Online Treasure Hunt

 

I.                  Introduction

 

 

I’m encouraging you all to witness and read my site. Since, I’m an English major; I’m very interested to make this online resource. I’m making this for all of you who likes to access about English language. Just make a quick preview and you will learn more about English! Try to encounter the Parts of Speech as I will transmit the information.

 

Parts of speech are not the most exiting topic in grammar, but the study of them does provide us with a useful shared vocabulary so that later in more complex and interesting topics we will be able to rely on shared vocabulary and with shared meaning. Parts of speech are the fundamental building blocks of traditional grammar. You must learn them thoroughly in order to progress successfully through reading some links in the computer or books.

 

We would learn about the eight parts of speech and its meaning. The parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjection. I know some of you have the idea or fundamentals about them. I’m eager to lend you the information so that you can also practice and review them. By one way or another, we could learn together by simply internalizing the lesson.
