📖 Section 1: Grammar Foundations
1. Singular and Plural
Explanation:
Singular means one. Plural means more than one. In English, we change the form of a word to
show if we’re talking about one thing or many. Most plurals are made by adding -s or -es, but
some words change completely (called irregular plurals).
✅ Tip: Learn irregular plurals by heart.
⚠️ Mistake: Adding s to already plural words (childrens).

, 2–3. Adjectives + Degrees of Comparison
Explanation:
Adjectives describe nouns (e.g., tall boy). When comparing things, we use degrees of
comparison:
● Positive describes one thing.
● Comparative compares two things.
● Superlative compares three or more.
✅ Tip: Use more for longer adjectives (more beautiful).
⚠️ Mistake: Saying more taller instead of taller.

4. Tenses: Present, Past, Future
Explanation:
Tenses show when something happens.
● Present tense is for things happening now or always.
● Past tense is for things that already happened.
● Future tense is for things that will happen later.
✅ Tip: Use time words (yesterday, tomorrow) to guide tense.
⚠️ Mistake: Mixing tenses in one sentence.
