Grammar for Class 4: A Guide


In Class 4, students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of grammar. It is an important stage in their language development as they begin to understand the structure and rules of the English language. This document serves as a guide to help students navigate through the basics of grammar.


- Nouns are words that name people, animals, places, things, and ideas.
- They can be classified as common nouns (e.g., cat, city) or proper nouns (e.g., Tom, London).
- Nouns can be singular or plural, and they can also be concrete or abstract.


- Pronouns are words used in place of nouns to avoid repetition.
- Common pronouns include he, she, it, they, we, and you.
- Pronouns must agree in number with the nouns they replace.


- Verbs are words that show action or a state of being.
- They can be classified as action verbs (e.g., run, jump) or linking verbs (e.g., is, am).
- Verbs change their form to indicate tense, such as present, past, or future.


- Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns.
- They provide information about the size, shape, color, or other qualities of the noun.
- Adjectives can be used to compare two or more things, using the degrees of comparison: positive, comparative, and superlative.


- Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
- They provide information about how an action is performed, when it happened, or to what extent.
- Adverbs often end in -ly, but not always (e.g., fast, well).


- A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought.
- It must have a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or being).
- Sentences can be classified as declarative (statements), interrogative (questions), imperative (commands), or exclamatory (expressing strong emotions).


Understanding the basic elements of grammar is essential for effective communication in English. Class 4 serves as the foundation for building strong language skills. By grasping the concepts of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and sentence structure, students will be able to express themselves with clarity and precision.
