Nouns are concrete
like dogs and cars.
Or abstract like

friendship.
Common like desks,
puppies and mother.
Or proper like
Juanita, McAllen,
HEB or Texas.
 PLURAL FORMS OF NOUN

places, things, activities, ideas, or qualities.

takes the place of a noun.
Pronouns can be:
Subjects : he or she
Objects: him or her
Possessive: his or hers
Indefinite: nobody or all
Demonstrative: this or those

Important: Always be sure the pronoun has a clear referent!

(If you use they, be sure the reader knows who they are.)
 ADJECTIVE

Adjectives are
descriptive words used
to modify or tell more
about nouns and
pronouns
Presenting a blue car, a red
car and a light brown car
Without colorful and
precise adjectives,
language would be
pretty blah!
We can use more than one
adjective before a noun.

There is usually one correct

order.
 e.g.
1. Its beautiful sunny weather.

2. John has a big brown dog.

 Word order
We order adjectives according to
their meaning.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

 ADVERB
An adverb is a descriptive word
that tells more about a verb, an
adjective or another adverb.
Adverbs tell how, where and
when:
Yesterday, she ran quickly
downtown.
The most commonly used adverb
in English is very.
Many adverbs end in ly:
quickly, carefully, & slowly
PREPOSITION
A preposition shows a position
relationship between two or
more nouns or pronouns.
She walked through the door
into the room.
The relationship can be spatial,
as in the sentence above, or in
time, as in the sentence below:
After the track meet, he was
very tired.
 PREPOSITION
Three types in prepositions :
Preposition of Place
Preposition of Time
Preposition of Direction
 CONJUNCTION
A conjunction is a short joining
word, such as and, or, but, for, so
& yet.
The main function of a
conjunction is to join words,
phrases and clauses together:
Slowly and carefully
A red hat and a white shirt
He had no ticket, but he went
anyway.
 INTERJECTION
An interjection is a word
(or words) of shock or
surprise.
It is usually used by itself
and is followed by an
exclamation point.
Examples are: Wow!,
Watch out! Whered this Cool!, Awesome! and so
