THE PARTS OF SPEECH

Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech:

1. the verb, 2. the noun,3. the pronoun, 4. the adjective, 5. the adverb, 6. the preposition, 7. the conjunction, and 8. the interjection.

Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.

Books are made of ink, paper, and glue.

In this sentence, "books" is a noun, the subject of the sentence.

Deborah waits patiently while Bridget books the tickets.

Here "books" is a verb, and its subject is "Bridget."

The town decided to build a new jail.

Here "jail" is a noun.

The sheriff told us that if we did not leave town immediately he would jail us.

Here "jail" is a verb.

Page 7: English Pre Course

WHAT IS A VERB?

The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence.

Express actions, events, or states of being.

In each of the following sentences, the verb is highlighted:

Dracula bites his victims on the neck.

The verb "bites" describes the action Dracula takes.

She walks to work every day.

The verb “walks” describes the action She does.

WHAT IS A NOUN?

A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract idea.

Nouns are usually the first words which small children learn.

The highlighted words in the following sentences are all nouns:

Last year our neighbors bought a goat.

Paula White was an opera singer.

The bus inspector looked at all the passengers.

TYPES OF NOUNS

There are many different types of nouns. As you know, you capitalize some nouns, such as "Canada" or "Louise," and do not capitalize others, such as "badge" or "tree" (unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence).

You should note that a noun will belong to more than one type: it will be proper or common, abstract or concrete, and countable or non-countable or collective.

Page 8: English Pre Course

WHAT IS A PRONOUN?

A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun.

Pronouns are classified into several types, including the personal pronoun, the object pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun and the reflexive pronoun.

Page 9: English Pre Course

WHAT IS AN ADJECTIVE?

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies.

In the following examples, the highlighted words are adjectives:

The truck-shaped balloon floated over the trees.

Mrs. Morrison papered her kitchen walls with beautiful wall paper.

The small boat foundered on the wide dark sea.

WHAT IS AN ADVERB?

An adverb is a word that describes an action, telling "how," "when," "where," "how often," or "how much" an action took place. In the phrase "the cat ate hungrily," hungrily is an adverb since it describes how the cat ate. Adverbs often end in “ly”. Some adverbs are: easily, warmly, quickly, mainly, freely, often, and unfortunately.

There are many types of adverb, those that describe an action:

manner (described how something happens) - well, beautifully, terribly, quietly, noisily, lovingly, kookily, greedily, nicely, frankly, naturally, neatly, oddly, hungrily, gently, slowly, quickly, loudly, together, independently, ...

place (described where something happens) - here, there, everywhere, nowhere, inwardly, outwardly, nearby, far, then, away, upward, downward, up, down, inside, indoors, outside, outdoors, home, homeward, backward, forwards, southward, abroad, ...

time (described how long or when something happens) - before, after, still, yet, punctually, today, tomorrow, suddenly, yesterday, recently, later, often, ...

frequency (described how often something happens) - always, never, sometimes, often, seldom, yearly, daily, weekly, nightly, periodically, sporadically, rarely, frequently, regularly, normally, occasionally...

degree (described to what degree something happens) - almost, nearly, barely, scarcely, quite, just, hardly, totally, fully, less, too, thoroughly, weakly, half-heartedly, whole-heartedly, extremely, enough, completely, very, enough, ...

certainty (described how probable it is that something will happen) - definitely, probably, certainly, surely, undoubtedly, likely, doubtlessly, unquestionably, indubitably, absolutely.

Page 10: English Pre Course

WHAT IS A PREPOSITION?

A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the preposition.

A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples:

The book is on the table.

The book is beneath the table.

The book is leaning against the table.

The book is beside the table.

She held the book over the table.

She read the book during class.

Page 12: English Pre Course

WHAT IS A CONJUNCTION?

You can use a conjunction to link words, phrases, and clauses, as in the following example:

I ate the pizza and the pasta.

Call the movers when you are ready.

Lilacs and violets are usually purple.

After she had learned to drive, Alice felt more independent.

If the paperwork arrives on time, your payment will be mailed on Tuesday.

WHAT IS AN INTERJECTION?

An interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.

You usually follow an interjection with an exclamation mark.

Interjections are uncommon in formal academic prose, except in direct quotations.

The highlighted words in the following sentences are interjections:

Ouch, that hurt!

Oh no, I forgot that the exam was today!

Hey! Put that down!

I heard one guy say to another guy, "He has a new car, eh?"

I don't know about you but, good lord, I think taxes are too high!

SIMPLE PRESENT

I SING

How do we make the Present Simple Tense?

subject + main verb      base

There are three important exceptions:

1. For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.2. For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add “s” to the main verb or “es” to the

auxiliary.3. For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and negatives.

Look at these examples with the main verb like:

  subject auxiliary verb   main verb  

+I, you, we, they   like to read.

He, she, it   likes to read.

-I, you, we, they do not like to read.

He, she, it does not like to read.

?Do I, you, we, they   like to read?

Does he, she, it   like to read?

Look at these examples with the main verb be. Notice that there is no auxiliary:

  subject main verb    

+

I am   French.

You, we, they are   French.

He, she, it is   French.

- I am not old.

You, we, they are not old.

Page 14: English Pre Course

He, she, it is not old.

?

Am I   late?

Are you, we, they   late?

Is he, she, it   late?

How do we use the Present Simple Tense?

We use the present simple tense when:

the action is general the action is not only happening now the statement is always true

Look at these examples:

I live in New York. The Moon goes round the Earth. John drives a taxi. He does not drive a bus. We meet every Thursday. We do not work at night. Do you play football?

We can use the present simple tense to talk about now. Look at these examples of the verb "to be" in the present simple tense - some of them are general, some of them are now:

Am I right?Tara is not at home.

You are happy.

present

The situation is now.

PAST SIMPLE TENSE

I SANG

We can use several tenses and forms to talk about the past, but the past simple tense is the one we use most often.

How do we make the Past Simple Tense?

To make the past simple tense, we use: Subject + verb in past

Here you can see examples of the past form and base form for irregular verbs and regular verbs:

  base past past participle  

regular verb

workexplodelike

workedexplodedliked

workedexplodedliked

The past form for all regular verbs ends in -ed.

irregular verb

goseesing

wentsawsang

goneseensung

The past form for irregular verbs is variable. You need to learn it by heart.

You do not need the past participle form to make the past simple tense. It is shown here for completeness only.

 

The structure for positive sentences in the past simple tense is:

subject + main verb    past

The structure for negative sentences in the past simple tense is:

The structure for question sentences in the past simple tense is:

auxiliary verb + subject + main verbdid       base

subject + auxiliary verb + not + main verb     did base

Page 19: English Pre Course

The auxiliary verb did is not conjugated. It is the same for all persons (I did, you did, he did etc). And the base form and past form do not change. Look at these examples with the main verbs go and work:

  subject auxiliary verb   main verb  

+I     went to school.

You     worked very hard.

-She did not go with me.

We did not work yesterday.

?Did you   go to London?

Did they   work at home?

Exception! The verb to be is different. We conjugate the verb to be (I was, you were, he/she/it was, we were, they were); and we do not use an auxiliary for negative and question sentences. To make a question, we exchange the subject and verb.

Look at these examples:

  subject main verb    

+I, he/she/it was   here.

You, we, they were   in London.

-I, he/she/it was not there.

You, we, they were not happy.

?Was I, he/she/it   right?

Were you, we, they   late?

How do we use the past simple tense?

We use the past simple tense to talk about an action or a situation - an event - in the past. The event can be short or long.

Here are some short events with the past simple tense:

Here are some long events with the past simple tense:

Page 20: English Pre Course

I lived in Bangkok for 10 years. The Jurassic period lasted about 62 million years. We did not sing at the concert. Did you watch TV last night?

Notice that it doesn´t matter how long ago the event is: it can be a few minutes or seconds in the past, or millions of years in the past. Also it does not matter how long the event is. It can be a few milliseconds (car explosion) or millions of years (Jurassic period).

We use the past simple tense when:

the event is in the past the event is completely finished we say (or understand) the time and/or place of the event

EXERCISE 1 -Write the past form of the verbs in parenthesis.

1 I _____________to the mall after school. (go)

2 My brother _____________a bear an hour ago. (see)

3 Mike _____________ his grandmother last night? (Visit)

4 Alex did not _____________ last weekend. (Come)

5 Judy and Liz _____________ at last month's meeting? (Be)

6 We _____________ not happy after the sad ending. (Be)

7 _____________ you see Jody's new dog yesterday? (Do)

8 Sorry, I _____________ hear you at the door. (Do)

9 I _____________ English for two years. (Study)

10 What _____________ you eat for lunch yesterday? (Do)

PAST SIMPLE, EXERCISE 2

Change the verb into the past simple

1) She (bring) ______________ some chocolates to the party.

2) I (hear) ______________ a new song on the radio.

3) I (read) ______________ three books last week.

4) They (speak) ______________ French to the waitress.

5) He (understand) ______________ during the class, but now he doesn't understand.

6) I (forget) ______________ to buy some milk.

25) He (feel) ______________ terrible after eating too much.

Page 22: English Pre Course

FUTURE SIMPLE TENSE

I WILL SING

The future simple tense is often called will, because we make the future simple tense with the modal auxiliary will.

How do we make the Future Simple Tense?

The structure of the future simple tense is:

subject + auxiliary WILL + main verb

I

invariable base form

will sing

For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb. For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary verb.

Look at these example sentences with the future simple tense:

  subject auxiliary verb main verb  

+ I will   open the door.

+ You will   finish before me.

- She will not be at school tomorrow.

- We will not leave yet.

Page 23: English Pre Course

? Will you   arrive early?

? Will they   want dinner?

When we use the future simple tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:

I will I'll

you will you'll

he willshe willit will

he'llshe'llit'll

we will we'll

they will they'll

For negative sentences in the future simple tense, we contract with won't, like this:

I will not I won't

you will not you won't

he will notshe will notit will not

he won'tshe won'tit won't

we will not we won't

they will not they won't

Page 24: English Pre Course

How do we use the future simple tense?

No plan

We use the future simple tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking.

Look at these examples:

Hold on. I'll get a pen. We will see what we can do to help you. Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.

In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision is made at the time of speaking.

We often use the future simple tense with the verb to think before it:

I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I think I will have a holiday next year. I don't think I'll buy that car.

Prediction

We often use the future simple tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.

Here are some examples:

It will rain tomorrow. People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century. Who do you think will get the job?

Page 25: English Pre Course

Be

When the main verb is be, we can use the future simple tense even if we have a firm plan or decision before speaking.

Examples:

I'll be in London tomorrow. I'm going shopping. I won't be very long. Will you be at work tomorrow?

EXERCISE 1 -

Write a statement and a question in the correct form.

1) (they/come) tomorrow? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2) When (you/back)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3) If you lose your job, what (you/do)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4) In your opinion (she/be) a good teacher?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

5) What time (the sun/set) today? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

6) (she/get) the job, do you think? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7) (David/be) at home this evening? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 26: English Pre Course

8) What (the weather/be) like tomorrow? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

9) There's someone at the door (you/get) it? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

10) How (he/get) here?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

PREPOSITIONS OF TIME

Prepositions of time - here's a list of the time words that need 'on', 'in', 'at' and some that don't need any preposition. Be careful - many students of English use 'on' with months (it should be 'in'), or put a preposition before 'next' when we don't need one.
