PART 1. TEACHING SLIDES (TWO-PAGE CLASSROOM SUMMARY)

SLIDE 1. THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH

The eight parts of speech classify words according to their grammatical functions in a sentence.

SLIDE 1.

•      Parts of Speech

•      Functions

•      Examples

 

PARTS OF SPEECH	FUNCTIÓNS	EXAMPLES
Noun	Names people, places, things or ideas.	Education
Pronoun	Replaces a noun.	They
Verb	Expresses an action or state.	Learn
Adjective	Describes a noun.	Intelligent
Adverb	Modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb.	Carefully
Preposition	Shows relationships between words.	In, on, at
Conjunction	Connects words or clauses.	Although, and
Interjection	Expresses sudden emotion.	Wow!

 

Example: “Wow! She carefully placed the beautiful book on the table because it was important.”

Wow = interjection • She = pronoun • carefully = adverb • placed = verb • beautiful = adjective • book = noun • on = preposition • because = conjunction.

SLIDE 2. 

WOULD RATHER – WOULD PREFER – IF ONLY

STRUCTURE	USE	EXAMPLE
Would rather + base verb Would rather + subject + past simple	Expresses a preference between actions; with a different subject, use past simple.	I would rather study than watch TV. I would rather you stayed home.
Would prefer + noun / toinfinitive Would prefer + object + to-infinitive	Expresses a preference, often in a more formal way.	I would prefer coffee. She would prefer to travel. I would prefer you to arrive early.

 

STRUCTURE	USE	EXAMPLE
If only + past simple If only + past perfect If only + would + base verb	Expresses a present wish, a past regret or a desired change.	If only I had more time. If only I had studied harder. If only it would stop raining.
