Grammar and Composition
тАв Nouns: Naming words (Common: 'boy', Proper: 'Rahul').
тАв Articles: 'an' for vowel sounds (an apple), 'a' for others (a cat).
тАв Verbs: Use am with I, is with he/she/it, and are with we/they.
тАв Plurals: Usually, add '-s' for more than one (one dog, two dogs).
The '-ing' Form of Verbs
Adding '-ing' shows an action is happening now! There are simple rules:
1. Most words just add 'ing' (do -> doing).
2. For words ending in 'e', drop the 'e' and add 'ing' (take -> taking).
3. For short vowel words ending in a consonant, double the last letter (sit -> sitting).

Rain and Water
Water is magic! It is essential for all life. The biggest source of fresh water is rain. Rain fills up our rivers, lakes, and ponds.
The Water Cycle
The sun's warmth turns water from rivers into vapor, which rises to form clouds. When the clouds get heavy, the water falls back as rain! This magical journey is called the water cycle.
