INTRODUCTION.

This job will help you develop grammar skills to ensure you are able to write clearly we can know about the importance to the part of speech, sentence structure, type of clauses and active and passive voice is to explain how to use in a sentence contains one independent clause and possibly one or more dependent clauses, although it is also possible to link together sentences using coordinated conjunctions and how we can use at the moment to talk these are complement in English.

Grammar structure and a little part of a lot of structure that help us to express clearly in this language furthermore we need to comprehension about grammar this article includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses and sentences, right up to the structure of whole texts.

It is important to be able to recognize and identify the part of speech and the different types of words in English, so that you can understand grammar explanation and use the right word form in the right place.

Grammar is also essential for understanding English as a second language as well as for learning a new language grammar skills are some important and useful in every aspect of life from education to leadership, and social life to employment opportunities.

EXPLANATION. 1.1 Part of speech: In the English language, the words are considered as small parts, complements, connectors, in a sentence. These words are classified into several parts of the discourse, which are: pronoun, noun, adjective, verb, determinant, preposition, conjunction and interjection. Are important because they show us how the words relate to each other. We need to know and learn this to have a better grammar when we write and speak.

In this picture the different speech. At the sentence, pronoun and a past. The is modifying (worked).

we can see parts of beginning of a there is a verb in simple adverb (fast) the verb

2.1 Sentences structure: The structure of a sentence is the way it is ordered, grammatically. The structure of a sentence depends on the language in which it is being written and according to the time in which it is spoken. There are different structures to make prayer and these are the following: Simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence.

In this picture we can see the different examples of sentences and the structure of each one.

Compound sentence:

EXPLANATION. 3.1 Types of Clauses A clause is a group of related words; but unlike a phrase, a clause has a subject and verb. An independent clause, along with having a subject and verb, expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a coherent sentence. In contrast, a subordinate or dependent clause does not express a complete thought and therefore is not a sentence.

9


In this picture we can see the two types of clauses and their structure.

Independent clauses Grammatically complete statements like these are sentences and can stand alone. When they are part of longer sentences, they are referred to as independent (or main) clauses. Two or more independent clauses can be joined by using coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet) or by using semicolons. The most important thing to remember is that an independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. 10


 Erica brushed her long, black hair.  Luis left, and Erica brushed her long, black hair.

Main Clauses. Subject + Verb = Complete Thought. Here are some examples:  Lazy students whine. Students = subject; whine = verb. 11


 Cola spilled over the glass and splashed onto the counter. Cola = subject; spilled, splashed = verbs.  My dog loves pizza crusts. Dog = subject; loves = verb.

3.2 MIND MAP. Types of clauses.

EXAMPLES. 3.3 Subordinate Clauses 13


Subordinate Conjunction + Subject + Verb = Incomplete Thought.

Here are some examples:  Whenever lazy students whine whenever = subordinate conjunction; students = subject; whine = verb.  Because my dog loves pizza crusts because = subordinate conjunction; dog = subject; loves = verb.

Relative Clauses

Relative Pronoun or Adverb + Subject + Verb = Incomplete Thought. Relative Pronoun as Subject + Verb =Incomplete Thought. 14


A relative clause will begin with a relative pronoun [such as who, whom, whose, which, or that] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why]. Here are some examples:  Whom Mrs. Russell hit in the head with a chalk eraser whom = relative pronoun; Mrs. Russell = subject; hit = verb.  Where he chews and drools with great enthusiasm Where = relative adverb; he = subject; chews, drools = verbs.  That had spilled over the glass and splashed onto the counter that = relative pronoun; had spilled, splashed = verbs. Noun Clauses Any clause that functions as a noun becomes a noun clause.

Look at this example:  You really do not want to know the ingredients in Aunt Nancy's stew. Ingredients = noun. If we replace the noun ingredients with a clause, we have a noun clause:  You really do not want to know what Aunt Nancy adds to her stew. What Aunt Nancy adds to her stew = noun clause.

EXPLANATION. 4.1 ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE Active voice In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. These examples show that the subject is doing the verb's action.

This picture shows us some examples of active voice. 16


Passive voice One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.

1. Move the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject slot

2. Place the active sentence's subject into a phrase beginning with the preposition by

17


3. Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the main verb's form

Because passive voice sentences necessarily add words and change the normal doer-actionreceiver of action direction, they may make the reader work harder to understand the intended meaning.

CONCLUSION.

We have covered the parts of the speech in order to learn more and expand the previous and new knowledge, in addition to improve the writing because we know that it is necessary and important to know the parts of the speech as well as their meanings and application in the sentence.

22


In this work we develop various topics which are: the parts of the discourse as we mentioned above, the structure of the sentence which is very important to know and know the types of sentences and their structures to have a better grammar and also this helps us at the time of speaking.

In addition, we mention other topics that are: the types of clauses, the different clauses that there are, their use, their structure and their importance when using them in a sentence. We also analyze the subject of the passive voice and the active voice, how we can use them when we form a sentence either through writing or when we speak, how to apply them, their importance and structure. In conclusion, through the work done we learn the many structures that are within the sentences, how to apply the grammar in a correct way, we acquire and reinforce previous knowledge.

ANEXOS.

24


Are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns: enormous, silly, etc.

A word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group.

Other is an adjective meaning 'different' or 'the second of two items. Another expresses quantity. It means 'additional' or 'one more'. We use another with singular nouns: another chair, another day. 25


Too many, is used for accounting nouns. As they can be for example; table / s, computer / s, song / s or dog / s. In contrast, too much is used for countless nouns. Some examples of countless words are rice, water or food.

"Say" is used in the direct and indirect style. If we want to use "say" with a personal object, we need to use the preposition "to". You can also use "tell" with the direct and indirect style, although the use 26


with direct style is not so common. When we use "tell" we need to use an indirect object that goes behind the verb.

The definite article the is the most frequent word in English. We use the definite article in front of a noun when we believe the hearer/reader knows exactly what we are referring to.

27


(a) little and (a) few are quantifiers meaning ‘some’. Little and few have negative meanings. We use them to mean ‘not as much as may be expected or wished for. We use little with uncountable nouns. We use few with plural countable nouns. They are used in formal contexts.

English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite art icle.

28


Active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In passive voice sentences, the subject is acted upon by the verb.

Connectors’ are used to link large groups of words: phrases and sentences .
