Adjective Girl’s Story
Hi boys and girls,
Hello Ms. Anderson.
Today we are going to talk about something called
the eight parts of speech.
The Grammar Crew has developed characters for each part of speech
to help us remember what each part is about. The parts of speech
are the things that we use to make sense of all the things that we
say and write.
The part of speech that we will talk about today is called the
Adjective. We will use one
of
The Grammar Crew’s Eight Parts of
Speech Characters to help us understand what an
adjective is and how we can use it to help us communicate.
Her character name is
Adjective Girl
.
Adjective Girl, would you like to tell the class about who you are
and how you can help them communicate both written and verbally.
Yes Ms. Anderson I would and thank you for the opportunity.
Let me introduce myself to you boys and girls. My name is
Adjective Girl.
I am a member of
The Grammar Crew’s eight parts of
speech family. There are eight members in my family.
All of you use us everyday in the things you write and the things
that you say.
Some of you use us without knowing who we are and what we can do
to help you communicate.
I am the one who helps you describe
Mr. Noun
and
Papa Pronoun
.
I hope you know who they are but for those of you who don’t know,
I’ll talk about them
for a moment.
Mr. Noun
is
always the main subject that you are discussing or talking about.
Papa Pronoun
substitutes
for
Mr. Noun when you are not
being very specific about the person, place or thing that you are
referring to.
That’s just a little bit about them. Now let’s get back to talking
about me and what I can do.
My job is to help you describe them both. Let me give you an
example of how I perform my job.
Let’s say you want to tell someone that Theresa is very pretty. I
would be the one to show you what Theresa is.
Can anyone tell me where I am in that sentence?
Yes, you are right William.
Adjective Girl
would
be the word
pretty in that sentence
because she would be telling you and showing you what Theresa is.
Now would anyone like to give me an example of a sentence of their
own and how I would be used in that sentence?
Okay Beverly let us hear your example. Thank you
Adjective Girl. This is my example.
The video we saw last night was very
good.
In that sentence
Adjective Girl
you
would be the word
good because that would be
describing how the movie was.
Yes Beverly, you are correct. That was very nice.
The point that I am trying to make here is, if we think about how
we can better utilize the eight parts of speech, we can make our
communication both written and verbal much better and more
complete.
Does anyone have any questions? Yes Charles, what is your
question?
I don’t have a question. I just want to say that now I have a
better understanding of the purpose of an
Adjective in a sentence.
It helps me to describe things. Maybe I should have said I
understand the purpose of having
Adjective Girl
in
a sentence.
Using your character name makes it more fun and helps make
the point.
Well, if anyone has any further questions you can ask your teacher
Ms. Anderson or look me up at
TheGrammarCrew.com.
Answering questions is one of the many things that we do on
the Web site.
Tomorrow, I think you are going to be introduced to another part
of speech called a verb. Her character name is
Lady Verb
. She is another
member of
The
Grammar Crew’s eight
parts of speech family.
Lady Verb’s
job is to show action. She is bursting with excitement and energy.
You will really like her.
Eventually you will meet all of the
Grammar Crew’s Eight Parts of Speech
Characters and after you do, you will see how we all
come together in helping you communicate.
Well it was very nice meeting you all.
Remember kids go to our website and meet the other members
of our eight parts of speech family.
Always remember The Grammar Crew’s motto:
Good Grammar Is Empowering, Use It
And Empower Yourself.
