Definition assignment

ENGLISH GRAMMAR DEFINITIONS

Noun: is the word that gives names or refers to all type of things, feelings, objects, animals, states, events etc. Nouns can be a subject or an object of a verb and their meaning of action could change depending on the adjective.

Examples: The tall man standing on the wall. The tall man is the subject and he is the one executing an specific action defined by the verb.

The piano was excellent played. Here the object would be the piano also defined by a verb.

The subject is the principal character or reason of who somebody is talking in a phrase

Verbs (regular e irregular): they are the words that refer to and action or a state and their use is essential to our language because they describe the real meaning of what we do or feel in past, present and future.

The main difference in between a regular and irregular verb is that one, the regular has the same ending for all verbs once in past tense or past participle which is the “ed” ending and the other has variable endings in past tense or past participle form, there is no rule for these last.

The best way to remember them always is to read and check them in the list every time is possible.

Adjectives: Adjectives are used to describe color, material, shape, size, amount, price, , , personality, weight, temperature, weight, age,(race or origin). They go before a noun and have direct relation with the verb to be. For example

My bike is brand new. (Adjective related to “to be” in this case “is”)

I once knew a very polite man. (Adjective polite before the noun man)

Adverbs: These are used to change or modify the state or dimension of adjectives, verbs or another adverb.

Examples:

My dog grows quickly (related to verb)
