Categories of TEFL English Words

        For most of us, the thought of English grammar is enough to make us shudder. Even to most experienced English teachers there are aspects of English grammar that we cannot understand, and some grammar problems that we have difficulty explaining. But not many people realize that English grammar is not just about verbs and tenses. Vocabulary also has a grammar because words function differently in sentences. So, to help you understand this, let's look at the different parts of speech in TEFL English.

        Noun

        A noun is a word for something; it is an "it". Nouns can be concrete (book) or abstract (love) or collective (lion). Nouns can be countable (pen) or uncountable (sugar). Singular nouns are preceded by determiners, but plural nouns are not. Some plural nouns are irregular (person). Whether it is countable or uncountable will determine what determiners can be used with the noun.

        Pronoun

        Pronouns are words used to replace nouns. Used when the noun is known, usually to avoid repeating the noun. Personal pronouns are the easiest to identify, like he or she or it. Pronouns can also be possessive (mine) and reflexive (myself).

        Verb

        Verbs describe actions. Verbs change form according to tense, number, and person. There are many irregular verbs that cause difficulties for learners. Transitive verbs require an object, while intransitive verbs do not

        Adjective

        Adjectives are words that provide additional information to describe a noun. Adjectives can be used before a noun (attributive) or after a noun (predicate). Adjectives are used for comparison: comparative is used to compare two nouns (larger), superlative is used to compare three or more nouns (most expensive).

        Adverb

        Adverbs are words used to describe adjectives or verbs.It usually ends with--ly (soon). There are many kinds of adverbs of time, manner, and place. preposition.A preposition is used with a noun or pronoun to express its relationship to other things. Prepositions can describe the place (opposite), the way (by), and the time (Sunday).

        Combine

        Conjunctions are words that connect phrases, clauses, or sentences. Coordinating conjunctions connect items of equal value (or, and), while subordinating conjunctions connect subordinating conjunctions to the main clause (until, before).

        Qualifiers

        A determiner is a word that introduces a noun. Qualifiers are also called articles. The determiner is the definite article while the determiner a is the indefinite article.

        In short, these are the different parts of speech in English. English learners often have problems in word classes because they don't realize that they are as part of grammar as tenses, so TEFL changes depending on the situation. A thorough understanding of parts of speech and their inflections is the first step in mastering English grammar.
