Parts of speech

Noun: A noun is a word used to refer to people, animals, objects, feelings, places and ideas. Nouns can be a subject or an object of a verb, can be modified by an adjective and can take a determiner.

Example: Take a look in the mirror and cry

Pronouns: A pronoun is a word that that substitutes one or more than one noun, usually to avoid repetition. It may stand for a person, place, thing, or idea. The noun, called the antecedent, gives the pronoun its meaning.

Example: Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Adjectives: An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying it. It usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies by adding information that answers any of four questions about the noun or pronoun. What kind? Which one? How many? and how much?

Example: My hard earned pay all on my own.

Adverbs: Adverbs can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb can indicate manner, place, time, frequency, certainty, degree, focus,question, and conjunction of two sentences.

Example: I just keep losing my beat.

Verbs: A verb represents the subject's action or state of being and expresses time while showing an action, a condition, or the fact that something exists. The verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.

Example: I have spent all my years in believing you.

Prepositions: The word preposition (place before) obviously indicates a word preceding another word (or words), usually a noun, noun phrase, gerund, gerund phrase or pronoun. It describes the relationship between other words in a sentence. Alone, prepositions are rather meaningless, and they are nearly always combined with other words.

Example: I work hard every day of my life

Conjunctions: A conjunction is a word that links words, phrases, or clauses. Conjunctions are classified in four groups: Coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and conjunctive adverbs.

Example: I work till (until) I ache my bones.

Interjections: An interjection, sometimes called a filled pause, is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear definitions.

Example: Find me somebody to love! Woah woah!

ME

Hi my good friends!
I'm going to introduce myself:

Talking about my experience learning and studying English, it is important to say that I've been studying and practicing it for about 3 years. I started studying at CELEX in ESIME Culhuacán and I finished the advanced levels there. I've also had some experience tutoring my cousins who attend junior high school.

What I consider my weak sides are my naivety and my laziness jeje. Oh! and I sometimes can be a little grumpy

Some of my strong sides are my friendly attitude and my cheerfulness towards life. Also, whenever I do something I like to do it putting all my heart into it.

What I like to do is going shopping, skating, spending time with my boyfriend and dancing. I also enjoy decorating places like my bedroom.

About my skills... well I guess that I'm good at understanding listenings but I'm not very good at reading or writing.

I have many friends and I like spending time with them as well going places with them. For example: going to the cinema or to the mall.

Well I guess that's pretty much it. I'll see you at school everybody! Bye!
