Grammar is essential for effective communication – verbal or written. Without a proper usage of grammar, usually, the speech or the paper is not clear and is hard to understand. And since communication is the basis of the learning process, the students need a good foundation of grammar to be able to understand and learn the material exposed to them, just as much as they need it so that they can convey their ideas clearly and concisely.
Our tutors at Tutoring in Los Angeles are experts in the usage of the proper grammar and they can explain to students the rules that stay at the base of the proper usage of the language. Our tutors work to improve the grammar, not only during English Language Arts sessions, but during essay writing for any subject matter, during Spanish and French sessions through analogies with the English grammar rules, and during the sessions for all other subject matters since properly understanding the material requires a correct mastering of the grammar rules.
Many times, especially now, in IM and social media interaction age, students tend to forgo the correct usage of grammar, due to restrictions in length in IMs and this tendency is translated more and more in speaking and in writing, neglecting that the circumstances are academic and not colloquial.
Grammar can be a wonderful challenge that opens the doors to an usage of a language that is richer, more effective, more fascinating and more meaningful.
A noun's a thing. A verb's the thing it does.
An adjective is what describes the noun.
In "The can of beets is filled with purple fuzz"
of and with are prepositions. The's
an article, a can's a noun,
a noun's a thing. A verb's the thing it does.
A can can roll—or not. What isn't was
or might be, might meaning not yet known.
"Our can of beets is filled with purple fuzz"
is present tense. While words like our and us
are pronouns—i.e. it is moldy, they are icky brown.
A noun's a thing; a verb's the thing it does.
Is is a helping verb. It helps because
filled isn't a full verb. Can's what our owns
in "Our can of beets is filled with purple fuzz."
See? There's almost nothing to it. Just
memorize these rules...or write them down!
A noun's a thing, a verb's the thing it does.
The can of beets is filled with purple fuzz.
