Teach English in Hongfeng Nongchang - Maoming Shi

In this unit I learned basic grammar and how to explain in simply. Growing up speaking English, I never learned the foundation to the way my language works; I only learned how to use it. Here is my overview of this unit's content as well as all the information about basic grammar that I learned. Most sentences have a subject, verb and object, and the person or thing to whom the action is applied. Nouns are names of people, animals, places, things, qualities, or states. There are five main types of nouns: common (\"dog\"), proper (\"Fido\"), compound (\"textbook\"), abstract (\"love\"), and collective (\"family\"). Some nouns are countable and some are uncountable. Adjectives describe nouns. When using multiple adjectives, they should be placed in the following order before the noun: size, age, color, then material. Adjectives can also be comparative or superlatives. To make a comparative, the basic rule is: adjective + ...er than. In some cases, another rule is: more + adjective. Superlatives takes the entire group and expresses the highest quality or degree, for example: the tallest, the youngest, the smartest. The general rule here is: the + adjective + ...est. If the adjective is three syllables or more, then the rule changes to: the most + adjective. There are two types of articles: definite (the) and indefinite (a and an). The definite article is used when the noun is particular or specific. Indefinite articles are used with singular nouns and when the noun is general. There are two types of verbs: transitive and intransitive. Transitive verbs are followed directly by an object, for example in the sentence \"Mulan eats tacos,\" \"eats\" is the transitive verb followed by the object \"tacos.\" Intransitive verbs cannot be followed directly by an object; it simply \"does\" an action. They are often related to time, place, or frequency. For example, \"He slept late.\
