In case you are a copy writer or an avid blog writer then you may not have to worry so much about grammar and its common mistakes.

However when you are into serious writing like that of a book or writing content for any website or just a writer in newspaper writing; then each day you must strive to become a better writer.

Perhaps it may be so that you have he urge to deliver a speech before the audience in a packed auditorium but each time he thought haunts you a chill sensation creeps down your spine and you think that you are quite unfit for the purpose for it is your fundamental lacking in stock of relevant words that goads you to share the chilling experience. But I think if you think you can you can.
Writing of a speech is not as hard as you think. It has basically three parts-
- An Introduction
- The body
- A conclusion
Now let us start with the introductory part. It is perhaps the most vital part. Try to focus on the perfect idea that you want to highlight. Try to deliver your ideas in such a simple style that every man present can assume what you are trying to say through you speech. You have to think of the audience first. You brood over the matter of the people you see there in the audience. I am the audience who should be the target of your speech. You have to select a language that can be easily comprehended by even the listener who is sitting at the farthest corner of the auditorium.

You perhaps may be a bit confused when I am going to tell you that there are six Parts of Speech in English grammar. You know actually there is the reference of eight Parts of Speech in English grammar, may be I am a little off my head. But it is actually so what I am telling you. There are six common Parts of Speech with their special characteristics. These six are Noun/Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Conjunction and finally Preposition/Interjection. Now let us have a glimpse of the features of these six.
Noun/Pronoun
We generally know that Noun is such a word that is used to give a name to a person or a thing. Watch this example minutely.
Brett saw a dog on the road.
In this sentence Brett is the name of a man. It is the dog that is the name of an animal. Road is the name of a place. Hence we can easily say that Brett, dog and road are nouns.
Again Noun is classified into five different kinds. They are -
1) Proper noun
2) Common Noun
3) Collective Noun
4) Material Noun
5) Abstract Noun
A Proper Noun denotes an individual in pa... Read more...

You perhaps know it for certain that an Adverb is that word that qualifies any part of speech save the noun and the pronoun. But in other grammar too you may find the definition elaborated in a different manner. There the definition goes thus- An Adverb is that particular word that is used to qualify a verb, an adverb and the adjective. But when we brood over the matter it seems that the second definition is not at all correct. For, it is Adverb that may qualify preposition and conjunction too.
Now we can discuss in details the Relative Adverb. It may seem a bit complicated when you are going to use it. Before brooding over the relative adverb you have to have a clear idea of the relative clause. The number of relative adverb is not much; hence the use is limited to some extent. Still you have to take care when you would go to apply them.
Again Relative Adverbs are in some respect same in form as the interrogative adverbs. But the basic difference that you may note is that like the interrogative adverbs they do not ask questions, rather join two sentences. So you have the sole right to define relative adverb in two way... Read more...

You have the desire to learn English quite efficiently as you do not know the world language quite well. Then what would you do first? I suggest it is the best way to know everything about the English grammar where you can find the synchronized rules and find the right way that would offer you a perfect idea of the language. It is the grammar that teaches us how we play quite effectively with words.
It is not possible for a human being to learn the English grammar quite easily. There are many facets that are very hard to assimilate as there is no hard and fast rule or the stereo type. According to situations the rules change and sometimes there is no ripple in the lake of rules and regulations, as if, it is stagnant for ever. Still English grammar is never static; it always follows an evolving system without brooding over the matter to change the basics in general. Since time immemorial the basic elements of grammar remains the same.

It is the prime intention of all to learn English, the World Language, well. It is his /her dream to master the language and to express it through the speech and writing. But before mastering the language it is better to know the grammar of it. For it is inevitable to learn English grammar to have a keen sense of the language. Without it the learner is nothing but a man groping in the dark from time indefinite.
Among the eight parts of speech the noun comes first as noun is the name of anything whether it is the person, a place, an idea or anything else. Hence in a word we can easily say that noun is nothing but a naming word. It is noun that plays the most vital role in a sentence. So without the use of a noun it is quite impossible to use a sentence or express any feeling.
Now it is the first and foremost duty of the leaner of the English grammar to pick out from a sentence the nouns and try to differentiate it with the other parts of speech. It has to be noted that there are five nouns.
Proper noun- It is that noun which denotes the name of anything under the... Read more...

It is the best way to express the mastery of a language efficiently comes when you can grip the art of communicating in good English. Your mastery of the language is reflected through the style of your writing. How perfectly you are manifesting your thoughts.

If you want to write English you must have to learn the perfect use of the quotation marks. The sign goes thus—”———”. These marks are always used to enclose a saying of someone or something that is borrowed from somewhere else.
Generally quotation marks can be used when we quote someone word by word. We use the marks so that the words uttered by the man are kept intact. There is no change in the saying. There is no way to extort the saying of the speaker.
We can use the direct quotation marks when a sentence is already going on. Or the marks may be used from the very beginning when the speaker is saying something.
- While discussing on the Romantic poets our teacher suddenly expressed,” Above all the Romantic period is the best period in the history of English Literature, I think.”
- Our English teacher all on a sudden declared,” Romantic period is the best period in the history of English literature, I think.”
We can use the quotation... Read more...

If you want to write English quite perfectly, you have to know some usages that are mandatory to be learnt and if misused can make your writing nothing ‘but’ a mess. One of the words that often causes headache to the ESL writers is ‘But’. But may be used as a conjunction and a preposition and be easily placed before a sentence or in the middle of a sentence.
Let’s try to look into the matter of the perfect use of But. But, as a conjunction, is generally used to join the ideas that are absolutely contrasting. Now look at the sentences where the ideas are reflected.
v The man is old but enjoys sound health
v My father is honest , but not clever
v The book is thin but packed with great ideas.
In all these sentences, the contrasting ideas are hinted at. For example, in the first sentence the man is old but he enjoys sound health that is not expected from an old man. Actually the contrasting idea is that an old man must not enjoy strong health. He must be fragile.
