Gerunds, like infinitives, look lke verbs, but they

+ Playing volleyball at the beach is fun,
("Playing" is the gerund and functions as the
subject)
like eating cold pizza. ("like" is the verb;
‘eating" is the gerund.)
ike" Is the verb;
Gerunds are often confused with verbs. Because
gerunds take an “ing” ending, some students,
‘mistake them for verbs in the continuous form. If
you don't see the verb "be" in front of a word with
an “ing ending, its probably a gerund, For
‘example, which sentence has a gerund?:
1. He thinks that learning English is important
forhis career.
2. This moming, they're meeting their friends at
the airport.
Hf you said the first sentence, you're correct! The

The Eight Parts of Speech
Now that you have almost finished the first three
levels of this program, ! want you to think about
the eight parts of speech. When you study a
language, it helps to label the different parts of a
sentence or a question with the following terms:
Nouns
Pronouns
Verbs
Adjectives
Adverbs
Conjunctions
Prepositions
Interjections
This is the classic list of words that teachers use
when talking about the eight parts of speech, but |
also like to mention articles as well because theyare so important in English.
If you still need help understanding what these
words do in a sentence, go back to the lessons in
which they are explained.
Nouns: These are words that function as subject, |
objects, and objects of prepositions. A noun isa
‘person, a place, a thing, or an idea,
jouns: These are words that
lace of a noun. Words like “he,
/"his," and pronouns. It important to know the |
differences among subject, object, |
possessive, and reflexive pronouns. |
these words describe the act
action in a sentence. The key to |
understanding English well is to focus on the
way verbs change. You have probably
already noticed that most of the lessons here
are about verbs and the various tenses in
which they are found.
Adjectives: Use adjectives to provide |
information about nouns. Adjectives describe
color, size, degree, depth, quality, e
‘Adverbs: These are words that you use to
‘describe verbs, adjectives, and other
ladverbs
‘Conjunetions: Joi id words together
with the use of conjunctions, There are many |
different kinds, but the two basic groups of
‘conjunctions are coordinating and
‘subordinating.
Prepositions: These small yet important ‘|
|
words indicate position, location, and
relationships,PROCESS RCEHCESCSSHGRREFF"
‘exclamations are interjections. the: }
words such as "wow," “hey,” and "yeah." |
‘This is the least important among the eight
parts of speech. I's much more important,
for instance, to learn about ai
