well hi it's Jan at learn English with
0:08
be Global and today we're going to learn
0:11
about eight major word groups in the
0:14
English
0:16
language this may be a brand new topic
0:19
to some of you or this may be a good
0:24
review why should we learn about word
0:28
groups well identifying word groups in a
0:34
sentence it secures a correct
0:37
understanding of the meaning of the
0:41
sentence for this video I'm going to use
0:47
traveling as the context for all of our
0:52
examples because I imagine that since
0:56
you're trying to learn English you would
0:59
like to travel
1:01
someday and I hope that it will be
1:06
relevant to you as we learn these word
1:09
groups let's begin what's our first word
1:13
group
1:15
nouns nouns are
1:18
persons
1:20
places things or
1:25
ideas the following are some examples of
1:28
nouns the first example manners are
1:33
important when
1:36
traveling the
1:38
plane
1:40
flew
1:42
Sarah read the
1:45
signs the Grand Canyon is a beautiful
1:51
place so where are the nouns and what
1:55
are the nouns well manners here is a
1:59
noun because it's an
2:01
idea manners are important when
2:06
traveling the plane is a noun because
2:09
it's a
2:11
thing Sarah is a noun because this word
2:17
is a person represents a
2:19
person and the Grand Canyon is a noun
2:23
because it is a thing it is a place and
2:27
a
2:28
thing
2:30
so what's our second word group it's
2:34
verbs so verbs show
2:38
action here are some examples of verbs
2:42
in a
2:43
sentence the flight attendant talked to
2:48
the
2:50
passenger I see many taxis in New
2:56
York they have been to get their
3:03
passport so we're looking for the action
3:06
going on in the sentence when we look to
3:08
identify verbs so the first sentence the
3:13
action is happening from who the flight
3:17
attendant she's talking she did talk
3:21
right the action in this sentence is
3:25
coming from the person seeing I see
3:28
that's the actions
3:31
seeing and the last one they have been
3:34
to get their passport and even though
3:36
this is in the past it's the action of
3:40
going it's just in the
3:43
past so that's what a verb is a verb
3:49
shows
3:51
action so what is our third word group
3:56
it's pronouns and pronouns replace Place
4:01
nouns some examples of
4:04
pronouns are he the man is flying with
4:11
her the
4:13
woman or they are checking into it a
4:20
hotel or
4:22
it is why I travel it represents an idea
4:30
Adventure so we'll review that he is
4:35
replacing a noun the the man remember we
4:38
talked about a man is a person place
4:43
thing or idea so he the pronoun is just
4:47
replacing that uh person so you can
4:51
speak faster pronouns are great like
4:54
that so he is flying with her the woman
4:59
her is also a
5:01
pronoun
5:04
representing the woman the noun the
5:07
woman so instead of saying the man is
5:09
flying with the woman you can just say
5:13
he is flying with her much quicker right
5:17
so that's all these uh these word groups
5:21
represent they represents a group of
5:24
people more than
5:26
one they are checking in into it a hotel
5:32
so they instead of saying that group of
5:36
people every single time you can just
5:38
say they they the
5:41
pronoun replaces the noun those people
5:46
are checking in to it a hotel so you can
5:52
say they are checking into the hotel or
5:57
you can say they are just checking into
5:59
to it meaning the hotel the hotel is the
6:04
noun right it
6:07
represents the noun replaces the noun
6:11
actually uh both of those now it down
6:15
here we looked at earlier it this this
6:18
pronoun it uh represents and replaces
6:23
the
6:24
idea of Adventure and Adventure is an
6:28
idea that is is remember a noun nouns
6:31
can be ideas so Adventure is an idea
6:35
Adventure is why I travel or you can
6:39
just say it is why I
6:42
travel and those are pronouns word group
6:47
it's
6:49
adjectives adjectives describe a noun or
6:53
a
6:54
pronoun here are some examples Colorado
6:58
has a
7:00
gorgeous mountain range it's
7:04
describing Mount Rushmore shows four US
7:10
presidents I am happy I drove
7:15
here so we're looking for the part of
7:18
the sentence that describes the noun or
7:22
the pronoun right so if we find um some
7:27
uh nouns then that will help us find our
7:32
adjectives so Colorado has gorgeous
7:36
Mountain a gorgeous mountain range so a
7:38
mountain range is a group of mountains
7:41
so it's uh it's being described as
7:44
gorgeous as beautiful it is describing
7:47
it so I'm using my green marker here and
7:50
maybe that'll help you remember you know
7:52
Green is a color and it connects to
7:56
describing things when you describe
7:59
something something or use an adjective
8:01
you use colors or you use what something
8:05
looks like in appearance for the second
8:09
example Mount Rushmore shows four US
8:14
presidents well this is describing the
8:17
number of presidents that you see on
8:19
Mount Rushmore so that's another
8:23
descriptor for your adjective so your
8:27
adjective is for
8:30
Mount Rushmore shows four US presidents
8:33
on the first one Colorado has gorgeous a
8:37
gorgeous mountain
8:38
range
8:40
so the adjective we know is
8:44
gorgeous it's describing the mountain
8:47
range four is describing Mount
8:52
Rushmore the third example here I am
8:55
happy I drove here I am happy happy is
9:02
describing the
9:04
noun the pronoun I am happy I is the
9:10
pronoun which we learned last time is
9:12
replacing the noun so adjectives also
9:17
describe emotions they describe all
9:20
kinds of things adjectives are great
9:22
words uh because they make our stories
9:27
and our reading so much more colorful
9:30
so those are
9:33
adjectives well our next word group is
9:38
adverbs the adverbs describe a
9:43
verb an adjective or another
9:48
adverb so we talked about adjectives
9:52
last time
9:53
describing
9:56
nouns adverbs describe
10:00
verbs adjectives or another adverb now I
10:05
know this is may seem a little confusing
10:08
so we're going to look at some examples
10:11
and then we're going to do another
10:12
little bit of examples because this gets
10:15
a little um uh more in depth but I know
10:19
you can do this so don't give up okay so
10:22
here's the example that cake looks
10:27
good the adverb here here is
10:30
good
10:32
why because it is describing or
10:37
modifying looks the
10:39
verb uh not the
10:42
cake the adverb good is describing what
10:46
the cake looks like it looks good we
10:49
don't know what the cake tastes like but
10:51
we know what it looks like so looks is
10:55
the verb that good the adverb
10:59
is
11:01
describing so let's look at another
11:05
example the tour group
11:08
followed
11:10
excitedly so we're looking for verbs or
11:16
adjectives or adverbs but we're just
11:18
going to stick with verbs right now in
11:21
this sentence we know that verbs we
11:23
learned those are action words so
11:27
followed is the action word in this
11:29
sentence right so we're found verb we
11:32
found the
11:33
verb now excitedly is describing the
11:38
action the tour group is following
11:41
they're excited you've been an exciting
11:43
tour group before right
11:46
so this this word
11:50
excitedly is an adverb that's
11:54
describing the the verb follow or
11:58
followed okay
12:00
okay it's not describing the noun this
12:04
noun phrase tour group uh or or group
12:07
actually
12:09
so next example my elderly neighbor
12:14
seems
12:16
well
12:18
so we're not looking for nouns here
12:21
we're looking for verbs for the adverb
12:24
to describe to modify or to modify right
12:29
my elderly neighbor well we've got
12:32
neighbor here elderly is not a noun
12:37
seems is a verb so seems is being
12:42
modified or described with this adverb
12:46
well she seems
12:49
well okay so seems is the verb and well
12:55
is the adverb well is what's describing
12:59
the verb now we're going to go to a new
13:03
board here in a second that will give
13:05
you a list of a lot of adverbs so don't
13:09
become uh too discouraged in in just
13:12
this part here I hope that helps but
13:15
before we go there I'm going to remind
13:18
you uh again that
13:22
adverbs answer the question answer the
13:26
questions how how often
13:30
when and where if you can
13:35
remember these questions adverbs are
13:38
usually helping us understand uh what's
13:41
going on there with some action in um in
13:45
a sentence okay how how often when and
13:50
where I said I'd remind you but I just
13:53
told you so now I'm reminding you again
13:55
and I'll remind you in just a moment so
13:59
continuing with the word group
14:03
adverbs we said that if you can use the
14:08
questions how how often when and where
14:14
you're going to be
14:16
able to find out where the adverb is in
14:20
the sentence that you're looking at or
14:23
listening
14:24
to um remember we said adverb
14:30
describe verbs adjectives and other
14:34
adverbs okay so important to remember
14:38
now if we start with how adverbs answer
14:42
the question
14:43
how uh we we often see that adverbs have
14:49
ly at the end which is great it's one of
14:52
the nice consistent things about English
14:55
although you'll see some more without l
14:59
y but if you see a word that has ly
15:01
generally it's an adverb so how well
15:08
easily um you can speak English
15:13
easily you can speak English
15:16
happily or
15:18
loudly or
15:20
quickly or
15:22
quietly or sadly now you can't do it
15:25
silently I guess you could do it in your
15:27
head or slowly so those are
15:31
describing the action of speaking
15:34
something okay uh and how how is that
15:38
going are you doing it easily or loudly
15:41
or quickly things like that the next
15:45
question is how
15:47
often adverbs a adverbs answer the
15:50
question how often
15:53
always every day
15:57
frequently never
16:00
often
16:01
once
16:03
seldom sometimes and this is just a a
16:07
short list okay but this kind of answers
16:10
that question how often how and how
16:14
often for our verbs adjectives and
16:17
adverbs
16:19
when
16:21
after
16:23
before when early
16:27
now since
16:30
soon
16:32
today
16:34
yesterday so when when what what is when
16:39
did the action take place or when did
16:44
something else happen in this sentence
16:47
and then
16:48
where adverbs answer the question
16:52
where
16:54
away
16:56
everywhere here
17:00
home
17:02
inside near
17:05
outside
17:06
there so you will see these words
17:10
particularly some of
17:12
these and you will think well isn't that
17:15
another word group another part of
17:18
speech in English well it depends upon
17:21
what it's describing in the sentence so
17:26
I hope that helps you and so that is a
17:29
summary of adverbs I recommend you maybe
17:33
take a screenshot of this this is not my
17:38
original um list but you can take a
17:42
screenshot of it and maybe look for
17:45
these words in sentences when you read
17:49
and then you can uh see how these words
17:52
are being use and if they are being used
17:55
as adverbs okay conjunctions
17:59
the conjunctions join words and phrases
18:03
or
18:04
Clauses they're they're connectors
18:06
they're like puzzle pieces so let's look
18:10
at a couple
18:12
examples we traveled by
18:15
train and by
18:18
bus the the and connects the train and
18:23
the bus okay I paid a deposit
18:30
because I wanted to reserve a a
18:35
room you can go to the museum
18:40
or go to the
18:43
park other common conjunctions are but
18:47
for
18:49
nor yet so because while until although
18:57
and if there's a lot of connecting going
19:00
on in language right now the question
19:04
you might have is should you begin a
19:07
sentence with a conjunction since
19:10
they're connecting ideas uh Clauses
19:13
words or phrases well this is a bit
19:16
debated um my response to that would be
19:21
save your usages of
19:24
conjunctions for the beginning of a
19:27
sentence when you read really want to be
19:30
emphatic um for example if you say but I
19:36
paid a deposit so I should get this room
19:39
if you didn't get the room but usually
19:42
you would use conjunctions in the inside
19:45
of sentences at least that's just the
19:47
safest way to do that so to review a
19:53
conjunction is words that join words or
19:57
phrases or
19:59
Clauses so and here is joining
20:04
train and bus they're actually joining
20:06
by train and by bus they're joining
20:10
these two prepositional phrases which we
20:12
will talk about but uh so that is the
20:16
function of the
20:19
conjunction I paid a deposit because I
20:24
wanted to reserve a room you see this
20:27
conjunction is important it
20:29
explains why but it also just connects
20:32
these
20:34
ideas and the last one uh you can go to
20:37
the museum or to the
20:40
park gives you a couple options there so
20:44
there's little words that uh do a lot of
20:49
uh describing and there words you need
20:52
to know if you want to understand
20:54
English and if you want to be understood
20:57
when you speak speak English so I would
21:00
recommend going online finding a list of
21:05
conjunctions and seeing how uh they
21:09
function how they work in sentences when
21:12
you use them or when you read them
21:15
okay oh can you guess our seventh word
21:19
group it's
21:21
prepositions so prepositions show the
21:26
relationship of a noun or a
21:29
pronoun to another part of the
21:33
sentence it hooks okay this is a hook
21:38
they hook nouns onto a sentence they're
21:42
great I love prepositions the luggage
21:45
bin here's an example the luggage bin on
21:50
an
21:51
airplane is above my
21:54
head
21:56
so the preposition
21:59
here there's two on an airplane and
22:05
above my head well on is the preposition
22:09
and above is the preposition it
22:11
describes the
22:13
relationship of the noun or pronoun to
22:17
another part of the
22:19
sentence another example the fairy boo
22:23
ticket is on the
22:26
table it's on the table
22:29
on is the
22:31
preposition we walked across the
22:37
square it showed the relationship of the
22:40
elements in the sentence to one another
22:43
the best way I can uh explain this or
22:46
has been explained to me is with a scarf
22:50
or you can think of a belt for for you
22:53
for you guys if you don't wear scarves
22:56
uh a scarf can be
22:59
uh around me around my neck around is a
23:04
preposition it can be over my head it
23:07
can be on my head it can uh it can be in
23:13
between my
23:15
fingers uh it can be near me near me it
23:20
can be beside me it can be below
23:25
me uh so it it's just a a spatial thing
23:31
so that's what a preposition is
23:35
prepositions uh hopefully you can see
23:38
prepositions don't work
23:39
alone they can't just be on or above
23:43
they have to be on something or above
23:45
something or near something so as an
23:49
example if I uh put my book in a
23:55
suitcase the preposition is in
23:59
and it's the book is in the
24:03
suitcase now in a second I'll show you
24:06
this idea of a prepositional phrase
24:09
because you can't really just have a
24:11
preposition they don't like to be alone
24:13
in fact they can't be alone prepositions
24:17
need uh nouns around them so we'll look
24:21
at some prepositional phrases okay we
24:24
talked about
24:25
prepositions and prepositions show where
24:29
things
24:30
are uh but they're always connected to a
24:33
noun so I talked about my scarf um the
24:39
the noun is the scarf it's a thing right
24:43
and the scarf is over my head the noun
24:49
the scarf is over the preposition my
24:53
head which is another noun um so they're
24:56
connected to nouns and they don't work
24:59
alone we talked about that right they
25:03
need to have some friends nearby
25:05
creating a prepositional
25:08
phrase uh they work in a group of
25:12
words um and you can identify them all
25:16
the time remember they're hook they're
25:18
hooking um uh nouns onto a sentence so
25:22
we need prepositions to hook the noun
25:24
onto the
25:26
sentence a pre preposition
25:29
phrase begins with a preposition and
25:32
ends with a noun like I said earlier I
25:37
put my book in the suitcase okay
25:42
I
25:45
put
25:47
my
25:50
book
25:55
in the suitcase
26:02
so if it begins with the preposition n
26:05
is the preposition the suitcase is the
26:08
noun and so this entire phrase in the
26:12
suitcase is a prepositional
26:16
phrase another
26:19
example uh can you think of one um it's
26:25
uh another way we use to be more
26:29
descriptive in our in our speech and in
26:32
our
26:33
writing I took
26:40
notes during the
26:43
lecture maybe you went to a lecture
26:47
on some place that you travel to during
26:54
the
26:57
lecture
27:01
during the
27:02
lecture is the prepositional
27:06
phrase
27:07
um during is is a little bit harder to
27:12
understand because it's a it's not um a
27:15
spatial idea
27:18
uh but it is a time um concept so during
27:24
the
27:26
lecture during is is a
27:29
preposition so that's just a
27:32
brief
27:33
explanation of prepositional phrases so
27:37
I I hope that helps you identify them
27:40
when you see them in writing or
27:43
speaking well our eighth part of speech
27:48
in English is
27:50
interjections so interjections are used
27:54
to express strong emotions right this
27:58
person's mad really sad or really happy
28:03
um strong emotions for example
28:07
rats I hurt my
28:10
foot or great work we
28:14
won or excuse me I need to catch my
28:18
plane so they're expressing intense
28:22
emotions another uh group of words that
28:26
fall under the category of interjections
28:29
might be a
28:31
ham uh meaning I want to speak now or
28:35
good grief kind of
28:38
frustration or even bless you um after
28:42
you sneeze um or sometimes we say bingo
28:48
meaning you got it right
28:50
Bingo um so these are just words that
28:55
are used to express strong emotions ions
28:59
and I want to interject
29:02
congratulations you've just finished the
29:04
video that talks about the eight parts
29:08
of speech in the English
29:11
