The Building Blocks of Grammar: The Parts of Speech Miss Johnson S “Learn grammar, you must.” Standards S Written and Oral English Language Conventions S 1.2: Understand sentence construction (e.g., parallel structure, subordination, proper placement of modifiers) and proper English usage (e.g., consistency of verb tenses). Our Targets S We can define the various types of phrases. S We can write sentences that include different types of phrases Nouns S A Noun is a person, place, a thing, an idea, a quality, or an action. S Common vs. Proper S Singular vs. Plural Pronoun S A Pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. S Personal vs. Reflexive vs. Intensive Adjective S An Adjective is a word that describes a noun; tells us which one, what kind, how many, or how much. Article S An Article is a word that defines the noun as specific or unspecific. S Compare this to another language. S Considered an adjective Verb S A Verb is a word used to describe an action, a condition, or a state of being. S Action vs. Linking Adverb S An Adverb is a word that describes a verb; tells us where, when, how, or to what extent. Conjunction S A Conjunction is a word used to connect clauses or sentences. Preposition S A Preposition is a word that express either a location, time, or relation to another object. Interjection S Expresses emotion Subject S The Subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing the sentence is about. An Article + A Noun A Pronoun Predicate S Verb The Predicate completes the idea about the subject. Clause S A Clause is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete thought; consists of a subject and a predicate. An Article + A Noun + A Verb Subject + Predicate Compare to Another Language S Looking at Sentence Number 10, rearrange the LEGO’s as it would be correct in another language of your choice.
