Sentence

Sentence is a group of words that contains at least a subject and a predicate. We sometimes find a long group of words but it does not have a subject and a predicate. We can say it is not a sentence because it does not have a subject and a predicate. It is just a phrase. To make it clearer, have a look the examples below and identify whether they are sentences or phrases.

Preposition

The last part of English speech is preposition. This material, I think, is really vital to learn because we cannot put wrong preposition in a certain word. Each word has its own preposition. Moreover, when we find the completion test that is required us to complete by using preposition. How can we answer correctly if we do not know preposition. Therefore, we have to be able recognize what appropriate preposition to complete the word.

Interjection

Are you ever surprised? When you hear that your relatives getting an accident, what you say? Have you ever said ‘oh my god!’, ‘dear me!’? Look at the conversation below!

Jenny          : Do you know why John did not attend the class this morning, Bell?

Bello           : I heard he got an accident five days ago.

Jenny          : Oh my good! What accident he got?

Bello           : He fell down from the high tree and he broke his right leg.

                     Now, he is in the hospital. Didn’t you know it?

Jenny          : No. Nobody told me. I just hear from you.

                     How if we go to hospital to visit him?

Bello           : That's a good idea.

                     Let's get going.

You see the bold expression in the conversation above? It is an interjection.

Verb indicates what someone or something does or in another word it can be called as action word. There are many things that we will discuss if we talk about verb deeply. However, this will not tell you all about it because it will be discussed more in the next posting. It does not mean that this is not important to learn. Here I will tell you kinds of verbs.

Adverb is a word used for describing verb, adjective and adverb itself. But here I will tell you more about it. It may be used to show time, manner, place and so on. We can ask question by using question words how, when, and where. Look at the examples below!
