To communicate effectively, you must understand

the different roles that words play in sentences. The

parts of speech – verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives,

adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, articles, and inter-

jections – are the very building blocks of the English

language. Lots of folks find these labels confusing

– this program will help you make sense of them!

yourself – when you’re done, you’ll have a notebook

on English grammar that you can refer back to again

and again.
