Sooner or later, you're going to need to tell someone how big, old, smooth, or hot something is. We're going to teach you how to use adjectives. These words will help you describe things and make your sentences more interesting.
In today’s 24/7 lifestyle, being able to tell the time and schedule your day is more important than ever. Learn about days of the week, the months, and the seasons, and then move those hands around the clock from morning to midnight.
These are the verbs that will make you want to pull your hair out. They are slippery, unpredictable, unreliable, and irregular. We’ll guide you through all of the twists and turns that irregular past tenses take. We came, we saw, we had a great time.
These are the verbs you love in the past tense. They are solid, predictable, reliable, and regular. To time travel into the past, it’s simple: Just add on an "-ed".
Want to learn the past tense? Then you need to start with the basics: was and were. You’ll use them time and time again, from “How was your day?” to “Where were you?” and much, much more.
One of the basic building blocks of learning any language, possessives give you the ability to say what belongs to you and what does not.
On. Under. Out. Behind. These little words are called prepositions, and they are used to describe the relationship—time, location, quantity, purpose, and condition—between a noun and some other word.
In this program, we're going to explain the easiest verb form: the present tense. This handy tense is the basis for simple conversations, from "I work in an office" to "I like hot dogs."
Your study of English begins with a look at the biggest, baddest verb of them all: "to be". We'll also explain pronouns—those little words like "we", "she", and "I" that take the place of nouns and keep your sentences nice and neat. Finally, we'll teach you all about "pointer" words so you can talk about that thing over there!
Who? What? Where? Learn the “pointer words” that take the place of a pointing finger, like “this”, “that”, and “there”.
Stretch your conversations and stretch your sentences by learning to use the present simple tense with an infinitive, and before you know it, you will “love to learn” about this handy grammar topic.

How to Use Articles 'a', 'an', and 'the' in English - Basic English Grammar lesson [9:30]
"English articles ("a", "an", and "the") come before nouns. They help to communicate which thing you're talking about, similar to words like "this", "my", and "all". And they're confusing to a lot of English learners.
Articles are really, really hard!
If your native language doesn't use articles, they can be really confusing. The truth is, you might never completely master articles. Most non-native English speakers don't, even know if they're quite fluent and have spoken English for a very long time. That's mostly OK. Mistakes with articles don't usually get in the way of communication. Your listeners or readers will usually be able to figure out what you mean by guessing whether you meant "a thing" or "the thing".
So while you should try to improve your skill with articles, you shouldn't worry much about them. This video lesson by Niharika will clear your basic doubts for using articles correctly."
