SPEAK EASY WITH PARTS OF SPEECH
1) The things about which you are talking are NOUNS. Some are Common nouns; they don’t have a particular name but only some common characteristics. Like school, friend etc. When you give a name it becomes a Proper noun. Like Calicut High School, George Bush etc. Some nouns always exist as groups like team, audience, furniture etc. These are called Collective Nouns. Some nouns express an emotion, a quality or an experience or a feeling like friendship, beauty, happiness etc. These nouns are called Abstract nouns.
2) Pronouns act as substitutes for nouns. Like I have a friend. He is a teacher. Here “He” is a pronoun, which represents “my friend”.
3) Verbs show the state, Possession or action of a noun.
For eg., I am a student. Here the verb “am” shows a state.
I have a book. Here the verb “have” shows a possession.
I read books. Here the verb “read” says about an action.
4) To give additional information about nouns we use adjectives.
For eg. He is a good friend.
Here “good” is an adjective, which describes the noun “friend”.
5) To give additional information about verbs we use adverbs.
For eg., Speak slowly.
Here “Slowly” is an adverb, which describes the verb “speak”.
- Adjective can have degrees like Good, better, best. Here Good is positive, Better is comparative and Best is superlative.
- Adverbs can also have degrees like slowly, more slowly, most slowly.
- Adjectives can only describe nouns whereas adverbs can describe both adjectives and adverbs including verbs.
For eg, She is very smart. He works very fast.
6) The direction of the flow of information in a sentence is indicated by prepositions like “From where can I catch a bus to your house?” Here “from” shows the starting point and “to” gives the ending point. So the Prepositions are like arrow marks directing the sentence towards clarity. They also show the exact position with respect to time and place like “Meet me tomorrow at 10 O’clock at my office.”
7) As we saw in the beginning, a speech is a group of interconnected sentences. The words which link two sentences or words are called conjunctions like: and, but etc.
8) To express strong feelings we have interjections like Oh!, Ah!, My God!, Hi!, Hello! etc.
9) To specify something we can use an article like
"the"or to say in general indefinite articles can be used like
"a/an"; like: He is the manager of ABC company. But his brother is a
salesman.
