The Sentence

We make use of signs and gestures to express our thoughts sometimes but we cannot only depend on them. We also need words to convey our feelings hidden behind our thoughts and words are formed by joining alphabet.
Similarly we join words to form a sentence.

Bill cat on mat.
Go do so.
Will do at sat.

The above words are all in a group but they cannot be termed as sentences. The words in a sentence are in a proper order and they make a complete sense. For example:

Bill sat on a mat.
I shall go and do so.
Will you do my work?
The above group of words are sentences for they are arranged in definite order and they make a complete sense.
Definition of Sentence:-   A sentence is a group of words that make a complete sense.

An Introduction

language is a medium of expression and communication. Human beings have been gifted with this wonderful creation i.e Language. We are able to convey our thoughts and feelings so easily with the help of this medium. Not only this, we have also been gifted with a unique ability to learn any language across the world. 
All the languages are important, no doubt, but English has occupied a special place by becoming a universal language ---- the language of the world --- being spoken by the largest number of people. 
The foundation of every language is its Grammar without which it is incomplete and incomprehensible. And so we have English Grammar.


My first and foremost effort , through this blog, would be to make the readers familiar with basic grammar items and then move on to integrated grammar exercises. I hope u find them beneficial.
