GRAMMAR RULES

FORMATION OF SENTENCES

First we must distinguish whether we will express an assertion, denial, or question:

AFFIRMATIVE: VERBAL + SUBJECT + PREDICATE TIME

NEGATIVE: Subject + verb tenses NEGATIVE + PREDICATE

Questioner: (interrogative pronoun) + TIME + SUBJECT + PREDICATE VERBAL

COMPARISON OF EQUALITY

Structure is used as ... as (such as), and NOT as .... as (not so as):

Peter is as clever as Susan


To end will form the predicate that completes the sense of a sentence.
ARTICLE

The article preceding the name we have two types:

Certain (when you define a thing known by the parties): the.
Indeterminate (if not a definite thing particular in professions and numerical): a, an.

NAME

Most of the names in English are common gender. Similarly we have unique names and plurals (adding s to the singular).

We should anticipate that if the word ends in sh, ch, ss, x, z (sounds similar to the s) is added, is to form the plural). If it ends in or add-es. If it ends in and replaced by i added is. Buddhas are finished in faith, is replaced by v and add-es:
