Grammar
Grammar is the way that written and verbal words are arranged in order from sequence.  This allows communication between human beings.  We believe grammar should be exciting, and is extremely important. Effective grammar will help you communicate more clearly in written and verbal form with other human beings.  It can also help you be a better listener, understand, and be able to clarify other people’s communication.
The better you understand grammar, the more prescise you can be with your message.  It is a study of understanding others, and in turn being understood yourself.

Overview
Communication
Communication is the process of communicating through our senses: sight, sound, taste, touch and smell to impart a message.  In this section we will focus on the aspect of verbal communication which is communicated through sound, and written communication which people read.  Language is a set of words, and how they are put together by a culture or group.  If you can’t understand the communication you’ce recieved, ineffective communication has taken place.  Communication takes place in a variety of settings.
  People use communication as a means of expressing, or conveying feelings, thoughts.

> Written Communication
> Verbal Communication
The form of verbal communication is called speech, which we use with language.
Language
>> Words
Words are basically made up sounds that are agreed upon universally by speakers of that language to communicate about objects.  People some times needed to write down their communication, rather than just verbally.  It is believed this was originally done through symbols, hieroglyphs or pictures.

Eventually the Alphabet evolved.  The alphabet is a collection of a finitie, or fixed quanitity of letters that allows people to construct words from those letters.
Words serve different purposes.  The categories that these words are assigned to are called “parts of speech”.
>> Sentences
A sentence is a group of word that together creates a complete message.  A sentence without a clear message could be dscribed as an ” incomplete sentence”.   For a sentence to be complete it is considered to have a subject, and a verb.

> Verbs and person

> Verbs tense
Verbs can express time by changing the form of the verb.  Tense comes from the Latin word meaning “time”.
Verbs come in three tenses.  Past tense is used to describe things that have already happened.  Present tense is used to describe things happening now, or that are on going.  Future tense is used to describe things that haven’t happened yet, or are presupposed or assumed to happen.
Understanding tense allows you to be more prescise with time.

The present tense is used to say something is happening in the now, or it is on going.
>> Future tense
This is used to say something will exist, or happen in the future.

Trans means ” across” in Latin.  Transitive means going across to something.  It shows the action going out from someone, to something or someone else.
Examples: The rabbit is running.   Sally is ringing the verb.

>> Intransative verb
This is when the subject of the sentence does not go across to something else.  This is verb that has an object, not getting acted upon by a subject.
Example:  The bell rings
