(1) Series of Mountains, Bays/Gulfs, Group of islands, Canals, Aeroplanes, Ships, Planes, Religious books, Government branches, Armed forces, Names of Deserts, Political parties, Musical instrument, Rivers, Oceans,
Seas, and things which are “unique” in themselves : These nouns are always preceded by a definite article “The”.
Examples :-
🔸 The Sahara. [Name of Desert] ✅
🔹 The Himalayas. [Name of mountain range] ✅
#NOTE - Names of mountain ranges are preceded by article “THE” but mountains peaks are never preceded by article “the”.
The Himalayas is correct but the Mount Everest is wrong. We only use “Everest”.
(2) Names of Newspaper : These nouns are always preceded by a definite article “The”.
Examples :-
🔸 The Times of India. ✅
🔹 The Hindu. ✅

CASE 1: The higher you go, the cooler it is. ✅
CASE2 : He is the better of the two. ✅
(6) Metaphor : Sometimes “the” is used before a metaphor.
In case of a metaphor one thing is treated as another thing.
Example :-
🔸 He is the Mahatma Gandhi of our class. ✅
(7) For a phrase which is combination of a common and proper noun, the is used.
Examples :-
🔸 The Muslim League Party. ✅
🔹 The New York City. ✅

RULE61: The choice between the two indefinite articles – ‘a’ & ‘an’ – is determined by sound. Words beginning with consonant sounds are preceded by ‘a’ and words beginning with vowel sounds are preceded by ‘an’.
Vowels – a, e, i, o, and u
Consonants – b, c, d, f, … z
Examples :-
🔸 An NCC cadet. [Vowel sounding word] ✅
🔹 A UNICEF participating nation.
[Consonant sounding word] ✅ | 771 |
| 3 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE60 : In a general case of infinitive we always use the form “To + V1”. But in certain special cases, we use the form “To + V1+ing”.
There are certain words which always follow “To + V1+ing” form :-
1. be + used + to + V1+ing
2. accustomed to + V1+ing
3. addicted to + V1+ing
4. with a view to + V1+ing
5. look forward to + V1+ing
6. given to + V1+ing
7. prone to + V1+ing
8. devoted to + V1+ing
9. in addition to + V1+ing
10. confess to
11. disposed to
12. come to
Examples :-
🌀 I look forward to hearing from you. ✅
🌀 I am not accustomed to being treated like this. ✅
#NOTE: When we use the form “V1+ing” as a noun, it is called Gerund. | 1 259 |
| 4 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE59 : We do not use the preposition “from” with the word “start”.
Examples :-
🌀 My exams start from Monday. ❌
🌀 My exams start on Monday. ✅
#NOTE: “from” implies continuation. | 1 000 |
| 5 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE58: Use of the prepositions “with” and “by”.
(1) We use “with” when we refer non-living things.
Example :-
🌀 We write with a pen. [Pen being a non-living thing] ✅
(2) We use “by” when we refer living things.
Example :-
🌀 The motorcycle was driven by a tiny bald man.
#NOTE: Whenever we talk about “watch”, we use “by”.
Examples :-
🌀 What is the time by your watch? [ In your watch is incorrect] ❌
🌀 I have got to be home by seven. [referring time] ✅ | 967 |
| 6 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE57 : Use of the prepositions
“in”, “Inside” and “into” :
(1) The preposition “inside” implies
“movement”. Whenever we move from outside to inside, we use “inside”.
Example :-
🌀 I came inside the class. ✅
#NOTE: “Inside out” is completely different from “In” and “Inside”. It means if something is inside out, it has the usual inside part on the outside and the usual outside part on the inside.
There is one more meaning of “Inside out” which is “completely”.
Example :-
🌀 I know my husband inside out. ✅
(2) The preposition “in” implies “static”.
Whenever something referred is
already inside, we use “in”.
Example :-
🌀 I am in the class. ✅
(3) The preposition “into” implies “coming toward something”. Whenever we move to a position in or inside something, we use “into”.
It is also used to show a change in state.
Example :-
🌀 Come into the house. ✅ | 830 |
| 7 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE56 : The words like “sort, type, kind, etc.” are always followed by a Singular verb.
Examples :-

🌀 This sort of camera is very expensive. ✅
🌀 Any kind of racism is abhorrent to me. ✅ | 718 |
| 8 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE55 : The adverb “else” is always followed by “but” while the adverbs “other, and rather” are always followed by “than”.
Examples :-
🌀 It is nothing else but mere foolishness. ✅
🌀 He met no other person than Ram. ✅ | 691 |
| 9 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE54 :
Whenever the word “know” is used in a sentence, it is not directly followed by the infinitive “to”. We use the words like “how, when, why, where, etc.” to make the sentence grammatically feasible.
Examples :-
🌀 I don't know to make tea. ❌
🌀 Do you know where the Post Office is? ✅ | 652 |
| 10 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE53: Use of preposition with the word “Angry” :
(1) We use the preposition “with” with “angry” whenever we refer a person or living thing for the purpose.
Example :-
🌀 I got really angry with her.
(2) We use the preposition “at” with “angry” whenever we refer something other than person or living thing.
Example :-
🌀 The local residents were angry at the lack of parking spaces.
#NOTE: We follow the same rule with word “Annoy”. | 627 |
| 11 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE52 : Use of the phrase “It is time” , “It is high time” or “It is about time” :-
With the phrases like “It is time” and “It is high time”, we follow either of the two conditions :
(1) The phrase should be followed by “to + V1” if there is no Subject attached to it.
Example :-
🌀 It is time to work hard. ✅
(2) If the phrase is directly followed by a Subject, we use the verb form “V2” (past tense) after the subject.
Example :-
🌀 It is time he worked hard. [followed by the Subject “he”]
#NOTE: We use the expression “it’s time + subject + past verb form” to refer to the present moment. | 708 |
| 12 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE51: Rule for using “A number of” and “The number of” :
We use the following structures with these two :
🟡 “A number of + Plural Noun + Plural Verb”
🟠 “The number of + Plural Noun + Singular Verb”
Similar rule is there for “A variety of” and “The variety of”
Examples:-
🌀 A number of students are waiting here. ✅
🌀 The number of students is fifty. ✅ | 676 |
| 13 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE50 : Some common errors of
Possession :
We often make mistake by using “it’s” in place of “its”.
Both these terms have separate
meanings.
“It’s” denotes “It is”,
while “its” denotes possession.
Examples :-
🟠 The child is carrying its book. ✅
🟡 It’s called a miracle. ✅ | 779 |
| 14 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE49 : Use of Possessive sign :
(1) Common Possession : When two nouns are closely connected or implying the common possession, the possessive sign is put to the latter(last one).
Example :-
🔹 Ram and Shyam’s car is being decorated for Balram’s marriage. ✅
(2) Split Possession : Each of two or more connected nouns implying separate possession must take the possessive sign.
Example :-
🔸 Ram’s and Shyam’s cars are being decorated for Balram’s marriage. ✅ | 758 |
| 15 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE48 : Determination of tense based on words like “ago” and “before” :
We generally use Simple Past Tense when the word “ago” is mentioned in the sentence.
In the case of “before”, we use Past Perfect Tense.
Examples :-
♦️ He had gone two seconds ago. ❌
👉 He went two seconds ago. ✅
♦️ The patient died before the doctor came. ❌
👉 The patient had died before the doctor came. ✅
#Note : When two actions have
happened in the past, so for the earlier action we use “had + V3” and for the latter action we use “V2”. | 688 |
| 16 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE47: Words like “Quite” and “all” are never used together in a sentence.
Example :-
♦️ He is quite all well. ❌
👉 He is quite well. ✅
#NOTE: Do not get confused with the similar sounding words like “Quiet” and “Quite”. Quiet is a Noun which means the state of being silent. Quite is an Adverb which means completely. | 647 |
| 17 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE46 : There are certain words like “unique, excellent, perfect, ideal, entire, complete, etc.” which are never used with “most”.
Chief Rectangular excellent Spherical extreme annual
round golden deaf
blind right Empty
circular unique Wrong
impossible perfect Entire
external ideal total
whole solar Perfect Complete Singular
Example :-
🔸 He is the most excellent student. ❌
👉 He is an excellent student. ✅ | 619 |
| 18 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE45 : Whenever a point of time in the past is mentioned in the sentence (i.e. yesterday, 10 days ago, etc.), we always use
“Simple Past” tense.
Examples:-
1. I have gone to the market yesterday to purchase a car. ❌
👉 I went to the market yesterday to purchase a car. ✅
2. The company's shares have dived by 90p to 165p on the stock market last week. ❌
👉 The company's shares dived by 90p to 165p on the stock market last week. ✅ | 612 |
| 19 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE44 : Use of Apostrophe (‘s) :
Apostrophe (‘s) is not used with non-living things.
Examples:-
1. Table’s legs. ❌
2. Door’s bolt. ❌
3. Pen’s ink. ❌
4. Book’s page. ❌
5. Chair’s legs. ❌
These can be rewritten as :
1. Legs of the table. ✅
2. Bolt of the door. ✅
3. Ink of the pen. ✅
4. Page of the book. ✅
5. Legs of the chair. ✅
#NOTE: There are some exceptions to this rule. When we talk about time, weight, distance, place, idiom, unit, personification, or heavenly body, we can use Apostrophe (‘s) with them.
Examples:-
1. One week’s vacation. ✅
2. Four dollars’ worth. ✅
3. Today's date. ✅
4. At stone’s throw. ✅
#NOTE : The following pronouns are already possessive and do not require apostrophes :
yours, ours, its, theirs, his, hers, and whose. | 592 |
| 20 | 120 Rules of Grammer
RULE43 :
Some Superfluousness Errors :
Superfluousness means that more than required is given in the sentence. It means extra.
Consider these examples :-
(I) India broke all previous records in today’s match. ❌
👉 either previous or records
(II)I want wet water. ❌
👉 water is already wet
(III) Suppose if you won the Oscar, what would you do? ❌
👉 either Suppose or if
(IV) The army retreated back from the conflict zone in Kashmir. ❌
👉 either retreated or back
(V) The sage was reborn again in
Vijayanagara. ❌
👉 either reborn or again
#NOTE: Never use 'again' after verbs like – Rebirth/Reborn/rebuild/regain/reiterate/recast etc.
(VI) Manu is equally as good as Sharma. ❌
👉 as good as means equally
(VII) The manager and the chairman decided on a mutual agreement on profit. ❌
👉 either mutual or agreement
#NOTE: 'Mutual friend' is wrong to say. Instead we can say 'common friend'.
(VIII) She forbade me not to leave her alone. ❌
👉 ‘Not' is never used after until/unless/forbid/prohibit/prevent/dissuade/deny/refuse/lest.
(IX) He's a coward man/person. ❌
👉 The usage of 'coward man' is wrong because ‘coward’ itself means a person who lacks courage. Hence, the use of 'man' is illogical.
(X) She left the house with bag and baggage. ❌
👉 'Bag and baggage' is an idiom which means 'with all belongings'. Hence, using ‘with’ with the idiom is wrong.
(XI) Passing marks are thirty three. ❌
👉 Pass marks are thirty three. ✅
The usage of : passing marks / linking language / linking network / dressing sense is wrong. Instead, we should use : pass marks / link language / link network / dress
sense.
(XII) I suddenly came across him on the train. ❌
👉 come across means suddenly meet.
Some more superfluous errors :
(1)final destination. [Destination is
always final]
(2)rough estimate. [Estimate is always rough]
(3)rough approximation. [Approximation is always rough; not exact]
(4)past history. [History is always past]
(5)return back. [Return itself means come back]
(6)coming future. [Future is always coming]
(7)reason because. [Reason itself means cause so]
(8)consensus opinion. [Consensus itself means collective opinion or agreement]
(9)final conclusion. [Conclusion is
always final]
(10)Funeral service. [Funeral itself a ceremony and service]
#NOTE : “enter into” is also an example of superfluous error. However, when “enter into” is used as a phrasal verb, it means
“investigation”. | 608 |
