Understanding and mastering English grammar can significantly enhance your ability to communicate clearly and effectively. In this guide, we explore five critical topics: the "Going to" structure, Wh-Questions, the Infinitive of Purpose, Making Suggestions, and Prepositions. Each section includes examples to help you practice and apply these concepts.
1. Going to
The "Going to" structure is used to express future plans or intentions and predictions based on present evidence.
Structure: Subject + am/is/are + going to + base verb
- I am going to visit my grandparents this weekend.
- Look at those clouds! It is going to rain.
- They are going to start a new project next month.
2. Wh-Questions
Wh-Questions begin with question words like "what," "where," "when," "why," "who," "whose," "which," and "how." They are used to ask for specific information.
- What: What are you doing tomorrow?
- Where: Where do you live?
- Why: Why is she upset?
3. Infinitive of Purpose
The infinitive of purpose is used to explain why something is done. It is formed by using "to" followed by the base verb.
- I went to the library to study.
- He called me to ask for help.
- They are saving money to travel.
4. Making Suggestions
Making suggestions involves proposing an idea or plan in a polite way. Common expressions include "let's," "why don't we," "how about," and "shall we."
- Let’s: Let’s go for a walk.
- Why don’t we: Why don’t we try that new restaurant?
- How about: How about watching a movie tonight?
5. Prepositions
Prepositions link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other parts of the sentence, indicating relationships such as time, place, direction, or cause.
- She left before noon.
