We use the progressive aspect to express that a verb action is ongoing, as in "I am eating.".
The difference between something being singular or plural is what we call 'grammatical number' in English. Here's how that idea applies to pronouns!
Reflexive pronouns, like "myself" or "herself," show when the object of a sentence is also the subject of a sentence. Examples include "I saw myself in the mirror" or "We bought ourselves a snack at the farmer's market." .
Relative adverbs connect chunks of sentences together. Find out how that works!
We use the relative pronouns to connect clauses together, like "the man *who sold the world* is coming over for dinner." David, KA's Grammar Fellow, explains.
Verb aspect allows a speaker to give even more information about when an event took place or is going to take place. The simple aspect of a verb is the same as its past, present, and future tenses, such as "I walked," "I walk," and "I will walk." .
Before we get any further with pronouns, let's cover what the difference between a subject and an object pronoun is, because the distinction between those two concepts will start coming up a good deal.
Subordinating conjunctions join two parts of complex sentences––independent clauses to dependent clauses. David explains how.
It's totally okay to end sentences with prepositions! David, Khan Academy's grammarian-in-chief, explains the history and the context behind this long-held grammar myth.
Much has been made of the distinction between "that" and "which" in English, but it can mostly be summed up in two points: 1. "That" doesn't work so well with commas. 2. "Which" doesn't work so well with people. David the Grammarian explains.
This is the first volume in a series of four books, first published in 1905. The series treats Arabic grammar in a highly technical way and was written as an abridgment of Wright's Grammar, a foundational text. The book is divided into three sections: introduction to the alphabet, parts of speech, and syntax.
Pronouns are words that can replace nouns, like the way "it" replaces "elephant" in "I looked at the elephant. It was grey.".
When do you use who, and when do you use whom? David, KA's grammarian, explains.
This page presents a very basic and brief description of some of the most fundamental aspects of Arabic grammar, including noun gender, word order, verb conjugation, and the most common pronouns. The page covers the parts of speech and provides examples in English and Arabic.

These are the most regular of the irregular verbs; while they don't behave exactly like regular verbs, like present tense "walk" become past tense "walked", they do maintain the "-ed" sound. It's just spelled differently.
When you want to talk about the future in English, you use the future tense.
Some irregular verbs have these strange -en endings that only show up in their past perfect/past participle forms. Let's take a look!
The past tense refers to event that have happened in the past. The basic way to form the past tense in English is to take the present tense of the word and add the suffix -ed. For example, to turn the verb "walk" into the past tense, add -ed to form "walked." .
