Basic English Grammar refers to the fundamental ways in which English words are used, classified, and structured to form coherent written or spoken communication.
This video teaching series breaks the topic into three fundamental elements: Parts of Speech, Inflection, and Syntax. Each of these is a discrete, individual part, but they are all intrinsically linked together in meaning.

Chapter 1. Parts of Speech
In this chapter, we will look at the basic components of English—words. The parts of speech are categories to which different words are assigned, based on their meaning, structure, and function in a sentence.
We’ll examine in great detail the seven main parts of speech—nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions—as well as other categories of words that don’t easily fit into the main ones, such as particles, determiners, and gerunds.
By understanding the parts of speech, we can better comprehend how (and why) we structure words together to form sentences.
