My opinion about using Blogs to learn English

I think that is very funy to learn in this form,because we can stay relax while are working.
This webside was very interesting I don't know about this.It is very interesting too.
We can know about other persons and work with this webside.
I wouldn't change anything because it is nice form for working.

Summary

In parts of speech we can found eight very important parts:
We can foun:
Verbs,conjunction,adjective,adverb,preposition,interjection,noun and pronoun.

Verb:A word which affirms or predicates something of some person or thing; a part of speech expressing being, action, or the suffering of action.

Conjunction:One of the parts of speech, a type of word that is used to connect words or groups of words. Traditionally, conjunctions are used to connect words within a sentence.

Adjective:The part of speech that modifies a noun or a pronoun. Adjective forms: positive, comparative, superlative.

Adverb:the part of speech that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb.

Preposition:A word or phrase placed typically before a substantive and indicating the relation of that substantive to a verb, an adjective, or another substantive, as English at, by, with, from.

Interjection:A part of speech that can stand alone to express emotion or a reaction.

Noun:are arguably the second most important part of speech in English--verbs are probably the most important. Every language has nouns, so it's not so difficult to understand them, but there are a few things about nouns that you should know.

Pronoun:A word used instead of a noun or name, to avoid the repetition of it. The personal pronouns in English are I,you, he, she, it, we,and they.

Why is grammar important for an EFL teacher?

I think that grammar is very important beacause is used when we speak and teach.
We need to know about grammar because it is the base of english.
If we don't know grammar we will be bad profesors.Grammar is very important because we need to learn very well and then teach every about grammar.

Comments

When I did the exercises,I was very complicated with them because I had some problems with the letter (S). I didn't use the letter"s" in some words but after I worked hard, I used the letter in the words.
I had problems with the tense in some sentences but I asked the profesor and I learned how I had to answer.
I liked this type of exercises.
