1. What are the eight parts of speech in English?

   Noun, Pronoun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection.

2. What is a noun, and what are its main types?

   A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Main types: proper, common, collective, abstract, concrete, countable, and uncountable.

3. What is the difference between an adjective and an adverb?

   An adjective modifies a noun or pronoun (e.g., 'a quick runner'); an adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb (e.g., 'runs quickly').

4. What is a conjunction, and name the three types.

   A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses. Types: coordinating (and, but, or), subordinating (because, although, if), and correlative (either...or, neither...nor).

5. What is an interjection? Give two examples.

   An interjection is a word expressing sudden emotion, standing apart grammatically. Examples: 'Wow!', 'Alas!'.

6. What are the three main tenses, and how many forms does each have?

   Present, Past, and Future. Each has four forms: Simple, Continuous (Progressive), Perfect, and Perfect Continuous — twelve tenses in total.

7. What is the structure of the Present Perfect tense?

   Subject + has/have + past participle (V3). Example: 'She has finished the work.'

8. What is the structure of the Past Continuous tense?

   Subject + was/were + verb-ing. Example: 'They were playing cricket.'

9. What is the structure of the Future Perfect tense?

   Subject + will have + past participle (V3). Example: 'I will have completed the course by June.'

10. When is the Simple Present tense used?

    For habitual actions, universal truths, and permanent situations. Example: 'The sun rises in the east.'

11. What is the structure of the Present Perfect Continuous tense?

    Subject + has/have + been + verb-ing. Example: 'He has been studying for two hours.'

12. What is the basic rule of subject-verb agreement?

    A singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. Example: 'He writes' vs. 'They write.'

13. In subject-verb agreement, what verb form do two subjects joined by 'and' take?

    Usually a plural verb. Example: 'Ali and Sara are friends.' (Exception: when they refer to one idea/person, e.g., 'Bread and butter is my breakfast.')

14. With subjects joined by 'either...or' or 'neither...nor', which subject decides the verb?

    The verb agrees with the subject nearer to it. Example: 'Neither the boys nor the teacher was present.'

15. What verb form do 'each', 'every', 'everyone', and 'nobody' take?

    A singular verb. Example: 'Everyone has arrived.' / 'Each of the students is ready.'

16. Do collective nouns like 'team' or 'committee' take singular or plural verbs?

    Singular when acting as one unit ('The team is winning'); plural when members act individually ('The team are arguing among themselves').

17. What is a preposition? Give three examples.

    A word that shows the relationship of a noun/pronoun to another word, usually indicating place, time, or direction. Examples: in, on, at, by, under, between.

18. What is the difference between 'in', 'on', and 'at' for time?

    'At' for precise times (at 5 PM), 'on' for days/dates (on Monday), 'in' for months, years, and longer periods (in June, in 2026).
