What if we talk about the real BASIC English Lesson here?

I think this is really why this site was built …and also why we are all here… except of course for those who only want fun and doesn't care about improving their english skill.

What if we talk about the real BASIC english lesson here? What are NOUNS? VERBS? ADVERBS? ADJECTIVES? CONJUNCTIONS? PRONOUNS? types of sentences?parts of speech? figure of speech? the hyperbole? simile?irony?idioms? passive or active sentence? subject or predicate? the tenses? singular? plural? Agreements? etc, etc…

Why not begin from the basics?

I suppose a simple explanation of at least one of these topics would be of big help to our fellow learners here…

yeah i can understand you too zeus but i'm just copying it from the reliable book or reliable english site… its also up to the readers to check it to any resources that they can have…. if you really want to learn, you have all the resources…. there's nobody who can endanger anybody who is very eager to learn the right things….

Reading lessons and posting it here will be of help not only to me but also to others…. that is only what i want… to be of help to others and at the same time help myself

 But it's ok for me too if you consider it to endanger other knowledge… then i must stop this now…

 Thanks anyway for your opinion.

To Mehmet and Rascalkid: Yours were nice try to share with us what you've learned about english grammar – usage and examples. 

Please continue to write and share with us about what you've learned/  That's what we purpose in joining the englishbaby.  For those that english as second language, we can learn from one another by sharing what we already learned and still learning. 

I expect more lessons like that here in Forum.  I hope others will take note of what you two – Rascalkid and Mehmet, will write here for us to learn.  And, please, share with us also the good sites you've visited and think valuable for us to visit, too.

Thank you very much, Mehmet and Rascalkid.

Thank you very much for your broad understanding Felice. I must tell you that i was almost dicouraged to write and share the things that i've learned because of what zeus said, but with your message, i'm encouraged again…and maybe Mehmet too will continue to share what he has learned.

Our objectives is very simple: To share what we have learned and that's it. And I think there's no danger for it. I hope other learners will also be generous to share what they have just learned and post it here. It's a two-way purpose, we learn & we help.

If somebody learned  what is VERB, then let him/her type this...."Today i've learned that verbs are action words…" simply like that. Then the person who typed it have her/him review for himself and at the same time can really remember what he just learned because he tried to post it here so that somebody would learn from it. It's an engram type of learning which means repetition of the lesson you want to learn using either this kinds of learning methods:reading, writing, reading again or saying/sharing…and finally it will be recorded to your mind.

Thanks again Felice, i hope you will also post some of your many english knowledge here so that we can also learn from you…especially the common mistakes we commit with this language

5) All ready means "completely ready".For example: "Are you all ready for the test?" Alreadyis an adverb that means before the present time or earlier than the time expected.For example: "I asked him to come to the cinema but he'd already seen the film."
Or

6) All together (adv) means "together in a single group."For example: The waiter asked if we were all together. Altogether (adv) means "completely" or "in total ". For example: She wrote less and less often, and eventually she stopped altogether.

To Rascalkid:  correction; second paragraph, second sentence:  You wrote: I think there's no danger for it.  Instead, write like this:  I think there's no danger in doing so. 

To Mehmet:  Surely, you got a good site where you learned those mistakes and confusing words.  Please continue to do so.  You're doing a great job for others to learn.  I just hope other will really take note of what you are writing or sharing here.  In fact, I will copy your portion here and give it to the pupils who regularly asking me to help them with their homeworks.

Please Mehmet, don't disappear from this Forum, okay?  You've got very valuable english lessons to share here.  I'll look forward to reading and learning more from you.
