Do you struggle with English
grammar? Feel like you’re always making mistakes, or that people don’t
understand what you’re trying to say?
You’re not alone.
Whether you’re learning English to
study abroad, land a better job, or simply communicate confidently, grammar can
often feel like a mountain too steep to climb. But here’s the truth:
Mastering grammar is not just about
rules—it’s about reclaiming your voice.
Welcome to ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS—a
space where English learning becomes simple, practical, and life-changing.
But this post is not just about
grammar. It’s about you. Your story. Your power. Your transformation.
So let’s begin with the basics,
build your skills, and then uncover the most powerful move you can make—not
just in grammar, but in life.
🧠
What Is Grammar, Really?
Grammar is the backbone of any
language. It’s what turns random words into meaningful sentences. Without
grammar, we’d say things like:
❌ “She go school yesterday.”
✅ “She went to school yesterday.”
To master grammar, we must first
understand the 8 parts of speech that form the foundation of every
sentence:
- Nouns
(e.g., book, London)
- Pronouns
(he, she, they)
- Verbs
(run, eat, is)
- Adjectives
(beautiful, fast)
- Adverbs
(quickly, slowly)
- Prepositions
(on, under, before)
- Conjunctions
(and, but, because)
- Interjections
(wow, oh, hey)
Together, these parts help form
complete thoughts—and powerful stories.

Building Blocks: Sentence Structure & Tenses
A solid sentence has three main
elements:
- Subject
– Who or what the sentence is about.
- Verb
– The action or state.
- Object
– Who/what receives the action.
Example:
John (subject) is reading (verb) a
book (object).
Now, let’s add tenses—which
tell us when the action happens:
- Past:
I watched a movie.
- Present:
I am watching a video.
- Future:
I will watch a movie.
Mastering tenses is key to clear
communication, especially if you're sharing your story.

Common Mistakes Learners Make
Avoid these to sound more fluent:
❌ “She go to school.” → ✅
“She goes to school.”
❌ “I didn’t went to the party.” → ✅ “I didn’t go to the party.”
❌ “He don’t like coffee.” → ✅
“He doesn’t like coffee.”
Just small changes—but they make a
world of difference.
📚 Dive Deeper: Parts of Speech Explained
Here’s a closer look at the parts of
speech to solidify your understanding.
🔹 Nouns
Names of people, places, things, or
ideas.
Common Nouns: city, teacher
Proper Nouns: London, Sarah
Countable/Uncountable: apple vs. rice
Abstract/Concrete: love vs. book
Collective: team, jury
🔹 Pronouns
Replace nouns for smoother
sentences.
Types:
- Subject:
I, he, they
- Object:
me, him, them
- Possessive:
mine, yours
- Reflexive:
myself, herself
- Demonstrative:
this, those
- Interrogative:
who, what
- Relative:
who, which, that
- Indefinite:
someone, anybody
- Reciprocal:
each other
🔹 Verbs & Adjectives
Verbs show action (run) or state (is).
Adjectives describe nouns (red, tall).
Example:
“The happy girl runs quickly.”
Here, "happy" is an
adjective, "runs" is a verb, and "quickly" is an adverb.
🔹 Adverbs & Prepositions
Adverbs: Modify verbs/adjectives (e.g., always, soon, beautifully)
Prepositions: Show relationship or position (e.g., in, on, before,
because of)
“She arrived early.” (Adverb of
time)
“The book is on the table.” (Preposition of place)
🔹 Conjunctions & Interjections
Conjunctions connect ideas: and, but, although
Interjections express emotion: wow, ouch, yay
🔁 Understanding Voice: Active vs. Passive
Active: The subject does the action.
The chef cooked the meal.
Passive: The object is emphasized.
The meal was cooked by the chef.
Use active voice for power
and clarity. Use passive voice when the doer is unknown or unimportant.
🕰️ Mastering All 12 Tenses
English has 12 tenses grouped
into Past, Present, and Future, each with four forms:
- Simple:
He eats.
- Continuous:
He is eating.
- Perfect:
He has eaten.
- Perfect Continuous:
He has been eating.
Learn and practice each to speak
with confidence.
🏗️ Sentence Structure & Flow
Understand:
- Simple sentences:
One idea (e.g., She reads.)
- Compound:
Two ideas with a conjunction (e.g., She reads, and she writes.)
- Complex:
One main idea + a dependent clause (e.g., She reads because she loves
books.)
Maintain parallel structure:
✅ She likes swimming, running, and cycling.
❌ She likes swimming, to run, and cycling.
🌍 Stories That Show the Power of Words
Beyond grammar, what truly connects
us is the stories we tell—and how we use language to express emotion,
identity, struggle, and hope.
Let me tell you a few stories from
learners just like you.
✈️
The Girl on the Plane – Elena’s Story
Elena was lost—emotionally,
academically, and in life. On a plane, she met a woman named Margaret who
changed everything by simply sharing a story. It was a story of pain, recovery,
and finding strength through connection.
“You are not a problem,” Margaret
said. “You are a person.”
Those words stayed with Elena. She
returned, rebuilt her life, and started again.
🧍♂️
The Man Who Waited Too Long – A Father’s Story
He spent his life working for his
children—but missed every birthday, every game, every graduation.
“Love is not money. Love is time,”
he realized too late.
But when his children finally came
to see him in the hospital, forgiveness and healing began. That day, they
didn't talk about the past—they talked about now.
🌆 The Journey to New York – Elena & Sophia's Risk
Two girls from a small country,
chasing a dream to start over in New York. They faced danger, doubt, and
hunger. But with each step, they grew stronger.
“We had nothing—just dreams and
fear. But we took the risk.”
Now, they are working, learning
English, and building a life of their own. It all started with a choice: to
believe in something better.
