From this article onward in English with Internshala<\/em>\u00a0series, we will start with (re)learning the basics of English grammar. And we would do it with the help of some handpicked Youtube videos\u00a0that\u00a0we felt\u00a0were right\u00a0for the Internshala community (given\u00a0most of us have already studied English as a subject\u00a0in school or college).<\/p>\n

To start, we would learn about Parts of Speech (building blocks of any sentence), some of the most commonly used prepositions, and a few tricky scenarios where you may get subject-verb agreement wrong.<\/p>\n
