STARLING SMART LEARNING ~ English Grammar

Grammar is the science that deals with the correct use of language both in conversation and writing.So,if we want to excel in any language, we must have profound knowledge in Grammar. We all speak and what we speak is called the speech. We use different words to speak and these words have different functions to do in our speech.This is called Parts of speech. There are eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence. An individual word can function as more than one part of speech when used in different circumstances. Understanding parts of speech is essential for determining the correct definition of a word when using the dictionary. As we all know, there are 26 letters in the English Alphabet.The letters are divided into two parts. VOWELS A E I O U CONSONANTS B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y Z These letters make words,words make sentences and sentences make paragraphs. Let's now learn the eight parts of speech. 1.
