English Grammar Essentials: Tenses, Articles, and Prepositions

Mastering English grammar is essential for IELTS and daily communication. These are the essentials we teach in Spoken English and IELTS batches at SM Academy.

Verb tenses

Present: simple, continuous, perfect, perfect continuous. Past: simple, continuous, perfect. Future: will, going to, future continuous and perfect. Use one clear time frame per sentence until you are confident mixing them.

Articles (a, an, the)

A/An for first mention of singular countable nouns. The for specific or unique nouns. No article with general plurals, many uncountables, and most proper nouns.

Prepositions

Time: at (clock time), on (day/date), in (month/year). Place: at (point), on (surface), in (enclosed space).

Practise with correction, not only rules. Our English courses in Bengaluru include grammar in speaking and writing tasks.
