What is English grammar?

English grammar is the set of rules that explains how words are put together to make clear sentences. It covers the parts of speech, tenses, sentence structure and punctuation.

How can I learn English grammar fast?

Learn one topic at a time. Read a short lesson with examples, then practise straight away with a quiz. Review your mistakes and repeat. Fifteen to thirty minutes every day works better than long, irregular sessions.

What are the parts of speech?

The eight parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. Articles such as a, an and the are often grouped with adjectives or called determiners.

What is the difference between the past simple and the present perfect?

The past simple describes a finished action at a specific time in the past, for example "I visited Lahore in 2020". The present perfect links the past to now or talks about an unspecified time, for example "I have visited Lahore".

When should I use a, an and the?

Use a before a consonant sound and an before a vowel sound. Use the when you mean a specific thing that is already known or has been mentioned. Use no article for general plural and uncountable nouns.

Is Grammar Reading free?

Yes. All lessons and quizzes are free to use. You can also create a free student account to save your quiz results and track your progress.
