Random Grammar: Parts of Speech
http://random-grammar.blogspot.com/2015/05/parts-of-speech.html
I thought it might be helpful to put in a description of parts of speech, since they are a main part of grammar. I'm going to post a bit later about confusing words and knowing what I'm talking about would help. Also, I'd like a reference for myself. :) The following chart is from an ESL website called easypacelearning.com. Friday, May 08, 2015. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Random Grammar: Frequently Confused Words
http://random-grammar.blogspot.com/2015/05/frequently-confused-words.html
I won't remember all the words I want to highlight here, so I'll create a series of posts with them and slap on a label to connect them.
