Grammar, so someone has said is the art of putting the right words in the right places.

Let us see then if we can discover what the right places and the right words to go into them. All the words in English can be put according to the work they do, into eight and only eight boxes. These boxes are the parts of speech. When you put words from these boxes into the right order, you get sentences. But before we talk about sentences, let us open these boxes one by one, and see what comes out.
