This unit dealt with grammar and parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, infinitives, gerunds, articles, and conjunctions. I only knew the basic components of a sentence however, now I understand it much more in depth. Nouns describe a person, place, thing, or concept. There are five different types of nouns: common (not capitalized), Proper (always capitalized), Compound (two nouns joined), Abstract (something that is experienced like an idea), and Collective (naming a group of individuals as one general term). Nouns can be further broken down into countable and uncountable. Countable nouns are people, creatures, things preceded by a/an/ the. Uncountable nouns like music can't be pluralized. Verbs describe an action (things that can be physically seen) or state (seem). A verb can be transitive (followed directly by an object) or Intransitive (not directly followed by an object instead does an action). There are also Auxiliary verbs (such as do) which are helping verbs that can form questions, negative statements, short answers, tenses. Adjectives describe a noun. There are comparative adjectives (-er) and superlatives (-est). Some exceptions are good and bad. Good (bad) becomes better (worse) for comparative, and best (worst) for superlatives. Adverbs describe a verb and add meaning to an action. The five main types of Adverbs are: Manner, Place, Time, degree, and Frequency. Preposition shows the relationship between a noun and a pronoun and some other words in the sentence ( time, place, movement, others). Pronouns take the place of a noun. Pronouns can be further broken down into personal(subject/ object), reflexive (myself), relative ( which/where), and possessive(Mine). There is a major difference between possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, it's ours) and possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, it's, our). Infinitives (to go) and gerunds are used as a noun(-ing). Article always precede a noun and can be further broken down into definite (the) and indefinite (a, and, an). Definite is used Before singular and plural nouns when the noun is particular or mentioning something for the first time. Indefinite is used with singular nouns or when mentioning something an additional time. Conjunction joins a word or a sentence for example using the word 'and'.
