How is it right to say in the yard or on the yard?
The correct preposition to use depends on the specific context. "In the yard" typically refers to being inside the boundaries of the yard, while "on the yard" would suggest being on the surface of the yard. For example, you would say "in the yard" if you were playing within the yard's confines, and "on the yard" if you were standing on top of it.
Is this correct It's not who you are it's whose you are?
No, the correct phrase is "It's not who you are, it's whose you are." This phrase emphasizes the importance of connections and relationships rather than individual identity.

How grammar impact communication?
We have no idea what you're saying.
Does that help?
Okay, we have some idea. But we're not certain. Using correct grammar and spelling tends to remove ambiguities, because if the grammar and spelling aren't correct, we have to make guesses about what you're really trying to ask, what the misspelled words are actually supposed to be (sometimes it's obvious; other times it's less so) and what words you left out and where they should be inserted.

What is the correct grammar for 'One of the companies gave its employees a raise'?
The sentence is correct grammatically. "One of the companies" is the subject of the sentence, and "gave" is the verb. "its employees" is the object receiving the action, and "a raise" is the direct object describing what was given.
Is the word pride a noun adjective or verb?
Actually, it can be a verb or a noun. "I pride myself on my appearance," makes use of the words as a verb. "Don't let your pride get in the way of making your marriage work" is an example of "pride" used as a noun. (I guess "pride" could be an adjective like this: "Put this in the pride folder"? Maybe??)

What is correct grammar before take into account or before taking into account?

Is it you would feel the same as her or the same as she?
It is tempting to interpret "as" as a preposition, and to assume that the noun after it is the objective case. But this is not how "as" works. In general, in any comparison using "as", both sides of the comparison use the same noun case.
Constructions of this type usually involve an implied phrase. Listening for the implied words makes the case clear. For example:
"I told you the same thing as (I told) her."
"You would feel the same as she (would feel)."
In your example, "She" is the subject of the implied verb, and uses the subjective case.
No. The structurally correct form is "Mark's and my visit" because the possessive must extend to Mark as it would if there were no compound subject. Ordinarily you would avoid the problem and say "our" instead of "Mark's and my."

"A passenger found ten thousand dollars on a bus" is active voice.
What is the root word of Actively Is it Active or Act?
