In class we will be learning about the different parts of speech and how they interact with each other in a meaningful way.
In August, we will be studying: Common & Proper nouns, Infinitive and Progressive tense verbs, along with Adverbs that tell how often. Common nouns name any person, place, thing, animal or idea. (ex: teacher, city, dog, freedom) Proper nouns name a specific person, place, thing or animal. (ex: Mrs. Kieffer, Phoenix, Arizona, or Mudge) Infinitive verbs (to + action verb): tell about an action that is not time specific. (ex: to fly: Sophie loves to fly when she visits her grandmother.) Progressive Tense Verbs: (Verb ending with -ing) These verbs can be present (now), past (already happened), or future (will happen later) but they must end with -ing. (ex: At the park, children are swimming to escape from the heat.) Adverbs telling how often: These are words that describe the action happening in the sentence. (ex: never, rarely, seldom, hardly every, occasionally, sometimes, generally, often, regularly, frequently, usually, always) ex: We hardly ever get to go to Disneyland because it's too expensive. (hardly ever tells how often we go)always Adverbs
