September 20th-24th
Grade 9 English
We have been reviewing parts of speech. We have done the following:
Noun is a part of speech that names a person, place, thing or idea.
Verb is a part of speech that names an action or a state-of-being (something exists).
Pronoun is a part of speech that replaces a noun.
Adjective is a part of speech that modifies (limits the meaning) of a noun or pronoun.
Adverb is a part of speech that modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb.
Conjunction is a part of speech that joins two words, two phrases or two clauses.
Article is a part of speech that determines whether a noun is general or specific (there are only three articles: "a", "an" or "the").
Preposition is a part of speech that begins a phrase or joins a group of words to the rest of the sentence.
A phrase is a group of words that go together for meaning.
A clause is a sentence or part of a sentence containing a subject and a predicate that could be joined to another clause.
We shall also read another chapter from Letters from D and answer questions on the chapter.
We shall be doing more root words with examples, to build our vocabulary. This week we shall do:
