Writing Warmup:
Last week, we spent some time reviewing the parts of speech you need to know when thinking about a sentence's grammar or writing complex sentences.
Please answer the following questions in the comments section below.
1) What do you think you know about parts of speech?
2) What puzzles (confuses) you about parts of speech?
3) What would you like to know more about parts of speech?
1. I think I know how to tell the difference between the different parts of speech. 2. The different exceptions there are to the basic rules of it are what puzzles me about parts of speech. 3. Whatever the teacher has to teach, I'm willing to try to learn and understand it.
ReplyDelete1. What I think I know about parts of speech is that there are 7 parts of speech. I also think I know that nouns is a person, place, thing or idea,
ReplyDelete2. What confuses me about the parts of speech is articles, prepositions and conjunctions.
3. I would like to know more about adverbs and adjectives and to be able to understand prepositions, articles and conjunctions.
Prepositions and conjunctions puzzle me sometimes as well.
DeleteI think I know how too identify and use most of the different parts of speech in a sentence. Something that puzzles me about parts of speech is how to tell the difference between an adverb and an adjective when there are multiple in a sentence. Something about parts of speech I would like to know is if there are any other parts of speech that we haven't learned about already.
ReplyDeleteI think I know how most parts of speech works such as verbs are action words and pronouns are words that take the place of a noun.
ReplyDeleteI do not think anything is puzzling me at the moment about parts of speech.
I would like to work more with prepositions and articles.
1) I think that I understand most of the parts of speech. I understand how nouns and verbs can be turned into adjectives because of the following noun.
ReplyDelete2) Sometimes prepositions confuse me, I sometimes get confused with adverbs. I mix the two up a lot.
3) I would like to get more information on adverbs and prepositions.
I agree with you Corey, sometimes I also get confused by prepositions.
DeleteI would also like more info on adverbs.
DeleteI also get confused with adverbs because I mix them up with verbs.
DeleteAdverbs and prepositions still get me..... I would like to get some more info too.
Delete1. I think that I can identify most nouns that pop up in text. Most verbs I think I can identify as well. I think I have most all of the parts of speech down, but sometimes get simple words mixed up.
ReplyDelete2. The biggest thing that confuses me with grammar is when words switch their part of speech. For example the other day in class there was a sentence with "skating rink" in it, so I thought that skating rink was a noun and they were both a noun because its a place, but skating was an adjective to the noun rink.
3. I'd like to know more about how parts of speech switch like what I put in part 2.
I also get confused when words switch there parts of speech.
Delete1. I know that sometimes nouns are adjectives when they are used to describe other nouns such as with the words football field, football is a noun but it is describing what type of field it is so it's an adjective.
ReplyDelete2. Sometimes I get prepositions and articles confused.
3. I would like to know more on how articles and prepositions are used.
1)I think I know that parts of speech help reveal more about a sentence and they give you a better understanding of the sentence, and words can have multiple different parts of speech depending on the sentence.
ReplyDelete2)One part of speech that confuses me are adjectives.
3)I think I would like to know more about how to identify different parts of speech.
1) I think I know how to identify most parts of speech such as: adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and prepositions.
ReplyDelete2) The most puzzling part for me is identifying adverbs because I get them mixed up with verbs.
3) I would like to spend more time practicing the parts of speech and eventually I know I will understand all of it.
I also get confused with adverbs and regular verbs.
DeleteAdverbs and verbs mix me up sometimes too. Good response Tim. :)
Delete1. I really didn't learn about different parts of speech on North Haven so I guess I've kinda just went for it and hoped I got it right. 2. I sometimes still get confused just trying to figure out what part of speech a word is. 3. I would like to be able to just look at a word and know what part of speech it would be.
ReplyDeleteI know that some words can have two different parts of speech, such as adjectives+articles. What I have trouble with is preposition because sometimes it may seem like a preposition but it's really not. Theres nothing I would like to know more about parts of speech, i'm fine with what I know.
ReplyDelete1.I understand most of the differences between parts of speech. 2. What puzzles me still is prepositions and conjunctions. 3. And I'd like to understand them completely
ReplyDeletesame here, I also would like to completely understand them
DeleteI also get confused on prepositions. Telling them apart from other parts of speech.
