The (Pleasant) Parts of Speech Page
No big deal! This is just an (ugh) vocabulary lesson--as if you didn't have enough of those already!
What this vocabulary lesson includes are the names of various kinds of words we use in English. Each part of English has a name.
Understanding the meanings of these words, can help in communicating with teachers:
You: Yo! Teacher guy! Waddaya mean "reflexive pronoun?" Huh?
Teacher guy: I am so glad you asked, dear student. And as endless teachers before me have said, "It'll mean more if you look it up." Fortunately you have at your disposal a fantastic resource--The Wonderful Writing Skills Unhandbook.
Not to mention having more fun at parties:
You: Hi there, gorgeous!
Attractive Person: Get lost, creep!
You: Aww, don't be like that. I just thought you'd like to discuss reflexive/intensive pronouns.
Attractive Person: Hmmmm...you interest me strangely. Shall we practice parts of speech at my place or yours?
You: (under your breath) Thank you WWSU!
It's all true! All you have to do is click on "Reflexive/Intensive Pronouns" below, follow the directions and soon you will become Teacher Guy's best student as wll as the number one party guy in the neighborhood. Sort of...
Actually, feel free to click on any of the terms listed here.
