120 Rules Of English Grammar

120 Rules of Grammer

RULE74 : When a collective noun is used in the main statement and depicting all its units are working together on the same thing or all are behaving similarly, we consider everything to be singular.
However, if all the units are working on different things, we consider everything to be plural.

Examples:-

🔸 The jury has taken the decision, hasn’t it?
[Only one decision is taken]

🔹 The audience took the seats, didn’t they?
[Audience took their respective seats]

RULE75 : When we talk about Imperative Sentences and that also when we talk about proposals, in that case we always use “shall we” in question tag statement.

RULE73 : When we use “Each or Every” in a sentence, a singular noun or pronoun is followed which is further followed by a singular verb. But in the case of question
tag, noun (or, pronoun) following “Each or Every” is considered plural and thus we use plural verb in question tag statement.

Examples:-

🔸 Every girl is very talented, isn’t she? ❌

🔹 Every girl is very talented, aren’t they? ✅

🔸 Each one has to work hard to make both ends meet, hasn’t he? ❌

🔹 Each one has to work hard to make both ends meet, haven’t they? ✅

RULE71 : Certain words like “Seldom, barely, hardly, scarcely, never” often define a negative meaning to the statement, thus these should be followed by a positive question tag.


Examples :-

🔸 He seldom comes to my house, does he?
[ Positive question tag for a negative statement ]

🔹 They have barely enough to pay the rent this month, have they?
[ Positive question tag for a negative statement ]

🔸 I never realized you knew my brother, did I?
[ Positive question tag for a negative statement]

🔹 We hardly ever go to concerts, do we?
[ Positive question tag for a
negative statement ]

🔸 I seldom drive my car into the city, do I?
[ Positive question tag for a negative statement ]

🔹 I scarcely registered the fact that he was there, did I?
[ Positive question tag for a
negative statement ]

RULE72 : It is important to note that question tag statement must be in same tense as the main statement.

Examples :-

🔸 I am doing the work which you gave me, don’t I? ❌

🔹 I am doing the work which you gave me, aren’t I? ✅

The first statement is incorrect ❌ as the main statement is in Present Continuous Tense which the question tag statement doesn’t follow.

RULE69 : Rule of Question tags :
A small question is added at the end of a statement. This is called Question Tag.

A question tag for a positive statement is always negative and vice-versa.

Examples :-

🔷 He has worked very hard on this project, hasn’t he?
[ Negative question tag for a positive statement ]

🔶 He has not worked hard on this project, has he?
[ Positive question tag for a negative statement ]

RULE67 : Whenever “male” or “female” is used before a noun, it means that we are describing its characteristics.

Examples :-

🟠 Female watch [means the watches
specified for females]

🟡 Female doctor [means the doctors specified for females]

🟣 Male shoes [means the shoes specified for males]

But whenever we use “man” or “woman” is used before a noun, it means that we are describing the profession or post of that noun.

Examples :-

🔸 Man soldier [ means the soldier is a man ]

🔹 Woman student [ means the student is woman ]

🔸 Woman doctor [ means the doctor is woman ]

🔹 She went to a female doctor. ✅

🔸 Raj went to a woman doctor to get himself treated. ✅

RULE68 : Antecedent Rule

The noun or pronoun that comes just before a Relative pronoun is called an Antecedent.

Examples :-

🔸 Ram met him who they say has helped us.
[“him” in this case is an Antecedent]

🔹 He saw her whom everyone admires.
[“her” in this case is an Antecedent]


#NOTE: When there is no antecedent in a sentence, we use “whoever, whomever, etc.” as
relative pronouns.

Examples :-

🟡 Ram met whoever they has helped us.
[No Antecedent in the sentence]

🟣 He saw whomever everyone admires.
[No Antecedent in the sentence]
