A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause

[Here after is preposition]

Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past

Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time

He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

He has just - out

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause

Countable singular nouns
1 ldquoArdquo is used before consonant sounds and ldquoAnrdquo is used before vowel sounds Both of them are used before countable singular nouns
Example
I need a pen to sign here
She imported a new car
An animal drove him out of the Sundarbans
Remember ldquoOrdquo and ldquoUrdquo sometimes produce consonant sounds and take ldquoArdquo instead of ldquoAnrdquo Example- A one way ticket a one sided argument a university a unique design a united force a European coin a U-tern etc
Similarly ldquoHrdquo sometimes remains mute and take ldquoAnrdquo instead of ldquoArdquo Example - An hour an honorable person aan hotel etc
Also remember
An MA an MP an ldquohrdquo an ldquofrdquo an ldquolrdquo an ldquonrdquo an ldquorrdquo an x-ray etc
2 When countable singular noun is preceded by a possessive pronoun (myouryourhishertheirits) or a possessive noun (RafiqrsquosSimarsquos) no article is used
He lived in my house

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect
t t
He has just - out
uumlA gone B went
C going D getting

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

He has just - out

C going D getting

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]

A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]

Countable singular nouns
1 ldquoArdquo is used before consonant sounds and ldquoAnrdquo is used before vowel sounds Both of them are used before countable singular nouns
Example
I need a pen to sign here
She imported a new car
An animal drove him out of the Sundarbans
Remember ldquoOrdquo and ldquoUrdquo sometimes produce consonant sounds and take ldquoArdquo instead of ldquoAnrdquo Example- A one way ticket a one sided argument a university a unique design a united force a European coin a U-tern etc
Similarly ldquoHrdquo sometimes remains mute and take ldquoAnrdquo instead of ldquoArdquo Example - An hour an honorable person aan hotel etc
Also remember
An MA an MP an ldquohrdquo an ldquofrdquo an ldquolrdquo an ldquonrdquo an ldquorrdquo an x-ray etc
2 When countable singular noun is preceded by a possessive pronoun (myouryourhishertheirits) or a possessive noun (RafiqrsquosSimarsquos) no article is used
He lived in my house
Shihab bought Rafiqrsquos car

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]

A Preposition is a connecting word used before a noun or a pronoun or a phrase and makes relationship with other words
To distinguish between preposition and conjunction always remember one thing Preposition connects a word or phrase but conjunction connects a clause
I arrived at the office after him
[Here after is preposition]
I arrived at the office after he did
[Here after is conjunction]
But very few Conjunctions are used as prepositions It is not very much frequent in English
A conjunction connects two clauses and makes relationships with other words

Countable singular nouns
1 ldquoArdquo is used before consonant sounds and ldquoAnrdquo is used before vowel sounds Both of them are used before countable singular nouns
Example
I need a pen to sign here
She imported a new car
An animal drove him out of the Sundarbans
Remember ldquoOrdquo and ldquoUrdquo sometimes produce consonant sounds and take ldquoArdquo instead of ldquoAnrdquo Example- A one way ticket a one sided argument a university a unique design a united force a European coin a U-tern etc
Similarly ldquoHrdquo sometimes remains mute and take ldquoAnrdquo instead of ldquoArdquo Example - An hour an honorable person aan hotel etc
Also remember
An MA an MP an ldquohrdquo an ldquofrdquo an ldquolrdquo an ldquonrdquo an ldquorrdquo an x-ray etc
2 When countable singular noun is preceded by a possessive pronoun (myouryourhishertheirits) or a possessive noun (RafiqrsquosSimarsquos) no article is used
He lived in my house
Shihab bought Rafiqrsquos car
Similarly if a countable singular noun is preceded by singular demonstratives (thisthat) no article is used
You need this pen to draw this picture
t t
Her teacher asked her to buy that book
3 No article is used before a countable plural noun
She is imported new cars Never she imported anew cars
4 When a countable singular noun is first mentioned aan is used before it But ldquotherdquo is used before it whenever it is mentioned in the following sentences in the same piece of writing
He has a cat and a dog
The catrsquos name is Mini and the dogs name is Bhola
5 When a countable plural noun is first mentioned no article is used before it But ldquotherdquo is used before it whenever it is mentioned in the following sentences in the same piece of writing
Children play games But the games often create quarrels among them
6 Aan in phrases a little a few many a half a dozen fraction of a secondminute a pair of glassesshoes quarter of an hour what a etc
But the is used before lsquolittlersquo when the whole of the little amount is meant
The little money he has is not enough for his treatment

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect
t t
He has just - out

C going D getting

The present continuous tense is used-
Present Perfect is used with an action that happened at an indefinite time in the past
John has travelled around the world (We dont know when)
A common error is to substitute the present indefinite tense for the present perfect tense Present indefinite tense should not be used in place of present perfect The latter is used when the action which began in the past still continues
I am in Delhi for seven years (Incorrect)
I have been in Delhi for seven years (Correct)
We use present perfect with today this morning this evening etc when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking
I havent seen you this morning
Have you had a holiday this year
The following adverbs can be used with present perfect
Just already since for yet (in questions and negations) So far till now never often ever (in questions only)
Note It should never be used with adverbs of past time
He has just come here yesterday (Wrong)
He has just come here (Right)
Choice Between YETALREADY
The adverbs yet and already are used to indicate that something has happened (or hasnt happened) at an unspecified time in the past These adverbs are often used with the present perfect
t t
He has just - out
uumlA gone B went
C going D getting
