Letter to the reader

DEAR READER,

Thank you very much for your interest in my book. I have re-published this book after making many changes in it. This is in fact like an introductory book to English grammar and I have written another book on English grammar with even more details, that is, English Grammar Essential. I suggest you to read that book also to get substantial grip on English grammar. I cannot say that these two books cover every aspect in English grammar but I hope that they would be helpful to you.

I have taken care not to make any grammar mistakes or other mistakes while preparing this book. But still I am afraid there is a chance of grammatical mistakes and other mistakes in this book. If you come across any mistakes, please let me know, I correct them in the next edition of this book.

With warm regards,

Author,

Kotra Siva Rama Krishna

Sentence

A SENTENCE IS A GROUP of words. Sentences are used to convey some meaning. Words make only partial sense and no sense some times. To make sense, words have to be put in an order in the sentence. Why there should be an order? Just observe the following sentence.

‘Could he as fast as Mike ran in that race running’

Is the above sentence making any sense at all? Of course, the above sentence is making sense but not in a proper and complete way. To give proper and complete sense, words need to be used in an order. Grammar tells us about the order and it has some rules also to make the language properly understandable to one and all.

Now, observe the following sentence:

In that running race, Mike ran as fast as he could

The above sentence is perfectly understandable to everyone. So, to make sentences understandable to all and to convey the meaning of it in a proper way we have to use grammar. Now is the time that we have to start discussing grammar.

So far, we learnt that sentences consist words. Those words need to be put in an order and that order governs by grammar. The words in sentences are called by specific names also.

The general rule that should be followed while making a sentence is, it should begin with a capital letter and . should be put at the end of the sentence. If the sentence is big we can use ‘,’ in between the sentence to break it to make it easy to read and understand. Any number of , can be used in a sentence to make it easily understandable. If the sentence is a question we need to put ‘?’ in the end or if it conveys something surprising, amazing or sorrowful then we need to put ‘!’ in the end.

Anyhow it can be said that there are four types of sentences. They are (1) Declarative (2) Interrogative (3) Imperative and (4) Exclamatory. The uses of these sentences are as follows:

Declarative Sentence:

You can know the use of it by observing the meaning of the words. These sentences simply declare something. They simply tell the state, being or nature of something. Observe the following examples.

1) Nath is a tall boy.

2) Lata is a clever girl

3) This book is very good to read.

Sentences that tell about the facts or truths also called as ‘declarative sentences’.

1) Sun rises in the east

2) Earth is round.

Interrogative sentence:

You guessed it right! Yes, sentences that are used to ask questions are called as interrogative sentences.

1) Where did you put the grammar book?

2) At what time Lata comes here?

A question mark ? should be put at the end of a sentence

Imperative
