📘 7. TENSES – COMPLETE LESSON

🔰 Introduction to Tenses

Tense is one of the most important parts of English grammar. It tells us when an action happens—in the present, past, or future.

👉 In simple words:
Tense = Time of an action

Every sentence in English has a time. For example:

I eat rice. (Present)
I ate rice. (Past)
I will eat rice. (Future)

Without tenses, communication becomes confusing. Tenses help us understand:

When something happened
Whether it is still happening
Whether it will happen later

The boy runs every morning.
She writes a letter.

✔ Mental Action:

Basics of English Grammar

A Complete Lesson for Beginners

Introduction

Grammar is the foundation of any language. It helps us speak correctly, write clearly, and understand meaning properly. Without grammar, communication becomes confusing.

In this lesson, we will learn the basic building blocks of English grammar, including:

Alphabet & Sounds
Vowels and Consonants
Word Formation
Parts of a Sentence

This lesson is designed to be simple, practical, and easy to understand, especially for beginners and young learners.

1. Alphabet & Sounds

What is the Alphabet?

The English alphabet has 26 letters:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M
N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

These letters are the basic units of English language.

Letters vs Sounds

A very important concept:

Letters are written symbols
Sounds are how we pronounce them

Example:

The word “cat” has 3 letters → C-A-T
But also 3 sounds → /k/ /æ/ /t/

Types of Sounds

1. Vowel Sounds

Produced with open mouth, no blockage
Examples: a, e, i, o, u

2. Consonant Sounds

Produced with air blockage using lips, tongue, or teeth
Examples: b, c, d, f, g

Why Sounds Matter

Correct pronunciation helps:

Better speaking
Clear communication
Confidence in English

2. Vowels and Consonants

Vowels

There are 5 vowels: A, E, I, O, U

Features of Vowels:

No obstruction of air
Sound flows freely
Essential for forming words

Examples:

a → apple
e → elephant
i → ink
o → orange
u → umbrella

Consonants

There are 21 consonants: All letters except A, E, I, O, U

Features:

Air is blocked or controlled
Cannot form words alone (usually need vowels)

Examples:

b → bat
c → cat
d → dog

Combination of Vowels and Consonants

Words are formed by combining both:

cat → consonant + vowel + consonant
book → consonant + vowel + vowel + consonant

Important Rule

Every English word must have at least one vowel sound

Examples:

“sky” → vowel sound is hidden (y acts like vowel)
“my” → vowel sound present

3. Word Formation

What is a Word?

A word is a group of letters that has a meaning.

Examples:

boy
run
happy
school

Types of Words

1. Simple Words

Made of one part
book, pen, run

2. Compound Words

Two words joined together
classroom = class + room
toothpaste = tooth + paste

3. Root Words

Basic form of a word
play, write, read

4. Prefix and Suffix

Prefix (added at beginning)

unhappy (un + happy)
rewrite (re + write)

Suffix (added at end)

teacher (teach + er)
happiness (happy + ness)

Why Word Formation is Important

Helps expand vocabulary
Improves spelling
Makes learning easier

4. Parts of a Sentence

What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that: ✔ makes complete sense
✔ has a subject and a verb

Examples:

She is playing.
I like mangoes.

Main Parts of a Sentence

1. Subject

The subject tells us: Who or what the sentence is about

Examples:

Riya is reading
The dog is barking

“Riya” and “The dog” are subjects

2. Predicate

The predicate tells us: What the subject is doing

Examples:

Riya is reading
The dog is barking

“is reading” and “is barking” are predicates

Example Breakdown

Sentence:
The boy plays football

Subject → The boy
Predicate → plays football

Types of Sentences

1. Assertive (Statement)

She is happy

2. Interrogative (Question)

Are you ready?

3. Imperative (Order/Request)

Open the door

4. Exclamatory (Emotion)

What a beautiful day!

Practice Section

Exercise 1: Identify Vowels and Consonants

Write vowels in each word:

cat
pen
book
sun

Exercise 2: Identify Subject and Predicate

The girl sings
My father works hard
Birds fly in the sky
