LESSON 1 NOTES

[English for Beginners]

, Parts of Speech

1. NOUN

 A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.
man... Shaw Academy... house... happiness

A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article
(the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do
not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by
adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be
a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

2. PRONOUN

 A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.
She... we... they... it

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific
noun, which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the
pronoun she is the girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to
specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are
used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate
clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

,3. VERB

 A verb expresses action or being.
jump... is... write... become

The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or
more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must
agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take
different forms to express tense.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

4. ADJECTIVE

 An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.
pretty... old... blue... smart

An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the
question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as
adjectives.)

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

5. ADVERB

 An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
gently... extremely... carefully... well

An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It
usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what
degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

, 6. PREPOSITION

 A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying
another word in the sentence.
by... with.... about... until

(by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another
word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The
prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following
list includes the most common prepositions:

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!

7. CONJUNCTION

 A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.
and... but... or... while... because

A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the
elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but,
or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because,
although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!

8. INTERJECTION

 An interjection is a word used to express emotion.
Oh!... Wow!... Oops!

An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation
point.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!
