As a beginner English learner, understanding the parts of speech is essential to grasp the structure and meaning of sentences. Here are the main parts of speech with simple explanations:
Every complete sentence consists of two main parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells us what the subject does or is.
Tense indicates the time of an action or event (past, present, or future). It helps us understand when something happens. Aspect describes the nature of the action, whether it’s completed, ongoing, or habitual. It provides more details about the timing and duration of the action.

Advanced Grammar topics
Conditional grammar refers to the set of rules and structures used to express hypothetical or speculative situations, events, or outcomes based on certain conditions
Word formation refers to the ways in which new words are created in a language.
In English, sentences can be written in either active or passive voice. Understanding the difference between these two voices helps in making sentences clear and emphasizing the desired part of the sentence.
Gerunds and infinitives are verb forms that function as nouns in a sentence. Understanding their usage is essential for constructing sentences correctly and expressing actions effectively.
Contrasting ideas in grammar are typically expressed through a variety of linguistic devices that highlight the differences or oppositions between two or more elements within a sentence or a larger piece of text.
When we talk about what someone else said, we can use either direct or indirect speech. Understanding the differences between these two forms helps in accurately conveying messages and conversations.
Participial clauses are a type of dependent clause that use participles to provide additional information about the action in the main clause. They are used to make sentences more concise and to add variety to writing.
Relative clauses are used to provide additional information about a noun without starting a new sentence.
Phrasal verbs are combinations of verbs with one or more particles (prepositions or adverbs) that create a meaning different from the original verb.
