Basic information:
There are some grammar structures in the foreign language that are different from the grammar structures in our mother tongue. Learning these structures and memorizing them will help us become more fluent and better at communicating our ideas in English; To begin, it is necessary to identify the grammar categories that make up the sentences because every word in a sentence (parts of the speech) has a specific role.
The main parts of speech in the English language are: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection Let's see their definitions and some examples:
1. Noun: [naʊn] a word that refers to a person, place, animal, thing, or substance. For example: Doctor, Stadium, Cat, Desk.
2. Pronoun:[ˈproʊˌnaʊn] Word that is used instead of a noun.
Pronouns ususually refer to a noun that has already
been mentioned.
For example: Margareht lives in Canadá, She is a dentist.
3. Verb: [vɝb] [ˈv3ːrb] Word that indicates the occurrence or
performance of an action,the existence of a state or condition
For example: Run, Keep, Feel, Want, Rain ...
4. Adjective:[ˈædʒɪktɪv] Word that describes a noun or a pronoun.
For example: Beautiful, Handsome, Tall, Short, Fat, thin...
5. Article: [ˈɑrtɪkəl] one of a small class of words in English,
a, an, and the, that are linked to nouns and that show
whether the noun is definite or indefinite.
6. Adverb: [ˈædvɝb] word that modifies or describes something about
verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or clauses.
Adverbs usually express some relation of place (here,
there), time (now,then), manner (well, quickly), degree
(very, extremely), means, cause, result, etc.
In English many adverbs have the ending -ly.
7. Preposition: [ˌprɛpəˈzɪʃən] Word that is used before a noun, Or a
pronoun connecting it to another word.
For example:
In the sentences "We jumped in the lake", and
"She drove slowly down the track", "in" and "down" are
prepositions.
8. Conjunction: [kənˈdʒʌŋkʃən] word that connects words, phrases,
clauses, or sentences, such as and, because, but, and
unless.
9. Interjection: [ˌɪntɚˈdʒɛkʃən] a word or short phrase used to express
emotion, such as Hey! Oh! Ouch! Ugh! Good grief!
