JIFUNZE ENGLISH
Kama inavyojulikana kuwa English ndio lugha kuu wa mawasiliano duniani hivyo pasipokujua English itakufanya ushindwe kuingia katika dunia ya Utandawazi moja kwa moja.
Katika dunia hii ya Utandawazi ina lengo la kuwaunganisha watu wote Duniani kuwa kitu kimoja yaani Dunia sasa ni kama kijiji.Kutokana na hilo,kuna fursa nyingi sana za vijana kutoka sehemu mbalimbali dunia kukutanishwa sehemu pamoja kufanya kazi kwa pamoja.
Hii huwa ni changamoto kubwa sana kwa wote ambao hawajui English na hivyo kushindwa kuchangamkia fursa hii.
Huenda tu unashindwa kujua tu kuwa upungufu wa ajira ni wa kiasi kidogo sana kuliko unavyofikiria au kusema.Unaweza ukawa sahihi kusema ajira Tanzania ni ndogo sana ila ukawa haupo sahihi kusema umekosa ajira kabisa.
Nimejitolea kufundisha English Bure kabisa hapa JF
Ila unachotakiwa ni uwe na Idea kidogo tu yaani uwe unajua kwenye English kuna Maneno kama "Yes" na "No".
Sasa leo naanza katika GRAMMAR(Kwa kifupi Grammar ya English ndio English yenyewe)
INTRODUCTION
It is essentially important,before we study grammar ,to know what language is and why and how we should learn a particular language.
We,first of all ,learn language for the purpose of communication.
A.Language :
As a matter of common knowledge ,is the medium of communication through which we express our emotions,ideas,feelings and thoughts to our fellow people.
B.Alphabet:
Language is mainly composed of letters which stand for signs or sounds.The letters are totally treated as the alphabet of the language.The number of letters are different from language to language.
The alphabet of English is composed of 26 letters(twenty six letters).These 26 letters are known as the alphabet are used either for printing or writing.
Accordingly,printing letters are different from script letters.
Various forms of printing and script letters are given below:
PRINT CAPITAL LETTERS
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
PRINT SMALL LETTERS
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z

SCRIPT CAPITAL LETTERS
SCRIPT SMALL LETTERS
C.Division of alphabet:
The alphabet of of English is divided into two classes namely
- Vowel(Inasomeka vawo kwa kiswahili)
- Consonant
1.Vowels-The five letters "a,e,i,o,u" are known as vowels in English and we cannot write even a single sentence without using a vowel
2.Consonant-The remaining 21 letters of the alphabet are known as the consonants in English.
They are b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z.
D.Syllable(Inasomeka silabo kwa kiswahili)
A word or a part of word which consists of a vowel sound.It is a combination of consonant and vowel.(Yani hapa kwa kifupi ni sawa na kiswahili unaposema anakula yani umeunganisha silabi mbili "ana" na "Kula".Na hapa tunaona kuwa mwishoni kabisa wakati unatamka inasikika sana vowel ) mfano mwingine ni neno "Kata" ambapo ukiwa unaliongea utapumzika mara mbili tu,ya kwanza "Ka" na ya pili ni "ta"
Hizo ndio mfano wa Syllable in swahili

Example the word Examination has 4 syllables
-Exa
-Mi
-Na
-Tion
E.Word:
A word is the basic element in every language.A word is a proper combination of letters.The letters in a particular language are arranged in such a manner that they should represent either objects or ideas.
Example of words are:
-Nation
-Examination
-Book
F.Grammar:
Grammar is a systematic study of scientific method which provides us information and guidance necessary to learn a language(yani hapa kwenye grammar ndio kwenye lugha husika ,na tutajikita hapa mpaka siku ya mwisho nasema sasa tumemaliza Grammar).
The science of grammar teaches us how a language is spoken and written correctly and effectively.
(Nasisitiza kuwa matatizo yako yote katika lugha ya kingereza humalizwa hapa kwenye Grammar)
THE PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE OF GRAMMAR
Kama nilivyosema kuwa Grammar is a scientific study of languages kwahiyo ina husika na matatizo yote katika lugha yoyote.
Unless we have mastered grammar ,we do not or cannot speak or write English correctly.
English(language) is very much controlled,conditioned and regulated by grammar.
It is due to these reasons that we should gain a considerable mastery over this grammar.
It may be pointed out,that it is very difficulty to define the scope and the practical value of grammar.
An attempt has,however,been made to illustrate the functions of grammar:
1.THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE
Grammar is primarily concerned with the study of language.It explains to us the difficulties and problems involved in learning a language and it guides us how language is effectively used in our day to-day-life.
2.THE STUDY OF WORD
Grammar tells us how words are formed and why they are classified into various categories.It also instructs us how words are combined and grouped into sentences.
It also tells us when and where a particular word should be used.
3.THE STUDY OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE AND PATTERNS
What we study in grammar is the sentence structure.As a matter of fact,sentence structure is very essential in every language.Grammar makes us familiar with these sentence patterns.It enables us to understand how sentences are patterned and how they are used in our practical life for proper and effective communication.
4.THE STUDY OF PARTS OF SPEECH
Grammar surveys and defines various parts of speech in detail and studies their functions elaborately .
It provides adequate information as to where,when and how these parts of speech are used in speech and writing(Naposema parts of speech namaanisha maneno yote unayotumia kwenye speech).
So,grammar might be considered to be a standard reference book for the parts of speech.
5.THE STUDY OF WRITING SKILLS
Grammar is essential and beneficial for writers,journalists and poets who are engaged in literary field.It trains us how paragraphs essays, and letters should be written in simple and dignified style.
Due to this,grammar is regarded as an introduction of literary composition.
6.THE STUDY OF COMMUNICATION AND CORRESPONDENCE
Language ,broadly speaking,is one of the best and the most effective means of communication without which we cannot live a civilized life.
Unless we communicate with our fellow people properly ,we can never be successfully in society.
So,grammar is a science which equips us with the powerful communication abilities and aids.
It tells us how to impress people with our speech and conversation.A professor or a politician cannot be successful in his profession,unless he is well equipped with linguistic skills(Grammar).
So ,grammar deals with communication and correspondence.
So due to these functions,grammar is treated as a science of communication.
