English Grammar Rules

2022-08-01 14:19:55 #Rule-32

*Usage Note: “Singular they”
English does not have a way of identifying a single person with a pronoun if his or her gender is not known, so sometimes the third-person plural forms (they, them, etc.) are used as a gender-neutral alternative to the third-person feminine/masculine forms. This is sometimes called “singular they.”

For example:
• “You shouldn’t judge someone until you know what they are really like.”

• “If anyone needs extra help with their studies, they should feel free to see me after class.”

While it is still considered incorrect by some writers and writing guides, especially in American English, “singular they” is gradually becoming accepted as the norm, especially in instances with indefinite pronouns that sound plural but are grammatically singular (like anyone in the example above).

Plural
When a noun is plural, we use the same third-person pronouns for people, places, animals, and things: they, them, and theirs*. For example:

• “The parade floats are spectacular! I love watching them go down the street.”

• “Bill and Samantha told me they were coming over later.”

• “Make sure the children know which bags are theirs.”

Grammar with countable nouns
When we use countable nouns, certain elements in a sentence will change depending on whether the noun is singular or plural.

Third-person singular vs. third-person
plural pronouns

If a countable noun is being represented by a third-person pronoun, we must take care to use the correct singular or plural form.

Singular
When a noun is singular and names a person (or, sometimes, a pet) whose gender is known, then we use the third-person singular he, him, or his (masculine) or she, her, or hers (feminine). For example:

• “The man left early, so I didn’t get a chance to talk to him.” (Man is singular, so it takes the third-person singular pronoun him.)

• “The president has many things that she wants to accomplish in office.” (President is singular, so it takes the third-person singular pronoun she.)

• “We taught our dog to know which bed is his.” (Dog is singular, so it takes the third person singular pronoun his.)

If the noun names a singular place, thing, or non-domestic animal, then we must use the third person neuter pronoun it:

• “I hate this computer because it is so slow!”

• “The cow lowed softly as it ate.”

• “Some people dislike this town, but I’ve always loved it.”

2022-06-18 22:39:42 #Rule-29 Concrete vs. Abstract Countable Nouns

Both concrete and abstract nouns can be countable. Concrete nouns name people, places, or things that are tangible—they can be seen or touched. Abstract nouns, on the other hand, name intangible things, such as ideas, concepts, feelings, or attributes.

Concrete countable nouns
Concrete nouns are a bit easier to understand as being countable—after all, they are things that we can see and feel, and so we can usually count them. Consider the following, for example:
• cup
• ambulance
• phone
• person
• eel
• computer
• doctor
Each of these can be considered as an individual item or unit, which means that we are able to count them:

SINGULAR - PLURAL
a cup - two cups
an ambulance - several ambulances
a phone - 10 phones
a person - many people
an eel - three eels
a computer - a few computers
a doctor - some doctors



Abstract countable nouns
Even though abstract nouns are not tangible, many of them can still be counted as separable units. Like concrete nouns, they can take a or an or can be made plural. Consider these abstract nouns:
• conversation
• emergency
• reading
• aspiration
• emotion
• belief

Now let’s see how they can be counted:
SINGULAR - PLURAL
a conversation - two conversations
an emergency - several emergencies
a reading - 10 readings
an aspiration - many aspirations
an emotion - hundreds of emotions
a belief - certain beliefs

2022-06-08 15:06:37 #Rule-28 Countable Nouns

Definition
Countable nouns (also known as count nouns) are nouns that can be considered as individual, separable items, which means that we are able to count them with numbers—we can have one, two, five, 15, 100, and so on. We can also use them with the indefinite articles a and an (which signify a single person or thing) or in their plural forms.

Countable nouns contrast with uncountable nouns (also known as non-count or mass nouns), which cannot be separated and counted as individual units or elements. Uncountable nouns cannot take an indefinite article, nor can they be made plural.
