Hi everyone! Abbe here from MosaLinga.
Welcome to our new series of English Grammar Hacks.
Wait. I know what you're thinking: "English grammar = hard, not fun".
But before you leave me, give me a chance to explain why English grammar is easy
and definitely worth learning.
English has some weird pronunciation rules but the grammar aspect of the
language is actually much easier. All you need is a positive attitude towards
grammar and then awareness of what makes English grammar easy compared to other languages.
First of all: in English you generally
just need to add an "S" to the end of a word to get its plural form.
1 cat, 2 cats. 1 friend, 4 friends.
Ok. I know that there are some irregular plurals
like "women" and "children" but I promise there aren't too many.
Second: English has no grammatical genders.
This is a big one because you don't have to worry about
whether objects like tables or bottles are masculine or feminine.
That doesn't even make much sense anyway. There are just objects.
This aspect makes English
easier than a lot of languages like French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian
which distinguish between masculine and feminine and German which has three genders.
This leads into my next point which is that there is no adjective
agreement either. This means that if there is one new car or a million new
cars, the word "new" will always be written the same way.
Cases are variations of words
depending on their functions in sentences.
In Russian for example there are six different cases and four in German.
This means that when you learn a new word in these languages,
you need to memorize several variations
to be able to use them in different situations. No need for that in English!
When you learn a word in English your job is done.
You only have one form.
The last thing I want to talk about today is how simple
it is to conjugate verbs in English. It's true that there are a couple of
different tenses you need to memorize but they're relatively simple compared
to other languages. There are usually just one or two variations you need to
memorize to be able to express your ideas.
In English you only need two forms for the present.
I'll give you an example: I listen, you listen, we listen, they listen.
Or he or she listens. Adding an "S" for a few persons does the trick in most cases.
Do you want to talk about the future? Then you just need the word "will"
before the infinitive form of the verb. "I will listen".
Need to talk about something in the past?
Just add -ed to the end. For our example "listen" this works for all forms.
I listened, you listened, he or she listened, they listened, we listened.
Of course there are some common irregular verbs
but in an upcoming video I'll give you a language
hack to memorize those in no time.
Now I hope I've convinced you that compared to many languages,
probably even including your native language, English grammar is easy.
