SECTION 1 - LECTURE 1 – INTRODUCTION
Welcome to I.E.G (Interactive English Grammar), The Effortless English Program (TEEP).
English Language is one of the most important languages in the world. How often do you
interact in English? Most people write, speak and read English every day.
Interactive English is for everyone. It is designed purposely for you. It will help you
speak, write, and use the English grammar effortlessly without thinking about it. It will
help you correct the commonest errors and avoid them during your English
conversations.
This is what you are going to learn interactively: the parts of speech, sentences, verbs
and tenses. The above makes English perfect.
Grammar describes how we put words together. Each word in a sentence belongs to a
particular set of class depending on how it is used. These classes are called “the parts of
speech”.
Sentences are made up of words. A sentence can be made up of any number of words.
For example:
 He came here.
 No
 I can sing
 Can you run?
A Phrase is a group of words that go together naturally. In this course we will learn the
following phrases:
 The Verb Phrase – Action Phrase

 The Noun Phrase – State of Being Phrase
 The Determiners and Adjectives – Specific Phrase
 The Adverbs and Adverbials – Modifier Phrase
 The Pronouns – “in place of” Phrase
 The Preposition – Position Phrase
I.E. is a unique program that will make you more fluent in English and can be translated
to other languages.
Be ready for this amazing course that will make you more interactive and fluent in
English effortlessly. Below is the course structure:

SECTION 1 - LECTURE 2 – THE VERB PHRASE-ACTION PHRASE
Welcome to Section 1-Lecture 2 of the I.E. course.
In this lecture you will learn the following:
 Types of main verbs

 Auxiliary verbs
 Modal verbs
Concept
A Verb is a doing word or an action word. A Phrase is just a group of words. Hence a
Verb Phrase is a group of “doing or action words”.
Example is: I am going.
 Types of main verbs

There are two types of main verbs, namely:
 Verbs of Action (VA): These verbs describe an action such as singing, driving,
laughing and others.
Example is:
Max is singing for the cat.
Activity 1
Write five sentences with “verb of action”
 Verbs of State (VS): These verbs are used to talk about states of being or states of
mind.
These include:
1. Verbs relating to the senses, e.g. feel, hear, see, smell, taste.
2. Verbs relating to emotions, e.g. adore, fear, hate, like, love, want, wish.
3. Verbs relating to mental activity, e.g. agree, believe, expect, forget, mean.
4. Verbs relating to possession e.g. belong, own, possess.
Example is:
I love the cat. – Verb (love) relating to emotions
Activity 2
Write five sentences with “verbs of state”
 Auxiliary Verbs
An auxiliary is a verb that is used together with a main verb to show time and
continuity. I call it the “helping verbs”. “Be and Have” are the primary auxiliaries.
“Be” is used to make present continuous and past continuous tenses.
Now let us conjugate the verb “to be” in the past and present tense
 I am  I was
 You are  You were
 He/she is  He/she was
 We are  We were
 You are  You were
 They are  They were
When the verb is conjugated this way, it can now be used as the helping verb to
construct you sentences effortlessly.
Examples are:
1. I am singing – Present continuous

2. Ebo was in the bus – Past continuous
“Have” is used to make present and past perfect tenses.
Let us conjugate the verb “Have”
 I have  I had
 You have  You had
 He/she has  He/she had
 We have  We had
 You have  You had
 They have  They had
Examples are:
1. Kate has planted the apple tree.-Present perfect tense
2. Chris had already done his homework.-Past perfect tense
 Modal Verbs
Modal verbs are: can and could, may and might, must, shall and will, should and
would, ought to, dare and need, and used to. They are used when you need to add
special elements of meaning to a main verb:
 To express different degrees of doubt and possibility about the action of the main
verb. Example is: I may not be able to come.
 To express degrees of future possibility, ranging from the definite future, will, to
the possible future, may, and the conditional future, could. Example is: You will
be cooking the food on Saturday for the students.
 To request or give permission for an action to take place. Example is: May I go
now?
 To make prohibition, when used with a negative. Example is: Dan must not see
the girl.
 To speculate. Example is: It might rain this morning.
 To express obligation and duty. Example is: She ought to play the tennis.
 To refer to typical behaviour. Example is: She can be very funny on days like this.
The uses of “can and could”
1. Both are used to indicate ability. The use of “could” is usual in clauses that
contain a reference to past time.
Examples are:
 Abe can write the notes very well now.
 Morgan couldn’t pay his fees last year.
2. Used to indicate that you know how to do something.
 You can drive the motor.
The use of “may and might”
1. Both are used in requests and in expressions of possibility for the present
and future.
Examples are:
 May I come to your house?
 We might go to the church tonight.
The uses of “must”
1. Is used to express obligation. Example is: All students must bring fruits to
school.
2. To give orders firmly and positively. Example is: She must sleep now.
3. To give advice or make recommendations emphatically. Example is: You
must take the food supplement- it is great.
4. To speculate about the truth of something. Example is: There must be some
mistake.
The uses of “shall and will”
1. Used to express simple future. The modal verb is not used very much in
modern English, except in suggestions or offers to help.
Example is: Shall I help you carry the box?
Things to Remember
a) Action verbs can be expressed in all tenses.
b) Verb of state will help you to describe exactly what you mean.
c) Modal verbs are used when you need to add special elements of meaning to a
main verb.
d) Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs.
Ready for I.E

SECTION 2
 LECTURE 3 – THE NOUN PRHASE

 LECTURE 4 – DETERMINERS AND
ADJECTIVES
SECTION 2 - LECTURE 3 – THE NOUN PRHASE –THE STATE OF
BEING PHRASE
 Definition of the noun phrase

 Mass nouns
 Partitive nouns
 Showing possession through nouns
 Compound nouns
 Number in nouns
Concept
A Noun is a name of a person, an animal, a place or a thing. A noun phrase is a word or
group of words that can function as the subject, the object or the complement. Hence
a noun phrase is also called the state of being phrase.
Example is: Lucy was the best candidate. Lucy – subject, candidate – object and
best – complement.
 Mass Nouns
These are nouns that refer to substances that can be divided or measured but not
counted. Example is: sugar, water. Mass nouns only take a plural in special cases. They
can be counted when they refer to:
 A particular type or types of the substance.

Example is:
The principal sugars are glucose, sucrose and fructose.
 A serving of the substance.
Example is:
Two cups of tea, Please.
 Partitive Nouns
Partitive nouns are commonly followed by “of”. They are used when we need to talk
about a part of a mass noun or when we need to count the quantity of something.
Examples are:
Three pieces of toast.
A slice of cheese.
 Showing Possession Through Nouns
Showing possession through nouns can be shown in two ways:
o The noun and gender. Example is: The woman was sewing her dress.
o The noun and a noun. Example is: The dress was being sown by a woman.
 Compound Nouns
A compound noun is a noun that is formed from two or more words. They are formed
from the following word combinations:
o Noun + noun. Example is: Boyfriend

o Verb + noun. Example is: Breakfast.
o Adjective + noun. Example is: Software.
o Phrasal verb used as noun. Example is: Take-over.
Note:
Compound nouns can be written:
o As one word. Example is: Notebook

o As two words. Example is: Post office
o With a hyphen. Example is: Tee-shirt
 Numbers in Nouns
Singular number is used when the noun refers to one item. Plural number is used when
the noun refers to more than one item.
Example is: cat (singular) – cats (plural)
Below are exceptions to the normal pattern:
Singular noun ending Plural noun ending

S, ss , ch, x, zz Es
Focus Focuses
Princess Princesses
Church Churches
Box Boxes
Buzz Buzzes
O S or es
Hero Heroes
Piano Pianos
Potato potatoes
Consonant + y ies
Baby Babies
Hobby Hobbies
Vowel + y S
Key Keys
Ray Rays
F S or ves
Hoof Hoofs or hooves

Dwarf Dwarfs or dwarves
Thief Thieves
Roof Roofs
Fe Ves
Knife Knives
Life Lives
Things to Remember
Do you remember how you make errors when you speak and mix your singular and
plural nouns? I guess you do. Let us practice with these sentences below:
1. My dresses are dirty.

2. The books are on the table.
3. Her shoe is in the car.
4. Their books are in the box.
The rule is simple. Singular nouns go with singular verbs and plural nouns go with
plural verbs. Therefore in sentence 1, “dresses” match the verb “are”.

SECTION 2 - LECTURE 4 – DETERMINERS AND ADJECTIVES –
THE SPECIFIC PHRASE
 Determiners
 Classes of determiners
 Adjectives
 Adjectives and comparisons
Concept
Determiners are words that make the reference of nouns more specific. It is also called
the specific phrase. If I say “this bag” it is clear that I mean a particular bag which is
near me.
Example is: That house is his.
 Classes of determiners
There are eight classes of determiners, namely:
 The indefinite article (a or an): The indefinite article is “a or an”. “an” is used
before a word that starts with a vowel sound (a e i o u y)
Examples are:
A bag.
An orange.
 Definite article (the): This article is used with singular and plural nouns.
Example is:
The man was here this evening.
 Demonstratives
Demonstratives are used to specify the distance of something in space or time in relation
to the speaker. They are: this, that, these and those.
o This and These refer to objects near the speaker.

Examples are: This ribbon looks nice. These oranges are expensive.
o That and Those refer to objects that are further away from the speaker.
Examples are: I see that girl over there. Those boys are stubborn.
Note:
o That and this are used before singular countable nouns.

o These and those are used before plural countable nouns.
 Possessives
They are used to specify the ownership of an item.
Example is: That is my table.
Person Singular Plural

1st My Our
2nd Your Your
3rd (masculine) His Their
3rd (feminine) Her Their
3rd (neutral) Its Their
 Quantifiers
They are used to indicate the amount of or quantity of something referred to by a noun.
Example is: all. Some, any, much, enough, no.
a) All, some, any – used before a plural countable noun or an uncountable noun.
b) Half, double, both, many, more, most, few, little, less, least, a few, a little
 Adjectives
They are used to make the meaning more specific. It modifies a noun.
Example is: A tall girl.
Forms of Adjectives
o Adjectives that describe feelings or qualities. Example is: Pleasant childhood

memories.
o Adjectives of size, age, temperature or measurement. Example is: Those beautiful
young girls.
o Adjectives of colour. Example is: Her beautiful long brown hair
o Adjectives of nationality or origin. Example is: An elegant beautiful African
woman.
o Adjectives denoting the substance or material that something is made from.
Example is: A small glass bowl.
 Comparison
The comparative form of an adjective is commonly used to compare two people, things
or states, when you want to say that one thing has a larger or smaller amount of quality
than another.
o If a part of the comparison is mentioned it follows “than”.

Example is: You are taller than the car
o The superlative form is used for more than two people, things or states, when one
thing has qualities that exceed all the others. Superlative adjectives have “the” in
front of them. Example is: That is the smallest man I have ever seen.
o For comparative add “er” or for superlative add “est” to the adjective. Adjectives
with one syllable (vowel sounds) usually take “er or est” as their endings.
Comparative Superlative
Bright (one vowel sound –i) Brighter The brightest
Long Longer The longest
Sharp Sharper The sharpest
o If the word already ends in-e, the –e must be left off. If a word ends in –y, it
usually takes –er or –est and the –y changes to –i.
Wise Wiser The Wisest
Pretty Prettier The Prettiest
Wearier Wearier The Weariest
o You add the more or most in front of the adjective. Adjectives with three
syllables or more use more or most in front of the adjective.
Fortunate More fortunate The most fortunate
Relevant More relevant The most relevant
o Adjectives formed from participles use more or most as well.

Provoking More provoking The most provoking
Enthralled More enthralled The most enthralled
o To indicate the opposite of both “er/est” and “more/most” forms of

comparison, less or least is always used.
Sharp Less sharp The least sharp
Fortunate Less fortunate The least fortunate
Interesting Less interesting The least interesting
Note:
A small group of irregular adjectives have quite different forms for the comparative and
superlative forms.
Good Better The best
Bad Worse The worst
Far Further The furthest
Things to Remember
a) When an adjective is used wholly it may have to be followed by a particular
preposition if the phrase continues.
Example is: She was glad - She was glad to help.
b) Adjectives with one syllable (vowel sounds) usually take “er or est” as their endings.
