01. Parts of Speech
Word classes, their jobs in a sentence, examples and words that can change class by context.
Study Chapter 01 →A step-by-step grammar library for school learners, cadet college admission candidates, BCS and other competitive-exam candidates. Learn a rule, study examples, practise it, and then test your understanding.
Learning principle: memorising an answer is not the same as understanding a rule. Each chapter is intended to explain the pattern and show how to apply it in a new sentence.
The chapters are being developed and reviewed progressively. The roadmap below shows the planned sequence; a chapter is marked available only when its lesson page has been published.
Build the basic vocabulary and sentence knowledge needed for later rules.
