives may also come after certain verbs like be, feel, seem, look:
He is intelligent
I feel happy
She seems unhappy
They look fantastic
The Different Types of Adjectives
The Articles
Possessive Adjectives
Demonstrative Adjectives
Indefinite Adjectives
Numbers Adjectives
The Articles - There are only three articles, and all of them are adjectives: a, an, and the. Because they are used to discuss non-specific things and people, a and an are called indefinite articles.
Examples –
I think an animal is in the garage.
I own a horse and two cats.
The girl sitting next to me raised her hand.
Possessive Adjectives - my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their - modify the noun following it in order to show possession.
Examples –
This is my car
Why didn't you clean your room?
Its color is beautiful.
Demonstrative Adjectives- Demonstrative adjectives are adjectives that are used to modify a noun so that we know which specific person, place, or thing is mentioned.
Examples – (This, that, former, latter, these, those)
If I hear that parrot again, I will call the police.
Can you pass me this black pen?
The former education minister was a corrupt person.
Indefinite Adjectives - Indefinite adjective offers general information about the amount of the noun it modifies.
Examples – another, any, less, little, many, more, much, some
She left the house a few (adjective) minutes (Noun) ago.
I expected several visitors for today’s function.
Both charges have not been proved.
Numbers Adjectives- Numbers are classified as adjectives too.

Emma did not like bananas but she loved apples.
You may bring a main dish or a side dish to the party.
There are three types of conjunctions:
Coordinating Conjunctions
Correlative Conjunctions
Subordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions - Coordinating conjunctions, also called coordinators, are conjunctions that connect two or more equal items.
Examples- and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet
She plays tennis and soccer
It is raining, so we have an umbrella.
He works quickly but accurately
Correlative Conjunctions- Correlative Conjunctions are used in pairs. They work in pairs to coordinate two items.
Examples- both...and..., either...or, not only... but also... neither…nor, not only …. But also
My sister will begin either trade school or community college in the fall.
I didn't know that she can neither read nor
He is not only a strong student but also a gifted athlete.
Subordinating Conjunctions - Subordinating conjunctions, also called subordinators, are conjunctions that join a dependent (or subordinating) clause to an independent (or main) clause.
Examples- After, Although, As, Because, Before, Even if, Even though, If, In order that, Once, Provided that, Rather than, Since, So that, Than, That, Though, Unless, Until, When, Whenever, Where, Whereas, Wherever, Whether, While, Why

Interjections
In grammar, an interjection is a part of speech or (a lexical category) which is used to show a short sudden expression of emotion. Interjections are short exclamations like Oh!, Um or Ah! They have no real grammatical value but we use them quite often, usually more in speaking than in writing. An interjection is a short word or phrase that shows emotion. It often stands alone, unconnected to a sentence.
Example –
Oops! I did it again!
Ooh, what a lovely dress!
Yahoo, we did it!
Alas, it was not to be.
You two are dating? Awesome!
Bingo! Right on target!
Oh wow, that is so cool!
examples.
The straightforward rule is that singular pronouns must go with singular nouns, and plural pronouns must go with plural nouns.
So, for example:
“Every boy must sign in when they arrive” is incorrect. “Boy” is singular, and “they” is plural.
The correct phrasing here would be:
“Every boy must sign in when he arrives.”
Grammar and punctuation are essential in the English language and gaining confidence in how to avoid any grammatical errors is a valuable part of your learning journey.
You should practice developing your grammar daily; it will help you to become a confident writer with a firm grasp on the English language.
