LESSON 3: PARTS OF SPEECH
The first step in grammar study is to learn and understand the parts of speech. Each part of the speech is different from each other. It is important to understand which part of the speech each word in a sentence is and knowing how to use it.
The 8 parts of speech are:

1. NOUNS

There are two main types of nouns: common nouns and proper nouns.
Common nouns are words for people, animals, places or things.
       
   park (place)                     teacher (people)                  tiger (animal)                    car (thing)

Proper nouns are names for particular people, places, animals or things.

They always begin with a capital letter.

Your own name, the names of your friends and teachers are proper nouns.

The names of countries and their people are also proper nouns.

           Korean                                      Japanese                                             Malaysians

The names of cities, towns, buildings and landmarks are proper nouns.

The days of the week and months of the year are proper nouns.

The names of festivals, some special events and holidays are proper nouns, too.
