Good communication skills are essential.
The power of the word will make you influential.
We need to know the
eight parts of speech
.
Master the language, go as high as you can reach.
A
noun
is a person place or thing;
An idea in my mind that makes me dream.
A
verb
is a word that always shows action;
Like
divide
,
multiply
,
add
, and do subtraction.
An
adjective
always describes a noun,
Like a
big
,
red
truck you can drive around.
An
adverb
usually ends in –ly;
Clearly
a verb is what it modifies.
A
pronoun
takes the place of a noun;
Like when
she
,
he
, and
they
walk around.
Conjunctions
connect phrases, clauses, and words:
And
,
but
,
or
,
nor
, and
yet
haven’t you heard?
Here’s a word that’s definitely on a mission.
Let me give you some examples of a
preposition
:
In
,
on
,
from
,
to
, and
around
;
During
,
after
,
up
and even
down
.
Now we need to learn about
interjections
,
A word with enthusiasm, lots of expression
Like:
Stop!
,
Go!
Wait!
Yes!
and
No!
Wow!
Great!
Awesome!
Uh-oh!
Now that you know the eight parts of speech,
Master the language, go as high as you can reach!
