Thinking critically about parts of speech

THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT PARTS OF SPEECH

Some students in U.S. schools study parts of speech and other grammatical terms before college, and others don’t. Jot down notes describing what you know about basic structures of English grammar and how you acquired this knowledge (from explicit instruction? from your own reading and intuition? somewhere else?). How confident are you that you understand English grammar? Do you think having such knowledge is (or would be) useful? Why or why not?
