Basic Vocabulary:

To build your vocabulary, start with simple words and gradually expand. Here are a few basic words to get you started:

Greetings: Hello, Hi, Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, How are you?

Numbers: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten

Basic Grammar:

English grammar can be complex, but here are a few essential points to remember:

Sentence Structure: A basic sentence consists of a subject (the doer) and a predicate (what the subject does). 

For example, “I eat.”

Verb Conjugation: Verbs change according to the subject and tense. 

For example, "I eat," "He eats," and “They ate.”

Nouns and Pronouns: Nouns are naming words, and pronouns replace nouns. 

For example, "The cat is cute" (noun), "It is cute" (pronoun).

Articles: English has definite (the) and indefinite (a/an) articles. 

For example, "The dog is barking," “A cat is sleeping.”

Plurals: Most English nouns form the plural by adding an "s" at the end. 

For example, "cat" becomes “cats.”
 

Basic Conversations:

Practice having simple conversations with others. Here are a few examples:

Greeting

A: Hi! 

B: Hello! How are you?

Introducing Yourself

A: My name is John. 

B: Nice to meet you, John. I'm Sarah.

Asking for Directions

A: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the library? 

B: Sure! It's just down the street. Take a right and walk straight ahead.

Ordering Food

A: I'd like a cheeseburger, please. 

B: Certainly. Would you like fries with that?

Talking about the Weather

A: It's a beautiful day, isn't it? 

B: Yes, the sun is shining, and the weather is perfect.
 

Remember, practice is key to improving your English skills. Engage in conversations, read English books or articles, and listen to English audio or videos to enhance your language proficiency. Good luck!
