LESSON 1
PRONOUN, AUXILIARY, VERB (PAV)

You have to consider the grammar rules in order that you can speak fluent English. Here we talk about the Parts of speech whereby you will not be able to speak without them(Parts of speech). And not to speak for the sake of speaking but the proper arrangements and grammar rules consideration. Here we consider three basic parts of speech which are Pronoun, Auxiliary, Verb(PAV) as explained below;-
       I.            

I. PRONOUN
In grammar, a pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that may be substituted for a noun or noun phrase
Pronouns are words used to represent people, person, or thing(s) .Basically there are seven pronouns which are
  •  I
  • We
  • They
  • You
  • She
  • He
  • It

 But also we can use names of a person directly like John, Irene instead of she and He.  According to our lesson pronoun will be represented by the letter P
Consider the following sentence to see how pronoun(s) can be used

II. AUXILIARY (OR HELPING) VERBS
Auxiliary (or Helping) verbs are used together with a main verb to show action in a sentence or to form a negative or question. The most common auxiliary verbs are have, be, and do whereby they have their present, continuous, past participle and past form as shown below


PRESENT
CONTINUOUS
PAST
PAST PARTICIPLE
Do
Do, Does
Doing
Did
Done
Be
Am, is, are
being
Was, were
been
Have
Have, has
having
had
had

May be you can ask a question, why are the auxiliary verb important?, The answer is that it becomes somehow difficult to recognize what tense a sentence is. For example consider the sentence I have eaten, you can recognize the tense of the sentence by the help of helping verb.
 Generally auxiliary verbs are used to identify a tense in a sentence, for example consider the following sentences

1.     I will go (simple future tense)
2.     I have gone (Present Perfect Tense)
3.     I am going (Present Continuous Tense)
4.     I went (Simple Past Tense)

III.VERBS
Verb is among of important part of speech which is used to show an action(s) in a sentence. We can use more than one verb in a sentence for example,

I like to read books (like and read)

In the context of verbs, we use the term inflection to talk about the process of changing a verb form to show tense, mood, number (i.e. singular or plural), and person (i.e. first personsecond person, or third person) which will start to be discussed from the lesson 2 onwards. This section deals with inflecting verbs to show tenses and participles, and is divided into two main sections:

ü Regular Verbs
ü Irregular Verbs

Regular verbs
Regular verbs are those that follow the regular spelling patterns of past, simple and past participle verbs as shown below

Irregular verbs are those that don’t take on the regular spelling patterns of past simple and past participle verbs as shown below



  
OTHER TYPES OF VERBS
Mental verbs
Action Verbs
Transitive Verbs
Intransitive Verbs
Linking Verbs
Auxiliary Verbs
Stative Verbs
Modal Verbs
Phrasal Verbs


For example
  • 1.     I will go (simple future tense)
  • 2.     I have gone (Present Perfect Tense)
  • 3.     I am going (Present Continuous Tense)
  • 4.     I went (Simple Past Tense)
  • 5.     I go (Simple Present Tense)
  • 6.     She goes (Simple Present Tense)
