What is an adverb, and how does it function in a sentence?
An adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It often tells us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. For example, in "She ran quickly," "quickly" modifies the verb "ran."

What is the difference between a preposition and a conjunction?
A preposition shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence, often indicating location, time, or direction. A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses, such as "and," "but," or "because."
What is the function of a clause in a sentence?
A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb. It can function as a complete sentence (independent clause) or as part of a larger sentence (dependent clause).
What are some common mistakes to avoid when writing?
Common mistakes include run-on sentences, incorrect punctuation, subject-verb agreement errors, using double negatives, and improper word choice or spelling.
Identify the noun, pronoun, and verb in the following sentence: "She gave him a gift."
- Noun: gift
- Pronoun: She, him
- Verb: gave
What is the subject of the sentence "The dog barked loudly"?
The subject of the sentence is "The dog," as it is the noun performing the action of barking.
What is the object in the sentence "She read the book"?
The object of the sentence is "the book," as it is the noun receiving the action of being read.
What is a compound sentence, and how is it formed?
A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses (complete sentences) using a conjunction (e.g., "and," "but," "or") or a semicolon. For example, "I wanted to go to the park, but it was raining."
What is a complex sentence, and how is it different from a simple sentence?
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, which cannot stand alone. For example, "Although it was raining, we went to the park." A simple sentence has just one independent clause with a subject and verb.
How does sentence structure affect clarity and meaning?
Sentence structure determines how ideas are organised and communicated. Clear and varied sentence structures help the reader follow the logic and flow of ideas, while incorrect or awkward structures can confuse the reader and obscure meaning.
