Parts of Speech

Every single word we use belongs to one of eight word groups or parts of speech.
Wow! Did you hear that? 


Just think about that fact for a minute. We use thousands of words, and they can all be separated into just eight groups!

 You'll learn about all eight word groups below, and you'll transform yourself into a grammar guru. Everything else that has to do with grammar builds on this information, so soak it all in!

 1. What is a noun?
Nouns name people, places, things, or ideas. There are many different types of nouns.
Here are a few: proper nouns, common nouns, collective nouns, possessive nouns, and compound nouns.
A peacock walked through our yard.
The dog howled.
2. What is a pronoun?
Pronouns take the place of nouns. There are many different types of pronouns.
Here are a few of them: reflexive pronouns, indefinite pronouns, possessive pronouns, and relative pronouns. 
We walked across the bridge.
It woke the baby.
3. What is a verb?
Verbs show actions or states of being. Linking verbs, action verbs, and helping verbs are described on the page above. 
The shuttle flew into space.
The loving mother comforted the baby.
4. What is an adjective?
Adjectives describe, or modify, nouns and pronouns.
The wise, handsome owl had orange eyes.
The caring father rocked the baby.
5. What is an adverb? 
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
The extremely cute koala hugged its mom very tightly.
The dog howled loudly.
6. What is a preposition?
Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and some other word in the rest of the sentence. 
The frog sat in the flower.
The baby cried for a long time.
7. What is a conjunction?
Conjunctions join two or more words, phrases, or clauses
The hummingbird sat and waited.
The baby gazed at his mother and father.
8. What is an interjection?
Interjections show excitement or emotion. They are not grammatically related to the rest of the sentence. 
Wow! That jump was amazing!
Phew, the baby finally fell asleep.

If you want to sound like a native speaker, copy a native speaker

Well, the statement that the title to this blog makes is entirely logical to me! I love presenting this statement to my students and getting them to think deeper. I always try to make my students remember that they’ve probably all imitated native speakers of their own language, both intentionally and unintentionally, through the years and that is why they sound like native speakers in their own language. I’m pretty sure that everyone, at one time or another, tried to memorise and rehearse the words of a cool actor, politician, writer or a singer etc... and tried to use them to sound, cool, intelligent or even just romantic when they uttered these words to other people. We’ve all perfected and personalised these utterances to make them our own. This is simply the way for us to discover and express ourselves in our own language. And this is the secret to artfully discover and express ourselves in a new language.



As I make this point to my students and try to get them to get on board, I normally try to help them grasp some expressions used to talk about one topic or another. In this lesson, based on a Unit from Innovations Upper Intermediate (by Hugh Dellar and Andrew Walkley), the topic is – Describing People...
