As a elemntery school teacher, I was familiar with most of the content in this unit. I have taught the different parts of speech to many students over the years. However it was good to consolidate and reinforce my understanding of parts of speech contained within a sentence.
My knowledge of verbs has improved. It was the first time had come across transitive, intransitive verbs and gerunds.The verb, of course, is the heart of a sentence; every sentence has one.
If you can locate the verb within a sentence(transitive,intransitive,auxillary) you are in a better position to disect the other parts of a speech within a sentence. For an ESL student it must be a daunting pospect leaning the differnet rules about verb tenses. It is for me and I am a native speaker!
