When it comes to Basic English grammar, article plays an important role. Here, we will see all about articles on English grammar.
Meaning of Article:
An article is nothing but the word used before a noun and which states whether the noun is an indefinite or a definite noun. An article establishes the noun and indicates how specific the noun is.
Types of Articles:
Article is classified into two types; they are definite article and indefinite article. The basic English grammar also teaches when an article should not be used and this is called no article.

In English language, linking words are those which join clauses within the sentence. There are also linking words that join ideas across sentences and paragraphs. These are something called ‘text organizers’ because they make the organization of what we say or write. They are more common in writing or formal speech. Linking words are very much important for the writing to be clear and natural. Linking words are also called conjunctions. Generally, a sentence cannot begin with conjunction. The word ‘because’ is the well-known example for conjunction. From to a famous saying ‘A sentence cannot begin with the word because since it is a conjunction’. Only in rare cases a sentence will begin with these words. Linking words differ in three ways and they are as follows:
- Position in the sentence: Some linking words generally form a link between the clauses and it is not good to start a sentence with these types of words. Example: because, such as, and, until.

Having constructed your essay or exam answer, the job is not finished. Where possible, you need to edit, clarify, cut and polish your words. This doesn’t mean that you have to write, write again, rewrite and endlessly reconstruct an essay. The chance of it getting much better during such an assault is unlikely. The best written compositions tend to be the originals, and once heavy editing starts the original flavor can soon be lost. But there is always room for judicious pruning and clarification, and this depends on a careful re-reading of your work. Or rather two or three re-readings.
1. Re-read for sense, logic and coherence. Check that the facts are in order, the argument flows progressively, the conclusion is supported by the material in the middle, the detailed content, the facts.
2. Re-read and chop out all the unnecessary words, phrases or sentences that clutter up your meaning and intrude on clear thought. You will be amazed at how much superfluous verbiage you can edit out.
3. Check spelling, punctuation and presentation – the agreement of tense etc.
Check that your summary really d... Read more...

Punctuation is important. It is an essential part of the signaling system of language and is central to effective communication – as well as to the passing of exams. A lot of people, however, make an awful mess of punctuation, which means that their performance in essays suffers and that they fail to do themselves justice.
The question mark, unlike the exclamation mark, is essential, and something you must take care to include when it is required:
Did Napoleon represent a real threat to Britain?
Whenever you ask a direct question in your writing, you need to include a question mark: Can I borrow your bike? Is your name Marco? Does metal expand when heated? How long is a piece of string? It is sometimes a little Wore difficult to remember that you are asking a question if you construct a complex sentence with subordinate clauses that delay the arrival of the Question:
The question is, given British naval superiority and the fact that Britain is an island; did Napoleon represent a real threat to Britain?
It is all too easy to forget about the question mark at the end of a long Sentence like th... Read more...

The writing of a dissertation or final report usually involves a longer period of time and more one-to-one supervision than does any previous work in a program of study. There should, therefore, be opportunity for you to receive feedback as you undergo the process of planning, investigating and writing up the work (rather than only after completion). Let us therefore consider how to make use of this feedback.
Proactively seeking advice
As you progress through the investigation of issues and the writing of tike dissertation itself, so the kind of advice you will require changes. You need to recognize this and actively seek the appropriate kind of feedback at the right time. In my experience some students are very good at getting the most out of me as a supervisor and varying their questioning as they progress; others are less so and tend to remain at one level where they either expect too much or too little or an inappropriate kind of guidance.
To get the best out of your supervisor, you need to see yourself as managing the way in which you are being supervised:
