This unit introduced the simplest form of language structure as a sentence, and then dissected parts of a sentence (known as parts of speech). Parts of speech include nouns, adjectives, articles, verbs, adverbs, gerunds, pronouns and conjunctions. For native English speakers such as myself, the grammatical rules around parts of speech are not things that we consciously think about when we are speaking or writing. Instead, we just know what "sounds right." However, when teaching English to non-native speakers, it is important to understand how to identify how specific words function in a sentence, and be able to describe the rules that dictate which words are used where and why. This unit gave a very thorough overview of each parts of speech function, as well as the basic rules each follows. As with any language rule, many exceptions exist and in this case there are times that we will have to encourage our students to simply memorize and become familiar with what is correct.
