So Spent one hour today to read chapter on following topics from Grammar book.:
NOUNS AMD PRONOUNS Words like book, table, flower and apple are “countable nouns”: they are things that can be counted. Such nouns can have' plural forms and are used with a/an.
Words like ink, milk, gold and wisdom are “uncountable nouns”: they are things that cannot be counted. Normally uncountable nouns do not have plural forms and cannot be used with a/an. Note that the following nouns are usually uncountable in English: advice, news, information, furniture, luggage, work, business, weather, traffic, scenery, paper (= writing material), bread. Most of these are countable in Indian languages and therefore Indian students often wrongly use them with a/an and in the plural. Wrong: -- He gave me an advice. Right: -- He gave me some advice (or: a piece of advice). Wrong: -- The sceneries here are very good. Right: -- The scenery here is very good.
If you are thinking of one separate item or unit of an uncountable thing, you may say a piece of/a bottle of, etc. a piece of advice, a piece of work, a piece/bar of soap, a bottle of milk
. The use of the Possessive (or Genitive) Case should be confined to the following :- (1) Names of living beings and personified objects; as, The Governor's bodyguards; the lion's mane; Nature's laws; Fortune's favourite. (2) A few stereotyped phrases; as, For conscience' sake, for goodness' sake, at his fingers' ends, out of arm's way, the boat's crew. (3) Nouns of space or time denoting an amount of something; as, A day's work, a hand's breadth, in a year's time.
. When two nouns in the possessive case are in apposition the apostrophe with s is added to the last only; as,
This is my uncle, the engineer's office. My brother Harry's watch.
For thy servant David's sake.
When one noun is qualified by two possessive nouns both must have the possessive sign, unless joint possession is indicated. The King and Queen's journey to India. Huntley and Palmer's biscuits.
Grammarians formerly recommended that the complement of the verb to be, when it is expressed by a pronoun, should be in the nominative case. Today the use of the nominative form is considered extremely formal and over-correct. We usually use the objective form. It is me. (Rare: It is I.) It was him.
The Object of a verb or of a preposition, when it is a Pronoun, should be in the Objective form; as, Between you and me (not I) affairs look dark. There is really no difference between you and me. Let you and me (not I) do it. Please let Jack and me go to the theatre. Her (not she), who had been the apple of his eye, he now began to regard with something like distrust. Him (not he), who had always inspired in her a respect which almost overcame her affection, she now saw the object of open pleasantry. He has given great trouble to my father and me (not I).
. A pronoun directly after than or as is usually in the objective case unless there is a verb after it. If a verb follows it, the nominative form is used. He is taller than me. Or: He is taller than I am. (More formal) I swim better than him. Or: I swim better that he does. (More formal) I am as tall as her. Or; I am as tall as she is. (More formal) The nominative form without a verb after it (e.g. 'He is taller than I') is old-fashioned.
A Pronoun must agree with its Antecedent in person, number and gender. All passengers must show their tickets. Every man must bear his own burden. Each of the girls gave her own version of the affair. I am not one of those who believe everything they (not I) hear.
. In referring to anybody, everybody, everyone, anyone, each, etc., the pronoun of the masculine or the feminine gender is used according to the context; as, I shall be glad to help everyone of my boys in his studies.
What pronoun should be used to refer back to anybody, everyone, each, etc. when the sex is not determined? Some grammarians recommend that the pronoun of the masculine gender should be used, as there is no singular pronoun of the third person to represent both male and female, e.g., Anybody can do it if he tries. Everyone ran as fast as he could.
In present-day English, anybody, everyone, etc. are often followed by a plural pronoun (they/them/their) except in very formal speech or writing.
Suggestive Book : To verify correctness of your answer read the concerned chapter from high school Grammar book.
Further you must read an English Newspaper today and encircle 20 difficult words . There after learn meaning of these words from dictionary. This will help you to build your word power gradually and you will be able to add about 600 new words every month to your vocabulary.
All The Best.
