- In this video, I will go over the different parts of speech in English. We will be looking at the use of nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. You will also learn how to arrange them in a grammatically correct sentence. Also, I will teach you in what order to place the adjectives if you have more than one. For example, do you have a "big, white, excitable dog" or a "white, excitable, big dog"? Find out by watching this lesson and doing the quiz afterwards at www.engvid.com/basic-english-...
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. James from engVid. I would like to talk about something that will help you understand English, and it's two things. Number one are parts of speech. What are the parts of speech and how do you use them? The second is called syntax, which is a very complicated word for word order. Where do you put the words in a sentence? In some languages they have a different word order, some languages it doesn't really matter, but what my job today is, is to show you where the words go and: What do they basically mean-okay-in the parts of speech? As E said: "Words. Where do they go?"
Now, if you're new to English or even if you're an intermediate student, sometimes this causes you problems. Right? You've heard the terms: "preposition", "determiner", "syntax", and you're like: "Oh, it's so complicated." Today's lesson will be simple. You can go over this again and again. It will help you understand and use English better.
So I'm going to start off with the most basic part of parts of speech, and I want to start with the things part. Things. Not actions, but things. I am a person. My watch is a thing. Okay? An animal, a cat or a dog, or an apple, these are things. We call these things nouns, because nouns name people - Hi, I'm James; places - Toronto, Ontario; things - my watch; animals - a cat, meow; and food - an apple. Okay? These are nouns. Example: boy, dog, apple. Okay? Nouns name these things.
But sometimes you don't want to keep using the same noun again and again. "James ate the apple and James walked his dog as James talked to his friend, Oliver, and then James..." It gets what we call repetitive and boring, and it also makes the sentences go really slow. And sometimes we want to use the noun in a different way. So in this case we introduce what's called pronouns. Pronouns can replace nouns in a sentence. So now you could say something like this: "James ate the apple and he walked his dog." Instead of: "James ate the apple and James walked his dog", we can use a pronoun to replace it and make it simpler. We still know we're talking about James.
Now, we talked about word order or syntax. Let me explain this. In order to use a pronoun first you must use the noun. Okay? You introduce the noun and then you can replace it with a pronoun. That's why you see number one then number two. You cannot just start with a pronoun. If I started a sentence at the beginning: "He went to the store." The very first thing you will say to me is: "Who's he?" I go: "Oh, James went to the store and he bought the apples there." And you go: "Oh, now I know who he is." So, pronouns kind of number two because you have to actually introduce first with a noun, then you can replace it with a pronoun.
Now, we have several types of pronouns. I'm just going to go over and show you a couple of them so you get an idea. Pronouns include: "I", "we", which are subject pronouns. Object pronouns when we're talking about something that's not us, but something on the other side that receives action, as a subject pronoun I do things. I run. Right? We eat dinner. We're talking to them. Now, when we say "them", you go: "What?" Well, they are receiving it and we call those object pronouns. Okay? So the most basic ones are subject and object pronouns. One is doing something, one is receiving. There are reflexive pronouns, like: "himself" where somebody is talking about themselves. "He built the house himself." So he's talking about him as an object, but reflecting it back to himself. We call it reflexive pronoun. Okay? There are others, but I'm not going to get into them right now because I want to keep this simple just so you know what the parts of speech are, and you can always come to engVid to come and see other lessons in which we go deeply into reflexive pronouns, object and subject pronouns. Okay? Cool. So we talked about how pronouns can replace nouns, and we're good with that. Yeah?
So let's go to stage number three, because once you've replaced them, how do you know the difference between them? Apple, apple. I don't know. That's when we have adjectives. Adjectives. The word itself can be broken into two parts: "ject" and "ad". But remember... Do you remember when I said subject and object, and I gave you the example? I said, for instance: "I" is a subject pronoun. Right? Subject, yeah, I'm good at this.
Now that you've learned the basics, watch my new lesson on 10 types of nouns! Learn about abstract nouns, collective nouns, proper nouns, and more: czcams.com/video/dI8il9qmzzc/video.html

Okay 👌

Do you have a step-by-step Guide or Video for intermediate learning English Grammar and then vocabulary? Please share a link if you do. There are multiple videos and do not know where to start from.

My English teachers wasted 6years of my high school trying to teach me about parts of speech. I just learnt it under 20 minutes on CZcams. 😢

Same with me.
Man...he did not waste your time. He prepared you gradually so that you can understand one day listening to a detailed lecture from the great person. Never degrade your teacher ever...
i love how James interjects some humor into his lessions. He is probably the best english teacher in all of Ontario.

The “I” is always capital letter, it never stays like this “i”
Yes, you're right 🙂🙂🙂

I'm a 35 year old native English speaker and still, I'm thankful for these lessons. It's amazing how much we forget about our native language or that we never really learned.
I agree , I truly need to revisit all of these lesson so I can improve my writing
@@TheRealAlove this comment is factual
Nob
I'm grateful for u
@@blacklivesmatter2855 Yes I agree with u
I love his playful style of teaching! Pure wholesomeness
I am a native English speaker and I need to learn my own grammar in order to learn the grammar of another language. You broke this down so well and your tone and pace of teaching is perfect! Thank you for offering your knowledge and time👌
This is by far the best video to learn the parts of speech. James teaches at a great pace, and stays on track with clear explanations, unlike many videos on youtube. Thank you!
He's like the perfect teacher.
I love James manner of teaching ! It"s bright , funny and understandable. James - you are the best teacher !
This Dude deserves every subscription !!
James, you just changed my world as a online ESL teacher! You break down things perfectly into a way I can understand and explain to my students. I love how you "mind mapped" the tenses in a way makes sense. Grammar is not my strong suit! Thank you bud! SUBSCRIBE! I knew when I scrolled down to the comments that they were going to be positive!
I totally agree 😊
if anybody can't learn a thing or two from this fella about english, I really dont undersand how it can be done.... really cool lesson.
HE'S AMAZING!
I want to learn english how can i engage daily conversation
@@humaali4543, do you live outside of an English speaking country? If so, I would recommend that you find a pen-pal who is a native English speaker. In my opinion, immersion can be more effective than grammar. Atleast for basic daily conversation.
MY SISTER IS VERRY ANOYING I THINK SHE NEEDS LESSONS WITH YOU HOW TO BEHAVE
@@ewereerigbuem4203 MY BRO TOO PLS
I'm a 9th grader and I forgot these thing now I can know that I would at least get a good grade in my exam tomorow
By far the most smoothest intro in educational videos!
I'm impressed by this lesson. I've never been taught like this ever before in our school days. It was really helpful of you. I finally learned this very basic thing of English.
Hi good English
Indian r everywhere 🤣
Good job! You will learn more and more along the way.
You've easily made grammar more entertaining than every teacher and book has.
James, I think you are one of the best english teachers out there. I left school 30 yrs ago and still learning the proper way to use english correctly. It was the most complex subject out of all my classes at school. I think it has a lot to do with the way it is explained and the tone in which it is delivered. I think he has the best tone and patiences.
i am convinced that james is one of the best english teachers online beside emma.
The 8 parts of grammar:

Examples: Obama, field, pencil, or fear
Verbs:

These address more than one thing
Adjectives:

I'm amazed about how good is this professor. Thanks to make it looks easy!
I'm Brazilian, and Professor James helped me study a lot for my test! Thank you, Professor James 🥹✨️
Hello James,
This is the first of your videos that I have watched. I just wanted to let you know, that as someone who grew up with a learning disability in spelling and english and who also was not diagnosed with autism until adulthood, your charismatic style of teaching is a real blessing! Thank you!
This is a masterclass on how to be a great teacher, you are amazing James. After watching a lot of videos, I think yours is the best. Thank you very much for the tutorials!
I love the way you explained sir, not sleepy, keeping in enguage, very simple to understand everything. Thank you so much for this video 😊
As someone who can speak English fluently but have no clue about explaining the grammar, you really improve my root cause of problem 😭
I am getting ready to take the TEAS/Kaplan Exam (for entry into nursing school). I havent studied this material in YEARS and needed a quick refresher - this was perfect and exactly what I needed. THANK YOU!
I love this video! You are a great teacher and I love your humor! Great video! I needed a grammar review for my upcoming HESI test and this video really helped me. Thank you!
I usually don't comment on videos, but you did an awesome job explaining the parts of speech. To be honest, I don't know if I actually learned this when I was younger, or they just never taught me these things... but I understood this video so clearly compared to the past English teachers I've had. Thank You !!!
As an English speaking man in my early 50's coming back to education , I find James's Congruence reassuring, and easy to get. Five gold stars on life-TripAdvisor, or whatever! Thanks again!
I wrote essays in undergrad and in grad school with no major issues with grammar but now as an executive, I just want to be sure I am retaining stuff, and so far so good!! I remember the rules!! Awesome teaching!!
Thank You James. With the Children at home I needed it a lesson and I will probably need many more.
Thank You James. With the Children at home l needed a lesson. This refreshed on how be to use my words and how to better explain be it. I am not be a teacher and you explained this Beautifully ❤️. I will be back for more.
I mostly understand. I understand the most important points. Now I just need to memorize it. Good video btw and thx.
Helped me to undersrtand and refresh basic concepts, the teacher goes step by step...He has different types of videos, and are brilliant. English is easier with order and positivity. No bad comments for it, encourages me to develop. It's amazing!
This video was fantastic. I am 38 and preparing for a TABE test and forgot all of this. Now I have a clearer reunderstanding of it all. Thank you! Your newest follower, Miguel. 👨🏫
You are a great teacher. It is amazing how you simplify English topics/concepts. I am learning a lot from you.
James, good job! That was an amazing lesson.
Thanks!
Very clear lessons. Much appreciated! Working hard to offer English lessons and content for my students online, as many are now quarantined. I appreciate your style and hard work!
Estoy empezando a aprender inglés. Me encanta como enseña este Profesor. Se los recomiendo mucho 👍🏻👌
Thanks teacher. This is extremely useful, even the most famous grammar books cannot give a structured view about this. I was really struggle when self studying
Hello, Sir James, you teach English very well. My daughter found a good teacher in you, she is in grade 3.
I don't know know English well, but I try to understand what you teach, and I never be taught by an English teacher unless I usually watch English lessons on CZcams. I appreciate the way you are teaching. God bless you.
Thanks James. Was looking for something exactly like this in order to explain grammar to my primary school aged son. You break what could be a very complex subject into easily understood parts and explain them with clarity and precision.
It's been two decades since I've been in school and I'm going back to college, I've forgotten half this stuff, lol
I like your videos
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I have never understood these concepts in all of my 61 years 😊
But now I get it!
Thank you my brother 👍🏾
Best english teacher EVER! You have a such a calming and friendly voice! You could do meditation videos or voice acting!
Thank you James im a filipino and i regret that I didn't listen to my teacher for 6 years and i understand the lesson you taught me for 20mins
That little ah-choo hits different in 2020

I'm glad I found your channel. I'm in the process of learning how speak another language. I need a refresher course in English grammar to understand Brazilian Portuguese. We learn these terms as children and teenagers and many cases forget them
👋🏿👋🏿🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks James, you break your lessons down perfect so I can understand grammar better. And your lessons are inspiring me as I'm studying to be a TEFL teacher 👍🏻
i encourage you
Hi
Good luck
I am in the same path, before I take the tefl course I have to refresh my memory and this teacher is awesomegood luck Lucy
Can you please type the word out what does t e f l mean I'm used to people typing the whole word out so I know what they're talkin about otherwise that's confusing has fuck?
Excellent sense of humor! Proper lifted my spirits, when learning here 💯👌
I got 9 out of 9 in the quiz. Props to you, Cher! God bless!
I love how these videos seem to be slightly geared to kids, but also VERY watchable as an adult too.
So amazing!!! I’m using this to study for my TEAS
Hey, if that is you on the photo, you are gorgeous.
Thank you very much. ❤️ I have a question for you: Should we always follow this order of adjectives? Like If I wanna describe something that's good, small and red, should I start describing its quality then continuing with the others?
you cant just saying I bought good red three round big apples
I want to thank you for your exceptional teaching techniques. You bring clarity to some subjects that are difficult for some people to understand easily. Thank you
Best explanation easy to understand I have seen the n 3 yrs searching on CZcams
Thanks so much for this video James!! I’m touching up on my English for my test to apply as a mature student for an aesthetician course here in Toronto!
