Grammar is the area that puts fears into the hearts of both students and teachers. However, when it is viewed logically then there won’t be many difficulties. The teacher should know that he/she is not a grammar guide book yet he/she still should not lose the students trust in them by not knowing anything. Each word of the sentence can be further classified according to its meaning and purpose. There are eight main parts of speech in English: Noun: it can be name of a person, a place or a thing • Example: teacher, London, classroom, beauty, family.
