🔤 Grammar
1. Nouns and verbs - Noun and verb agreement
Explanation: In English, nouns and verbs must agree in number (singular or plural) and tense. For example, "The cat jumps" is correct, but "The cat jump" is incorrect.
Example: In the transcript, "XML is a markup language used for storing and transporting data." The verb "is" agrees with the singular noun "XML".
2. Adjectives - Order of adjectives
Explanation: When using multiple adjectives to describe a noun, there is a specific order in which they should appear. The order is: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose.
Example: In the transcript, "a markup language" - "markup" is an opinion, so it comes before "language" which is the purpose.
3. Prepositions - Using "in" and "on"
Explanation: In English, "in" and "on" are commonly used prepositions to indicate location. "In" is used for something contained within a space, while "on" is used for something resting on top of a surface.
Example: In the transcript, "in an XML document" - "XML document" is contained within the space of "an" so "in" is used.
4. Present simple tense - Use for general truths and habits
Explanation: The present simple tense is used to talk about things that are generally true or habitual actions.
Example: In the transcript, "XML is a markup language used for storing and transporting data." This is a general truth about XML.
5. Past simple tense - Use for past events or completed actions
Explanation: The past simple tense is used to talk about actions or events that happened in the past.
Example: In the transcript, "XML was created in the late 1990s." This is a past event.
Explanation: In English, nouns and verbs must agree in number (singular or plural) and tense. For example, "The cat jumps" is correct, but "The cat jump" is incorrect.
Example: In the transcript, "XML is a markup language used for storing and transporting data." The verb "is" agrees with the singular noun "XML".
