PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
This chapter provides a brief overview of the parts of speech. In future chapters students will learn
about each part of speech in greater detail. Learning the eight parts of speech helps students develop
the working vocabulary necessary to discuss and study the language. They especially need to recognize
the parts of speech in the context of sentences. This recognition is important because many words
function in more than one role. Being able to do identify the parts of speech in a document will help
students punctuate correctly and choose precise words for clear, powerful writing. Using the parts of
speech correctly will also help them sound more professional and intelligent on the job. In addition,
understanding the roles different parts of speech play in written and oral communication are helpful in
learning another language.
