Nouns are people, places, or things,
They tell us what we are talking about. The words cat, Jack, rock, Africa,
& it are nouns.
Adjectives modify, or describe,
nouns. The words tall, beautiful, irresponsible, & boring are
adjectives.
Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, or
other adverbs. They tell us how, when, and where things happen. They express
quantity, intensity, frequency, and opinions.
Articles, quantifiers, and other
determiners modify nouns. They ressemble adjectives in that way. Determiners
help us say what we are talking about.
Verbs are action words. They tell us
what is happening and when (past, present, future). Verbs can also express
possibilities and conditions.
When we report what someone says, we
can cite the person directly or indirectly. Indirect speech rules are an
important area of grammar.
Punctuation is not part of oral
grammar, but it is essential to master in written English.
We use relative clauses in English to create
more complex and more precise sentences.
