Stage I: Parts of the Speech
Material - Examples
Parts of speech (also known as word classes) are the different categories in which words are classified according to their function within a phrase or a sentence. By familiarizing with the function and behavior of the different parts of speech you will be able to get essential understanding of the English language. As you will realize through this course, English is a much more structural language than Spanish. In English every single part of speech tends to be in the same position in all sentences, whereas in Spanish sentence structure is extremely flexible. For instance, one of the biggest differences in both languages is that word order is much more rigid and strict in English than in Spanish.
