Download ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS, ARTICLES, CONJUNTIONS

Here’s the first piece of information.
There are nine basic parts of speech (word classes) in the English language.
ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS, ARTICLES, CONJUNTIONS,
INTERJECTIONS, NOUNS, PREPOSITIONS, PRONOUNS,
VERBS.
There are lots of variations though. To help you remember them, think of
them as the ingredients of a stir fry.
Take the first letter of each of the terms (tools) above and we have
A, A, A, C, I, N, P, P, V. Jumble them up and you can come up with the
following mnemonic (memory aid).

Now for some creative fun.
Most of the people in Australia can owe their family heritage back to some
other country. It may take tracking back over many generations to find out
where this country is but most of us can do it.
We are going to make a multi-cultural poster based on three verbs just as we
did with the pages of different tenses.
The three verbs will be: “to be”, “to have” and “to speak”.
Research in person, on the internet or in books, as many languages as you
can. Write down the words for these three verbs in all of those languages.
Photocopy a map of the world onto A3 paper.
When you find the 3 verbs for each language you must record the verbs on
the map.
You will need to name the country and put a flag on it. The flag should be the
correct flag for that country. (Print off as many blank flags as you need.)
