Course Content
Module 1 – Parts of Speech System
In this module, you will build the foundation of all English grammar: understanding how words function inside sentences. Every sentence is built from word classes. If you can identify how words behave — not just what they mean — you gain structural control over language. This module introduces the full parts-of-speech system in a clear, logical sequence. You will learn how nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections operate within sentence structure. By the end of this module, you will be able to: Identify and classify all major word classes Distinguish between form and function Recognize how word types interact in sentences Avoid common foundational grammar mistakes

Module 2 – Articles and Determiners
In this module, you will develop precise control over articles and determiners — small words that carry significant meaning. Although articles like a, an, and the seem simple, they are among the most common sources of grammatical error in both spoken and written English. This module builds a systematic understanding of: Definite and indefinite reference Zero article usage Quantifiers Distributives Demonstratives Possessive determiners Determiner order By the end of this module, you will be able to: Use articles accurately in academic contexts Distinguish between specific and general reference Apply quantifiers correctly with countable and uncountable nouns Avoid high-frequency article errors Maintain structural precision in noun phrases

2. Form Structure
A. Affirmative

Subject + has/have + been + verb-ing

Examples:

She has been working on the project.

B. Negative

Subject + has/have + not + been + verb-ing

She has not been studying.
They have not been conducting research.

C. Questions

Has/Have + subject + been + verb-ing?

Have they been working all day?
Has she been preparing for the exam?

3. Main Uses

7. Stative Verbs Restriction

Stative verbs usually do NOT appear in continuous form.

know, believe, understand, own, belong
