RESUME BASIC WRITING

Use part of speech in English writing

Language is a means of communication it can be in spoken language, in a writen text, in speech

or in teaching-learning process. In english languange, we recognize the types of words or parts
of speech consisting of ; Noun, Pronuou, Verb, Adverb, Adjective, Conjuction, Preposition, and
Interjection. Each element has its own rules to form a sentence according to its function and
position in a word. The order of each element in a sentence can change its position accordingly
with the rules of forming sentences in english.

1. Noun

Nouns is the name of a person, place or thing. Types of nouns: common nouns, proper noun,
abstract nouns, colective noun, singular and plural etc).

Example: Mr.Jhon lives in Canada in a big house.

Mr.jhon and Canada is proper nouns. house is common noun because Proper nouns name of
person, place or thing specific and always a capital letter.

2. Pronouns

A pronouns is a word that takes the place of a noun. In addition to personal pronouns, there
are several other types of pronouns: Reflexive pronoun is formed by adding - self or - selves to
certain personal pronouns.

Examples of reflexive pronouns are myself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves,
yourself, and yourselves. The sentence, “I found it myself,” contains the personal pronoun I and
the reflexive pronoun myself. Interrogative pronoun is used to ask a question. These pronouns
are which, who,whom, and whose. Demonstrative pronoun is used to point out a specific
person or thing. These pronouns include this, that, these, and those. In the sentence, “Theresa,
is this yours?” this is the demonstrative pronoun, and yours is the personal pronoun. Indefinite
pronoun often does not refer to a specific or definite person or thing. It usually does not have a
definite or specific antecedent as a personal pronoun does. In the sentence, “Everybody will
select another to help with everything ” the three italicized words are all indefinite pronouns
since they take the place of a noun and do not refer to a specific or definite person or thing.
3.Adjective

Adjective modifies (qualifies or limits the meaning of) a noun or a pronoun. It answers to
the .

questions, What kind? Which one(s)? How many? and How much? Carrie read an important
story. (What kind of story?) The recent article has that information. (Which article?) Kent owns
those surfboards. (Which surfboards?) Wendy paid fourty dollars for the jacket. (How many
dollars?) Much space was devoted to her artwork. (How much space?)
An adjective can come before or after the noun or pronoun, and it describes: Older cards are
found on the table. (Which cards?) Tall players and intelligent coaches were interviewed by the
interested reporter. (Which players? Which coaches? Which reporter?) Tired and hungry , the
campers reached the lodge. (What kind of campers?) The campers, tired and hungry , reached
the lodge. (What kind of campers?)
There are several types of adjectives: Proper adjective is formed from a proper noun. Examples
are Italian bread, Herculean strength, Midas touch, Canadian sunset Compound adjective is a
word composed of two or more words. Sometimes these words are hyphenated. Examples are
landmark decision, black-and-blue mark, hometown hero.

4.Verb
There are several types of verbs namely the action verb, the linking verb, and the helping
verb.

Action Verb
Action verb tells what action (often a physical action) a subject is performing, has performed, or
will perform.

My father delivers packages to department stores each day. Louie bowled a perfect game last
night. Suzanne skated across the rink in Central Park. Turn at the next corner, Noel. Oscar will
help Petra with the project.
Linking Verb
Linking verb connects (or links) a subject to a noun or an adjective in the predicate. The most
common linking verbs are the forms of the verb “to be” ( is, are, was, were, been, being, am )
and appear , become, feel, grow, look, remain, seem, smell, sound, stay, taste, and turn. My
sister is a nurse. (The linking verb, is, connects the subject, sister, with the predicate
nominative, nurse).
My sister is studying to become a nurse. (In this sentence the word is is a helping verb for the
main verb, studying. Is does not function as a linking verb.)
He appeared exhausted. (The linking verb, appeared, links the subject, He, with the predicate
adjective, exhausted)
He appeared at the event. (In this sentence the verb, appeared, is an action verb, not a linking
verb).

Helping Verbs

Helping verb assists the main verb in a sentence. There can be more than one helping verb in
each sentence. In a questioning (interrogative) sentence, the helping verb is usually separated
from the main verb. The most common helping verbs are am, is, are, was, were, be, been,
being, has, had, have, do,does, did, may, might, must, can, could, shall, should, will, and would.
The italicized word in each sentence below is the helping verb. The underlined
word is the main verb.
The members are going to the city tomorrow morning.
Are the members going to the city tomorrow morning?
5.Adverb

Adverb is a word that modifies or qualifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Many
adverbs end in - ly .Adverbs answer any of these four questions: Where? When? How? To what
extent? Adverbs make writing more specific and more exact. Here are the following adverbs
that do not end in-ly.

6.Preposition

Preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and another
word in the sentence.

The man swam under the bridge. (Under connects the idea of swam and bridge) She walked
down the aisle. (Down connects walked and aisle) Julie walked around the campus and toward
town. (Around connects walked and campus. Toward connects walked and town) The most
commonly used prepositions: aboard, around, about, etc.

7.Conjunction

Conjunction connects words or group of word. Coordinating conjunction is a single

connecting word. These seven words consists of for, and,nor, but, or, yet, and so. The boys and
girls worked at the fair. (And joins the names boys and girls) Paula or Jeannine can go with you
tonight. (Or joins the names Paula and Jeannine) I would like to go to the concert with you, but I
will be busy tonight. (But joins two sentences or complete ideas) We must leave early so we can
get to the wedding reception on time. (So joins two sentences or two complete ideas).

8.Interjection.
 Interjection is a word that expresses strong feeling or emotion, usually comes at the
beginning of the sentence, often followed by an exclamation point (!) when the emotion is
strong or a comma (,) when the emotion is mild. Include one interjection in sentence when the
point is need to be emphasized. Overuse of interjection made the writing loses its power and
effectiveness.

Example analysis: rina's bag very beautiful (wrong)

Because the word rina should be capitalized because it is a proper nouns (specific) and it should
not be added with s, therefore rina is a singular not a plural. so the correct sentence is ' Rina
bag very beautiful'.
