1.1 Introduction to the noun group
At its simplest, we use language to talk about people and things. We do this by using words in a variety of ways, for example to make statements, to ask questions, and to give orders. The words we choose are arranged into groups, either around a noun or around a verb. They are called noun groups and verb groups.

Noun groups tell us which people or things are being talked about. Verb groups tell us what is being said about them, for example what they are doing.

Something that may seem elusive at times, but is always there, even if you can't see it. Look a little harder, do a little more, and eventually, you will find that one thing or person, that is your everything.
If you need a reason to live, find love, happiness, yourself and/or what you care about.
