Everyone from beginners to novice understands the frustration of not getting that right word immediately either to complete a sentence or to use it in a speech. At times not being able to recall the right word becomes much more frustration. Vocabulary plays an important role in redefining one’s English. Most of the words in English language can be understood by the context in which it is applied. Sometimes people find it frustrating of not being able to recall the word which they knew before. When performing assignments or reading journals, textbooks, newspapers one comes across various words and not understanding their meaning could be frustrating. In English language a specific word can change the context of sentence entirely.

Grammar plays an important role in English. It is the basis through which English language has structure. Vocabulary and grammar should be built in accordance with the users goals.It should suffix ones reading and self expression and this has to be the primary goal for readers and writers worldwide. Write down the words which you have learnt in a separate notebook. In the notebook put up three columns one for the learnt word, next column for the meaning of the word and in the last column write down the sentence in relevant context. There might be words which you might know but do not know the context or frequency of using them. In regular usage people will discover new words and apply them in new context and sentences.

Grammar forms the basics of English. Parts of speech play an important role in English. There are different types of parts of speech. Verbs, Adjectives, nouns, adverbs, etc need to be understood before learning about English. These define the context and the relevancy of the word in the sentence.

A noun defines name, place, thing and idea. Examples of thing are game, television and desk. Verb will either be an action word or it forms the state of being word. State of being verb is when existence is shown and there will not be any action present in the word. State of being verbs can be linking verbs, just state of being verbs or helping verbs. Adjective defines or modifies a noun. An adverb can be described or known when it modifies a verb, an adverb or an adjective. An adverb answers the questions such as when, how, where and to what extent or degree. An adverb can be present anywhere in sentence.
