grammar

There are always things that are hard to say in any language. Try saying this three times fast. I bet your tongue won't seem to work right.

Tie twine to three tree twigs.

There are three sounds that "ed" makes when it is added to a word.
"t" "id" and "d"

The trick is to know when to use each one.

The sound "t" is used when the verb ends in these sounds:
"k" examples: tracked (sounds like track-t) and rocked (sounds like rock-t)
"ch"examples: launched (sounds like launch-t) and fetched (sounds like fetch-t)
"x" examples: waxed (sounds like wax-t) and boxed ( sounds like box-t)
"f" examples: laughed (sounds like laugh-t) and coughed (sounds like cough-t)
"sh"examples: wished (sounds like wish-t) and fished (sounds like fish-t)

If you are using an indefinite article ( “a” or “an”), you have to decide which one to choose based on the sound of the word after.

“a” is used with consonant sounds and “an” is used with vowel sounds.

Examples:
“a”
I bought a bike.
I have a yogurt.
Tony bought a used car.
They built a university near my house.
(A word beginning in “u” sometimes sounds like it begins with “y” which is a consonant sound, therefore you will need to use “a” instead of “an”.

“an”
I have an idea.
I have an ugly sister.

Position of Adjectives

Unlike Adverbs, which often seem capable of popping up almost anywhere in a sentence, adjectives nearly always appear immediately before the noun or noun phrase that they modify. Sometimes they appear in a string of adjectives, and when they do, they appear in a set order according to category. (See Below.) When indefinite pronouns — such as something, someone, anybody — are modified by an adjective, the adjective comes after the pronoun:

Anyone capable of doing something horrible to someone nice should be punished.
Something wicked this way comes.
