Question 37

12 Basic Rules of Grammar

Answer 37

1. Every sentence should start with a Capital letter in the first word. In the English Language, when you are starting a sentence, then make sure that you capitalize the first letter of the first word. Also, remember that you need to capitalize even when you start a new paragraph. 2. Every sentence should either end with a full stop (or) a question mark (or) exclamation mark. 3. Every sentence should have SVO (Subject – Verb – Object). This order is only applicable for positive sentences, not for sentences with negatives or question marks (?) or exclamation marks (!) because they may have different orders. Sometimes, a few sentences don’t mention the subject. Actually, it has a subject, and it is understood even if it is not shown. For example, consider the word “Stop!” – which means that you must stop (here “you” is hidden). 4. The Subject and Verb forms are interrelated in the sentence. 5. Use Either – or (or) Neither – nor depending on the Sentence while using singular nouns. 6. Proper Nouns should be capitalized anywhere in the sentences (including at the beginning) when used. 7. Common Nouns should be capitalized only at the beginning of the sentences. 8. The words its – it’s, and you’re – your are not the same. 9. Use Indefinite Articles for Countable Nouns and Definite with specific Countable & all Uncountable Nouns. 10. Use the article “a” for Consonant sounds and “an” for vowel sounds. 11. Use Apostrophe to show Possessions. 12. Active voice is more preferred than Passive voice in the English Language. Most of them recommend writing Active voice rather than Passive voice while writing articles, letters, etc.
