Speech
Part 2 of Lesson
Recap from Yesterday:
Let's see if we can name all 9 again.
Answers from Slide 23:
Answers: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions,
conjunctions, determiners and interjections.
Pronouns:
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in a sentence. Pronouns are
used to not repeat the same thing over and over again. There are about
8 types of pronouns, which are: personal pronouns, possessive
pronouns, indefinite pronouns, relative pronouns, intensive pronouns,
demonstrative pronouns, interrogative pronouns and reflexive
pronouns.

Personal Pronouns:
Personal pronouns are used
instead of names. They stop your
writing being too repetitive by
saying the same thing over and
over again, like some of the other
types of pronouns.
E.G: I, you, he and she.
Possessive
Pronouns:
Possessive pronouns show that
someone (or something) owns
something. They an also stop your
writing being too repetitive by
saying the same thing over and
over again. Note that there are no
apostrophes in possessive nouns,
unlike possessive pronouns.
E.G: my, his and their.
Indefinite Pronouns: Relative Pronouns:
Indefinite pronouns don’t talk Relative pronouns are used to
about a specific noun. We use connect a main clause to a relative
them when we don’t need to clause, which adds extra
know what the specific noun is. information. The red in the last
E.G: few, all and anything. sentence is the relative clause,
and the word ‘which’ is the
relative pronoun.
E.G: who, which and that.

Intensive Pronouns:
Intensive pronouns emphasize, or
intensify, nouns or pronouns. They
usually end in ‘-self’ or ‘-selves’.
E.G: herself and themselves.
Demonstrative
Pronouns:
Demonstrative pronouns replace
other pronouns. They can be
singular (one thing) or plural
(more than one thing.
E.G: these and such.
Interrogative
Pronouns:
Interrogative pronouns just do
what they say they are (ask a
question). They work in sentences
that are questions.
E.G: who…? and what…?
Reflexive Pronouns:
Reflexive pronouns are similar to
intensive pronouns, but with
reflexive pronouns, the sentence
wouldn’t make sense without
them, unlike intensive pronouns.
E.G: herself and themselves.
Mini Task 1:
What are the 8 main types of pronouns? As a clue, I’ve given you the first two
letters of each of them.
• Pe______
• Po________
• In________
• Re______
• In_______
• De___________
• In___________
• Re___________
Mini Task 1 Answers:
Personal, possessive, indefinite, relative, intensive, demonstrative,
interrogative and reflexive.
Prepositions:
Prepositions connect nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words in a
sentence. They usually go right in front of the nouns in a sentence
and usually describe where something is, when something happens
and how something is done. There are 6 types of prepositions, which
we will go through in another lesson.
E.G: at, above and near.
Mini Task 2:
Choose the right
preposition in the
sentences to the right:
Mini Task 2 Answers:
1. For
2. On
3. In
4. -, as the preposition ‘in’ has already been added.
Conjunctions:
A conjunction (also called a connective) is a word that connects
phrases, clauses and sentences together. There are three types of
conjunctions, which are: coordinating conjunctions, subordinating
conjunctions and correlative conjunctions.
Coordinating
Conjunctions:
A coordinating conjunction can be
put between two main clauses
(parts of sentences that make self
themselves). They help to make
our writing more interesting
because they turn usually boring,
short sentences into long,
descriptive sentences.
E.G: and, but and or.
Subordinating
Conjunctions:
A subordinating conjunction,
unlike a coordinating conjunction,
connects a main clause with a
subordinate clause. This can also
make our writing more
interesting, as they can also make
our usually boring, short
sentences into long, descriptive
sentences.
E.G: once and after.
Correlative
Conjunctions:
They get their name because they
work together and relate one part
of speech to another. This is why
they start with ‘co-’, as the above
is what ‘co-’ means. They also
need to work in pairs to make
sense.
E.G: neither/nor, either/or and
both/and.
Mini Task 3:
Join the sentences below together by adding a conjunction between
them. You may only use the same conjunction once.
1. I like chicken. I love sweetcorn.
2. The rhino looked fierce. It was rather tame.
3. It snowed heavily. The football game continued.
4. I cannot speak French. I try very hard.

*There are varied answers for the above sentences.

Determiners:
Determiners usually go before nouns and determines (নির্ধারণ)
something. There are five main types of determiners, which are:
articles, demonstratives, possessive determiners, quantifiers and
numbers.
Articles: Demonstratives:
Articles tell us the definiteness of Demonstratives show what they
something. There are three are talking about and make two
articles, which are a, an and the. different things stay different.
E.G: this, that and those.
Possessive
Determiners:
Possessive determiners can change nouns by showing that a noun owns
something. They are different to possessive pronouns because possessive
determiners come before nouns, and possessive pronouns replace nouns.
E.G: my, your and his.

Quantifiers:
Quantifiers show how much of
something there is. They are quite
similar to determiner numbers,
which also show how much of
something there is.
E.G: some, many and few.
Numbers (as
Determiners):
Numbers (as determiners) do
what they say. They also explain
how much of something there is,
but more specifically.
E.G: one, two and three.

Interjections:
Interjections are quite different to the other parts of speech, because
they aren’t normally part of a sentence. They are words or phrases to
show how someone feels in a sentence and usually end in exclamation
marks (!). There are 6 types of interjections, which we will explain later.
E.G:
• Wow!
• No way!
Mini Task 5:

creative!

3. Get off that floor.
