1. The Simple Past Tense and The Present Perfect
a. The simple past tense :
The simple past tense is one of the most common tenses in English. Its form is the same with all subjects. It is usually formed by adding -ED to the verb. This page will explain the rules for forming the tense with regular verbs.
b.The present perfect :
The present perfect is a grammatical combination of the present tense and the perfect aspect, used to express a past event that has present consequence.
Example :
I was a stamp collector
I have written english lesson for 30 minutes
2. Subject Verb Agreement
The subject and verb must agree in number: both must be singular, or both must be plural. Problems occur in the present tense because one must add an -s or -es at the end of the verb when the subjects or the entity performing the action is a singular third person: he, she, it, or words for which these pronouns could substitute.
Example :
One dog is sitting on the grass
Two dogs are sitting on the grass
3. Possesive Pronouns and Adjective Pronouns
The difference between a possessive pronoun and a possessive adjective is best understood when the definitions of each are clear. A pronoun is a term used in place of a noun: she, you, they, we, and it. An adjective is used to modify or describe a noun, or in some cases an adverb: Ugly dog, beautiful tree, tasty soup.
Example :
The dog is mine
The brown cat is hers
Possesive Adjective + Noun
Example :
Her cat is brown
My dog is big
4. Collective Noun
In linguistics, a collective noun is a collection of things taken as a whole. For example, in the phrase "a pride of lions", pride is a collective noun.
Most collective nouns in everyday speech, such as "group", are
mundane and are not specific to a kind of object. For example, the terms
"group of people", "group of dogs", and "group of ideas" are all
correct uses. Others, especially words belonging to the large subset of
collective nouns known as terms of venery (words for groups of
animals), are specific to one kind of constituent object.
For example, "pride" as a term of venery refers to lions, but not to dogs or cows.
Collective nouns should not be confused with mass nouns, or with the collective grammatical number.
