This course offers a comprehensive understanding of English grammar, focusing on the functions of different parts of speech. Whether you’re an ELA educator, TESOL educator, or aspiring linguist, this course will enhance your language skills. Learn how to identify form and structure class words, recognize sentence structures, and understand voice. Forget the confusing rules and exceptions from high school English, and discover how English actually works. With short quizzes after each video, you can confidently progress through the course. Perfect for those interested in linguistics and eager to improve their communication skills.
What you’ll learn
- Identify the four form class words (noun, verb, adjective, adverb)
- Identify the important structure class words (preposition, determiner, conjunction, subjunction)
- Identify sentence structures in terms of simple, compound, or complex
- Recognize voice (active, passive, anti-causative, anti-passive)
This is not a grammar nazi training camp. This will help you understand and describe language around you with a particular focus on English. You’ll learn the function of the parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and more). By understanding the functions, you’ll be able to understand what your read and hear even better than before–even old texts like Shakespeare. But you’ll also become a stronger, more effective communicator.
Forget those high school English rules that have more exceptions than instances. Come here to find out how English actually works. English rules are simple once you understand the functions of the parts of speech. Then you can use that understanding to manipulate your sentences into something powerful.
Did you leave your English class with high marks but no understanding of subject, indirect object, direct object, passive voice, or active voice? These are just a few of the concepts you’ll learn in this course.
Are you wondering what linguistics is all about? Want to get your feet wet in the kind of questions a linguist asks and topics a linguist studies? This course will do just that for you.
After each video there’s a short quiz to make sure you’ve understood the material. That way you can move on to the next lecture with confidence.
Enjoy and learn lots!
