Conducive (adj.): suitable or favorable for a particular purpose or outcome2. Grammar (语法)1. Verb tense: In English, there are several verb tenses that are used to describe actions or states of being that occurred in the past, present, or future. Examples of verb tenses include present simple, past simple, present continuous, past continuous, future simple, and present perfect. It is important to use the correct verb tense when speaking or writing in order to convey the intended meaning accurately.2. Sentence structure: The structure of a sentence refers to the way in which words are arranged to form a grammatical and coherent expression. A sentence typically contains a subject, verb, and object, although the order and placement of these elements can vary depending on the type of sentence. Sentences can be simple, compound, or complex, and the use of punctuation marks such as commas, semicolons, and colons can help to clarify the meaning ofa sentence.3. Parts of speech: The English language has several different parts of speech, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Each of these parts of speech serves a different grammatical function in a sentence, and the correct use of these parts of speech is essential for clear and effective communication.4. Subject-verb agreement: In English, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number and person. For example, a singular subject requires a singular verb, while a plural subject requires a plural verb. Failure to follow this rule can result in confusing and unclear sentences.。
