Summary about parts of speech!!

Parts of speech: are the basic types of words that English has.

There are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections

Noun: It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or action.
Ex: tree, Danny, England, box.

Verb:
A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something).
Ex: run, eat, been.

Adjective:
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun.
Ex: pretty, red, fat, important.

Adverb:
An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened.
Ex:
yesterday, tomorrow,slowly.

Pronoun:
A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun.
Ex:
I, you, he, she, it, we, they.

Conjunction:
A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together.
Ex: but, or. so.

Preposition:
A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence.
Ex: in, at, on, with.

Interjection:
An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks.
Ex:Oh no!, Ha!

To know this rules are important for learn English, because this help us to understand all about of the grammar of English

Why is grammar important for an EFL teacher?

Hi Miss.
In my opinion the EFT
is very important for us like teachers,
because the languange most important
around the world is the English.
The grammar, I think that is the most important part for learn the new language
because it is all the explication "like use" any language.

Danyta says!!

For me the exercises were very interesting, but I need to remember the "s", "es" at the end of a verb (with she, it, he). In some cases I forgot the comma, but for this reason I need to read and read carefully. These exercises are a good way of learning grammer.
