DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING STAGES:

BEST GRAMMAR JOKE

How and why we developed the different parts of speech.

PARTS OF SPEECH 1.NOUN, 2.PRONOUN, 3.VERB, 4.PREPOSITION, 5.ADJECTIVE, 6.ADVERB, 7.CONJUNCTION, 8.INTERJECTION THESE ARE THE JOBS THAT WORDS PERFORM IN A PHRASE. PARTS OF SPEECH

SOME WORDS DO MOSTLY ONE JOB, ALL THE TIME I, ME, YOU, HE, SHE, THEY, IT, IS, AM, ARE, WAS, WERE, OF, TO, FOR, FROM, CAT, DOG, FREEDOM …..ETC.

That is why at an elementary level you learned to identify certain words as certain parts of speech. CAT = NOUN BOOK = NOUN That is also why there are a few WORD LISTS which we will memorize. I, YOU, HE, SHE, IT, THEY, WE The memorized words act as KEYS to figuring out the rest of the sentence.

ARTICLE ADJECTIVES

WE ARE THE ARTICLE ADJECTIVES: A, AN, THE TEENY, TINY ARTICLE ADJECTIVES: A, AN, THE ARTICLE ADJECTIVES

HOWEVER, YOUR BRAINS ARE NOW DEVELOPED ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE THAT MOST WORDS CAN DO MORE THAN ONE JOB.
