In a sentence we cannot use a noun many times. We can use pronouns. Pronouns are used in place of nouns.
Personal pronouns- Some pronouns are used for persons. For example: She, he, they, we, etc.
Demonstrative pronouns- Some pronouns are used to point out to objects. For example:
This, that, these, those, etc.
Let us try to understand pronouns better with the help of the following example.
Verb
A verb is a word which tells about an action. A verb tells us what a person, animal, or a thing does. Verbs are very important. We cannot make sentences without verbs.
Let us read the following story to understand verbs better.
One fine morning, Ella was going to school. She saw a beautiful butterfly. Ella chased the butterfly but it flew away. She became sad. In the afternoon, Ella came back home.
She looked out of the window and saw the butterfly again. Ella became very happy
The words: going, saw, chased, flew, became, came, looked, and saw are verbs.
Articles
Articles tell us about nouns. There are three articles in English: a, an, and the.
1. A- The article 'a' is used with nouns which are one in number and begin with a consonant. For example: a book, a pencil, a dog, etc.
2. An- The article 'an' is used with nouns which are one in number and begin with a vowel. For example: an aeroplane, an apple, an egg, etc.
The articles ?a? and 'an' are used with countable nouns.
3. The- The article 'the' is used with things which are uncountable. For example: the water, the air, the juice, etc. It is also used with particular things. For example: the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, the moon, the sun, etc. 'The' is also used when we talk about something again. For example: George bought an apple. George ate the apple.
Singular/Plural
A noun that denotes one person, place, animal, or thing is called singular noun.
For example: doctor, fan, glass, box, bottle, etc.
A noun that denotes more than one person place animal, or thing is called plural noun.
For example: balls, pens, books, toffees, keys, etc.
However, some nouns exist only in plural forms.
For example: jeans, scissors, tongs, etc.
