In this article we are going to lay out the steps for getting started with learning English.
English language despite its tricky usages, has a good and well defined rules. Parts of speech, for example is a good structural introduction of this language.
having a clear road map for learning English language can help us avoid confusion and make effective progress.
In grammar term, the word "speech" refers to all set of words or sentences that we make when we talk, and this "speech" is made up of some components that are called "Parts of speech". Generally, there are nine parts for our speech. each part is a word or set of words that is put into a category based on its syntactic functions in the sentence.
Adjectives play a very important role in our daily English speaking, such that without them we cannot express our opinions or introduce something to others. when we talk about something we most probably describe or introduce it, so whether we talk about color, size, material or about quality and quantity, none of these can happen without the help of adjectives.
A big part of our daily English conversations is in Present Continues Tense and likewise the most important questions are asked using Wh-questions. the use of Present continues tense along with Wh-questions helps us form our most important daily questions.

conjunctions connect two words, clauses or sentences. they help us to combine two words or sentences and therefore to make more sense and meaning (e. g. a kind "and" beautiful girl) here the word "and" is a conjunction that has joined two words. in this lesson you will learn more about conjunction along with examples and grammar exercise...
Tense is the form of the verb which shows when an action has happened. There no action or work takes place except within a time; whether it be present, past or future. present continues tense is used to show an ongoing action. in this lesson you will learn all about "tense" and "present continues tense" and their usages.
To show that something belongs to someone we use apostrophe s ('s) . we add ('s) after the owner's name and following that the name of the thing that we want to show possession of. for example: "Hashem's brother". in this example belonging of brother to Hashem is shown by ('s). learn more about apostrophe s in this lecture

We use definite article to tell the hearer that what we talk about is known to him. for example: "This is the cat we saw yesterday", in this sentence "the" is a definite article and indicates that the noun after it is somehow known to the hearer. whether the noun is mentioned before or it's unique or a general thing.
Preposition is a word or a group of words which links one thing to another. they show the relationship between two people or two things or even between people and things. for example where one is located in relation to the other or in what direction something is with regard to another thing.(e. g. The car is "next to" the tree)
When we talk about something it's either known to the hearer or unknown. so how do we indicate something is definite(know) or indefinite(unknown) to our hearer? the answer is, we use the articles. articles are words which are positioned before a noun and shows whether it's familiar to someone or not.
when we point to something we use demonstrative adjectives or pronouns. some of the most commonly used demonstrative adjectives and pronouns are "this & that" for singular and "these & those" for plural. in this lesson you will learn about demonstrative adjectives and pronouns and what are their difference with clear examples and ...

In English the form of the verb gets changed as per statement's tense. for most of the verbs this change happens based on some defined rules. while there are some verbs which don't follow those rules but instead they are conjugated irregularly. for example the verb "go" will change to "went" in the past and "gone" for the past participle. in this article we provide some of the most used irregular verbs with their meanings.
