    Parts of Speech

    LESSON 1, WEEK 1 (14/10/2020)

    Introduction

    Each part of speech explains not what the word is but how the word is used. In fact,
    the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next.

    Parts of Speech includes noun, adjective, verb, conjunction, preposition, article,


    interjection, and adverbs.
    Adverbs

    An adverb can modify a verb, an


    adjective, another verb, or a sentence.

    TYPES OF ADVERBS:
    1. Time (already, ago, before etc)
    2. Frequency (always, usually, etc)
    3. Place (here, everywhere, etc)
    4. Manner (slowly, so, badly, etc)
    5. Degree (almost. fully, etc)
    6. Affirmation (certainly, surely, etc)

    Be especially careful with the word


    'only', which is one of the most often
    misplaced modifiers.

    When an adverb is modifying a verb


    phrase, the most natural place for the
    adverb is usually at the middle of the
    phrase.
    snuoN

    A noun is a person, place or thing. In a


    sentence, nouns can play the role of
    subject, direct object, indirect object,
    subject complement, object
    complement, appositive. or adjective.

    TYPES OF NOUN :

    1. Common vs Proper
    2. Countable vs Uncountable

    9. Nouns used as adjectives
    Adjective Phrase
    An adjective that acts as an adjective to a noun or pronoun
    is called an adjective phrase. An adjective phrase has
    adjective as the main word. We can use a modifying adverb
    before an adjective too.

    Adjective Clause
    A dependent clause that acts as an adjective in a sentence is
    called adjective clause. An adjective clause works like an
    adjective in a sentence. The function of an adjective is to
    modify (describe) a noun or pronoun. Similarly, an adjective
    clause modifies a noun or pronoun.
