1....Noun


  • A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.

man... Butte College... house... happiness

A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!



2....Pronoun


  • A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.

She... we... they... it

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun, which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is the girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.

3....Verb

  • A verb expresses action or being.

jump... is... write... become

The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!


4....Adverb

  • An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.

pretty... old... blue... smart

An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as adjectives.)

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!


5....Adjective

  • An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

gently... extremely... carefully... well

An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!


6....Preposition

links a noun to another word

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence.


by... with.... about... until

(by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list includes the most common prepositions:

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!


7....Conjunction

A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.



A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.

The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!


8....Interjection

An interjection is a word used to express emotion.

Oh!... Wow!... Oops!

An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation point.

The substances that we see around us are not in their pure form. They are basically a mixture of two or more substances. Methods Of Separating Mixtures Some of the common methods of separating substances or mixtures are: 1.   Handpicking 2.  Threshing 3.   Winnowing 4.   Sieving 5.   Evaporation 6.   Distillation 7.   Filtration or Sedimentation 8.   Separating Funnel 9.   Magnetic Separation Now Let us discuss these methods in detail below. 1.. Handpicking Handpicking process This method involves simply picking out all the unwanted substances by hand and separating them from useful ones. The separated substances may be an impurity that has to throw away or maybe that both the separated substances are useful.  For example – if you separate black grapes from green ones from a mixture of the two. 2..Threshing Threshing process This method is mostly done during the harvesting of crops. Normally, the s...

Forces and its types

What is Force? pushing and pulling of any object resulting change the direction & shape is force.  Without force, nothing can be moved, stopped or change the direction. It is a quantitative interaction between two physical bodies, between an object and its environment. There are various types of forces in nature. If an object is in its motion state than its current state will be either static or motion. Its position will only be changed if it is pushed or pulled. The external push or pull applied on the object changes its current state of motion is known as Force. This force can be of different types. They are stated below. Different Types Of Forces Force is a physical cause that can change the state of motion of any object or the dimensions. Different types of Forces are listed below- Contact Forces The contact forces are the forces which occurs when we apply some effort on an object.  Following is the classification of contact force: ** Spring Force ** Applied Force...

Motion and its type

Introduction to Motion When we talk about motion or rest it is with reference to some point known as the origin.  So, now with respect to the change in the position we have two quantities which can be used to describe that change in position.  They are distance and displacement. So now the question is, what is the difference between the two? Talking about distance, it is defined as the total path length covered during the motion. It can be represented only by magnitude. On the other hand, displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position. It requires both magnitude and direction for complete representation. What is Motion? We can define motion as the change of position of an object with respect to time.  A book falling off a table, water flowing from the tap, rattling windows, etc all exhibit motion. Even the air that we breathe exhibits motion!  Everything in the universe moves. We live in a universe that is in continual motion.  ...
