Description
In this course, the seven-plus hours of video lessons provide us with a close-up look at the words and word groups that constitute the English language. These lessons are accompanied by 202 exercises and the answers to those exercises.In part 1 of this series of lessons, we study the eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The parts of speech provide us a word-level approach to studying English grammar. Later, we will see how the concepts that apply at the level of the single word apply to larger word groups as well.In part 2 we study sentence structure. Once we've established a firm understanding of subjects and verbs, we can build on that understanding by learning to write and identify simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.In part 3 we study the nine English phrases: noun, verb, prepositional, infinitive, gerund, participial, adjective, appositive, and absolute. Some of these phrases appear naturally in our writing; others can appear in our writing only after we've learned to create them.In part 4 we study punctuation: end marks, commas, semicolons, colons, apostrophes, quotation marks, italics, parentheses, brackets, hyphens, dashes, and ellipses. With some punctuation marks, our goal is correctness; but with others, our goal is to use punctuation to add style and voice to our writing.
