Additional Examples: He often visits his grandmother. They always arrive on time. The clock ticks loudly. She daily practices the piano. We sometimes go for a walk. The dog barks at strangers. Rule 4: When forming negative or interrogative sentences in the present tense, use the auxiliary verb "do" (do, does, did) along with the base form of the main verb. Example: Sumita does not go to school. Additional Examples: He doesn't like spicy food. Did they complete their homework? She does her exercises every morning. Why do you always complain? The cat doesn't drink milk. Did you see that movie last night? Rule 5: When forming questions using WH-words (what, when, where, who, which, whose, why, how), use the auxiliary verb "do" (do, does, did) along with the base form of the main verb. Example: Why does Samira look so gloomy? Additional Examples: Where do they live? Who did you meet at the party? How does he always find his way home? What do you want for dinner? When did the event take place? Why does she always wear a hat? Rule 6: In sentences describing actions happening at the moment or in the present, use the present continuous tense, which consists of the base verb with "-ing" added to it.

The chef is preparing a delicious meal. We are waiting for the bus. The birds are chirping in the trees. Rule 7: In sentences where the subject has "have" or "has" as the auxiliary verb, use the past participle form of the main verb to create the present perfect tense. Example: They have gone to Dhaka. Additional Examples: She has finished her work. We have visited that museum before. Have you seen this movie? He has eaten breakfast already. They have won several awards. I have never been to Paris. Rule 8: Use the present perfect tense when describing actions that occurred just, just now, already, recently, lately, ever, or yet. Example: Rabeya has taken her dinner just now. Additional Examples: I have already finished my homework. She has recently visited her grandparents. Have you ever traveled to Europe? They have just arrived at the airport. He has yet to receive the report. We have recently redecorated our living room.

Additional Examples: She visited the museum last week. They completed the project last month. He traveled to London two years ago. We watched a movie yesterday evening. She bought a new car last year. They graduated from college in 2010. Rule 10: Use the past indefinite tense when expressing actions that occurred since a specific time or event in the past. Example: Many years have passed since I visited India. Additional Examples: It's been a long time since I met her. She hasn't called me since last Friday. He hasn't eaten since breakfast. It's been ages since I saw that movie. It's been years since I visited my hometown. I haven't heard from him since our last meeting. Rule 11: Use the past perfect tense when describing actions that happened before a specific time or event in the past. Example: It was twenty years since the author first met his lady guest. Additional Examples: She had already left when I arrived. By the time they reached the station, the train had left. He had finished his homework before going out. I had never seen such a beautiful sunset before. They had already eaten dinner when we arrived. She had received the letter before leaving for vacation. Rule 12: Use the past perfect tense with "No sooner... than," "Scarcely... when," or "Hardly... when" to indicate that one action happened immediately after another action in the past. Example: No sooner had the rain stopped than they left the shelter. Additional Examples: Scarcely had he reached the stadium when it rained. Hardly had he arrived when the meeting started. No sooner had she finished her speech than they applauded. Scarcely had they started the game when it began to rain. Hardly had I left the house when I realized I forgot my keys. No sooner had the sun set than the stars appeared in the sky. Rule 13: Use the past perfect tense after "after" and "before" to indicate the sequence of two past actions. Example: The doctor had come before the patient died. Additional Examples: They had already eaten before I arrived. He had completed the project after she had left. She had gone to bed before her parents came home. They had met each other after they had moved to the city. The train had left before they reached the station. She had finished her work after he had gone to lunch. Rule 14: Use the past perfect tense when one action in the past had already occurred before another action in the past. Example: The doctor had come before the patient died. Additional Examples: She had already left before I arrived at the party. They had finished their meal before the waiter brought the bill. He had taken a shower before going to bed. I had already paid the bills before the electricity was restored. She had prepared breakfast before her family woke up. They had completed the project before the deadline. Rule 15: Use the present participle (verb + -ing) form of the verb or the bare infinitive (base form) after certain verbs in a sentence.

I watched them playing soccer in the park. She observed him reading a book in the library. We saw the plane flying overhead. Rule 16: Use "had rather," "had sooner," "had better," "would rather," "would better," "must," "let," and "need" followed by the base form of the verb (bare infinitive). Example: I had better go home by this time. Rule 17: Use "Would that" followed by a subject and the present form of the verb when expressing a wish or desire.

Rule 20: Use certain verbs and phrases like "cannot help," "could not help," "with a view to," "look forward to," "would you mind," "used to," "past," "mind," and "worth" followed by the verb in its -ing form. Examples: I go to the market with a view to seeing people. I am looking forward to standing first in the class. Rule 21: Use "each," "every," "one of," "either," and "neither" followed by a singular form of the verb. Examples: Every mother loves her child. One of the students is very brilliant. Rule 22: Use "as if" or "as though" followed by "were" when describing a situation that is contrary to reality. Example: He speaks as if he were the owner of the firm. Rule 23: Modal auxiliary verbs like "can," "could," "may," "might," "shall," "should," "will," and "would" are followed by the base form of the verb. Example: He can do the sum. Rule 24: In indirect speech, the reporting verb in the past tense is followed by the past tense of the verb in the reported speech. Example: He said that he went to Dhaka yesterday. Rule 25: When forming the passive voice, use the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "to be" (am, is, are, was, were, shall be, will be) followed by the past participle of the verb. Example: The boy is sent to school. Rule 26: Use the structure "If + Subject + were" in the if-clause and "might/would/could + verb" in the principal clause when expressing a hypothetical situation. Example: If I were a bird, I would fly to you soon. Rule 27: Use the structure "If + Present Indefinite Tense" in the if-clause and "will + base form of the verb" in the principal clause to express a future consequence. Example: If you walk slowly, you will miss the train. Rule 28: Use the if-clause with "If + Past Indefinite Tense" and "could, would, might" in the principal clause when expressing a past possibility. Example: If she requested, I would go. Rule 29: Use the if-clause with "If + Past Perfect Tense" and "would have/could have/might have" in the principal clause to express a past hypothetical situation. Example: If the thief had seen the policeman, he would have run away. Rule 30: Use the perfect conditional structure "Had + Subject + Past Participle" in the if-clause and "would have/could have/might have + past participle" in the principal clause to express a past unreal condition. Example: Had I the wings of a dove, how soon I would have met you again. Rule 31: Use "since" and "for" followed by a specific time duration to form sentences in the Present Perfect Continuous Tense. Example: It has been raining for two hours. Rule 32: Use plural verbs after adjectives that start with "The." Example: The rich are not always happy. Rule 33: Use the Future Indefinite Tense after time expressions like "tomorrow," "next day," "latter," etc. Example: The next day will be a holiday. Rule 34: Use the past participle form of the verb after verbs like "have," "get," "want," etc., when followed by an objective (noun/pronoun). Example: I get my hair dressed. Rule 35: In a compound sentence, use the past tense in both clauses. Example: He came and visited me. Rule 36: In a complex sentence, use the past tense in both the main and subordinate clauses. Example: I knew it was expensive. Rule 37: Use a plural verb when the subject of a sentence with "there" is plural. Example: There are ten boys. Rule 38: Use a singular verb when a collective noun (like "twenty miles") refers to a single unit. Example: Twenty miles is not a long distance. Rule 39: "Beside" means "at the side of" or "next to," while "besides" means "as well as" or "in addition to." Examples: There is a tree beside the river. He has none to help him besides you. Rule 40: Use "between" when referring to two items or people and "among" when referring to more than two items or people. Examples: He divided his money between his wife and his daughter. Divide the mangoes among the boys. Rule 41: Use "since" with a point of time (e.g., since Sunday) and "for" with a period of time (e.g., for a week). When using "since," the tense in the main clause should match with "since," and when using "for," use the past tense. Examples: It has been raining since Sunday last. He begins English from today. I have not seen him for a week. Rule 42: Use plural verbs after subjects connected by "and." If the subject consists of "and" followed by a singular noun, use "no" or "not" to make the subject negative, and use a singular verb. Examples: Rahim and Karim are two brothers. Only girls and no boy are guilty. Rule 43: Use singular verbs when the subject consists of a singular noun followed by "and" and another singular noun. Examples: The Chairman and Headmaster of the school is coming. Bread and butter is my favorite food. Rule 44: Indefinite subjects such as "any one," "either," "neither," "anything," "each," "everyone," "everything," "no one," "nothing," "whatever," and "whoever" take singular verbs. When referring to "all," "any," or "some," use plural verbs. Examples: The first two problems are very difficult, but the rest are easy. Either of these buses goes past the university. Every pupil has a book. Each boy was wicked. Rule 45: Use singular verbs when the subject consists of "each" or "every" followed by "and" and another singular noun. Examples: Each boy and each girl was present in the prize-giving ceremony. Every man, woman, and child was affected by the recent flood. Rule 46: When the subject consists of a singular subject followed by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," use singular verbs. Examples: Rahim or Karim has been present in the meeting. Either Rahim or Karim was present in the meeting. Neither Rahim nor Karim is guilty. Rule 47: When the subject consists of a singular subject followed by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," and the subject contains both singular and plural elements, use a plural verb. Examples: Nice or her friends have insulted the gentleman. Neither Fahmida nor her colleagues were hurt. Rule 48: When the subject contains different persons (e.g., first person, second person) connected by "or," "nor," "either...or," or "neither...nor," use the verb form that matches the first person mentioned. Examples: Either he or I have done this. Neither you nor he is to blame. Either you or he or I shall go to the market. Rule 49: When subjects consist of a combination of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person (e.g., you, he, and I), use a plural verb form. The formula "231 (2nd 3rd 1st)" indicates the order of persons in the subject. In cases where the formula is "123 (1st 2nd 3rd)," use the verb in its plural form. Examples: You, he, and I are close friends. I, you, and he are guilty. Rule 50: When dealing with collective nouns, use singular verbs. However, when referring to groups within a collective noun, use plural verbs. Collective nouns refer to groups as a single entity, while plural verbs emphasize the individual members within the group. Examples: The jury consists of five persons. The jury were divided in their opinions. The committee has agreed to take a unanimous decision. The committee are divided in respect of details. Rule 51: Some nouns remain the same in both singular and plural forms, such as "deer," "sheep," "piece," "public," "dozen," "score," "thousand," etc. Examples: I have five deer (not deers). I have five thousand (not thousands) taka. Rule 52: Collective and group nouns can take both singular and plural verbs. If the emphasis is on the group acting as one entity, use a singular verb. If the focus is on the individual members within the group, use a plural verb. Examples: The police are watching the house. The cattle are grazing in the field. Rule 53: Some nouns like "wages," "news," "physics," "politics," "gallows," etc., always take singular verbs. Examples: Physics is my favorite subject. Ill-news runs apace. The wages of sin is true. Rule 54: When you have a subject that is a noun followed by "but" and then another noun, use a singular verb. However, if you have "more than one" followed by a singular noun, use a singular verb. If you have "more than two" or "more than three" followed by a plural noun, use a plural verb. Examples: More than one boy is guilty. More than five scholars have participated in the writing ceremony. Rule 55: When using phrases like "as well as," "with," and "together with," the verb should agree with the subject that comes before them, which is typically the singular noun. If the subject before these phrases is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject before these phrases is plural, the verb should be plural. Examples: The Chairman with all the members of his council was present in the meeting. Rahim, together with some of his bosom friends, has come here. Sapon, as well as Ripon, deserves praise. Rule 56: When using correlative conjunctions like "Not only... but also," the verb should agree with the subject that follows "not only." If that subject is singular, the verb should be singular; if it's plural, the verb should be plural. Examples: Not only Rahim but also his friends are watching the television. The objective is not only to identify the problem but also to solve it. Rule 57: When using relative pronouns, the verb should agree with the antecedent (the noun to which the relative pronoun refers) in terms of number and person. Examples: It is I who am to blame. You who are my friend should stand by me. This is the boy who is my friend. Rule 58: When using pronouns like "anybody," "everybody," "anyone," "everyone," and "each," they are considered singular and should take singular pronouns like "his" or "her." Examples: Anybody can do this if he likes. Everyone likes to have his way. Each of the boys will do his duty. One should do one's duty. Rule 59: When using comparative structures with "than" or "as," the case of the pronoun should match the case of the pronoun in the other part of the comparison, and the verb should agree accordingly. Examples: She is smaller than I (am). I like you better than he (likes you). Rule 60: When dealing with nouns preceded by "many a" or "many an," use a singular noun form, and the verb should also be in the singular form. When using "a great many," "a good many," or "too many," use the plural form of the noun and the verb in its plural form. Examples: Many a boy is dull of hearing. Many an orphan was begging from door to door. A great many boys were absent from the class. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Rule 61: Some nouns are always plural in form but may refer to a single object or concept. For these nouns, use a plural verb form. Examples: The shirts need (not needs) cleaning. Smallpox has (not have) broken out there. Your new glasses are (not is) very nice. Here are some examples of always plural nouns: Pair nouns: bellows, scissors, glasses, spectacles Articles of dress: trousers, drawers, breeches, shorts Names of diseases: mumps (but not smallpox, measles) Names of games: billiards Other nouns: ashes, alms, assets, annals, fetters, proceeds, aborigines, thanks, tidings, vegetables, belongings, goods, clothes, congratulations, earnings, particulars, premises, riches, surroundings, etc. Rule 62: Some nouns are always singular in form, even though they may refer to multiple objects or concepts. For these nouns, use a singular verb form. Examples: He gave me much abuse (not abuses) for no fault. My house is full of new furniture (not furniture’s). He gave me all the information (not information’s). Here are some examples of always singular in form nouns: abuse, alphabet, furniture, information, issue, offspring, poetry, scenery Rule 63: When using "before," "after," and "when" in sentences, "before" and "when" are used with past perfect tense, while "after" is used with simple past tense. Examples: The patient died after the doctor had come. The patient had died before the doctor came. I had done the job when the manager came. Rule 64: When using "hardly" and "scarcely," these words are followed by "had" and indicate that an event occurred immediately after another event. Examples: Hardly had we reached the station when the train left. Scarcely had we started when it began to rain. Rule 65: The definite article "the" is used before nation and race (RvwZ). Additionally, "the" is used with road, street, and avenue. However, "the" is not used with English (as a language). Examples: The English are intelligent and industrious. English is an international language. I have a fine piano. The shirt is bought from KDA Avenue. He was born on Larkana Road. Rule 66: "Across" and "through" have different meanings: "Across" typically suggests movement from one side to another, often implying a surface or boundary that is crossed. Example: He walked across (not through) the ice. "Through" suggests movement within or along a medium or space, often indicating penetration or passage from one end to another. Example: He drove through (not across) several towns. Rule 67: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns. Ensure proper use of adverbs and adjectives to maintain correct sentence structure. Examples: We will have to think quickly (not quick). I don’t remember him very well (not good). It is terribly (not terrible) cold today. The curry is very badly (not bad) cooked. They are playing unusually (not usual) fast. Rule 68: "Affect" is a verb that means to influence or produce a change in something, typically an action or feeling. "Effect" is a noun that refers to the result or outcome of an action. Examples: The war seriously affected petrol prices. The war had a serious effect on petrol prices. Rule 69: "Ago" is used to indicate a specific time in the past, counting back from the present. "Before" is used with past perfect tense to indicate a time before another past event. Examples: I met that woman in Dhaka three years ago (not before). When I was talking, I found out that I had been at school with her husband ten years before (not ago). Rule 70: "Along" is used as a preposition to describe movement alongside something, such as a road, river, corridor, or line. "Through" indicates movement within or penetration through something.
