Parts of Speech...

I don't expect anybody to understand parts of speech yet.  Parts of speech are names of categories that we use for words.  We use these names to talk about English grammar (typical patterns) the way math teachers talk about algebra with an x or a y.  Parts of speech are things to remember, not exactly understand.

So far, I introduced nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

These educational videos help children remember parts of speech.  I understand and respect that YOU are an adult.  I like to use songs when I want to remember things.  If it helps you, use it.  If it doesn't, don't.

Please change somethings gonna happen to "something is going to happen."  Verbs change to tell you about the time things happen (Verb tenses.  We studied=past, We study every day=simple present.  We are studying now.  We will study tomorrow=future.)  Verbs tell what something does or what is.
