English Grammar for Class 6



Parts of Speech:
- Nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections are the parts of speech.
- Each part of speech has a specific function in a sentence.



Sentence Structure:
- A sentence must contain a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing).
- Sentences can be simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.



Tenses:
- Tenses indicate the time of an action or event. The main tenses are present, past, and future.
- Each tense has four forms: simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous.



Punctuation:
- Punctuation marks such as periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, and quotation marks help clarify the meaning of sentences.
- Proper punctuation is essential for clear communication.



Subject-Verb Agreement:
- The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or plural).
- Singular subjects require singular verbs, while plural subjects require plural verbs.



Active and Passive Voice:
- In active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In passive voice, the subject receives the action.
- Understanding when to use active or passive voice is important for effective writing.

By following these rules and understanding the basics of English grammar, students can improve their writing and communication skills.
