🖤 ENGLISH FOR BEGINNERS 🖤

Hello errybunny! So I know a few people on here struggle with English.

I’m doing a basic lesson on Shaw academy for English for beginners and thought to share my notes here!

Hope this helps 😊

Let’s start with PARTS OF SPEACH

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!

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.)

1. 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.

2. 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

that’s all from me!
