Hi Nisreen. Our OOE website members have access to a PDF which lists the details of this lesson. You can find that on the lesson page: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/parts-of-speech. Hope this helps you!
I Have wanted to understand about the parts of speech in English for many years. And now, I can understand about them correctly after watching carefully your video. They have 9 parts of speech. Thanks for your very clear lesson.
I was poorly educated in England at a Secondary Modern School decades ago. I left school without the ability to write a sentence that didn't have mistakes in it. I live alone now. I've purchased around 15 teach yourself English/Grammar books. I read through every one and do every test therein. Obviously, I have improved. However, I can never tell which word is a noun, verb, preposition and the like. I write letters and humour articles to magazines purely for money and I do well. I want to learn more about grammar and become as good as the tutors shown here. I find taking screenshots with my smartphone better than pausing the video when it comes to trying to memorize what has been shown. What I would like is to have items I've written proofread and edited so that I can learn this way. I would like to write short stories and true crime articles. To learn this I would need the correct tution. Regards. U.K.
Many of the native and non native grammar teachers teach determiners as a sub category of adjectives, and not a separate part of speech. What is the basic reason of giving them value of an exclusive category of parts of speech? Plz clear the confusion. Thanks!

Hi I've just come across the video. Getting to the point directly-- "Put it there..." Can "there" in the sentence also be an "Adverb of Place" ? "I played in the playground at 5 o clock" in this sentence "The playground is a noun as well as an adverb of place and "5 o clock" is an adverb of time". They describe the verb ( "Where" played and "When played"). Look forward to hearing from you or anybody else who goes through it"
It is important to note that the term determiner is NOT a part of speech. Rather, it is a term used with reference to the structure [syntax] of a sentence. That is, predeterminers and determiners both are functional elements of a sentence.
Hi Anup, thatnks for the suggestion. We have a lesson that might help you: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/how-to-use-adjectives. We might be able to do more in the future, so keep watching!
assalamo alikom dear ZAID actually there are reflexive pronouns not adjectives. the reflexive Pronouns combined by personal pronouns with -self, -selves, and they may be used reflexively such as : Mat hurt himself. or may be used intensively for emphasis : Mat himself was not hurt .
Pay attention! Adverbs explains how, when, or how much people and animal do things. It describes how, when or how much things happen. Adjectives explain how people, objects, place, animals are.
if this was the way English was created, then it's hard for learner to structure a sentence.........even though we are good at understanding the grammar...........
Isn't " I don't believe it! " a complete exclamatory sentence? Kindly explain what's the difference between an interjection and an exclamatory sentence if so. Thank you
This video makes me to watch more videos like this, and even stop going to the school it is really useful and most important conjunction about English thanks a lot
As per the traditional English grammar, there are 8 parts of speech and the determiners are included in the category of adjectives. It is bit strange that they are calling that wrong in this video. Modern grammars categorizes certain words as determiners and that's the whole difference, it doesn't make the traditional grammar wrong.
Ahmed, I agree that there are 8 POS traditionally. However, from a teaching point of view, it makes sense to use ADJECTIVES for words that truly describe (good, expensive, different, beautiful, egregious) because these words do one job: they describe. If we are going to use this line of thinking, then it also makes very god sense to separate the different ADVERBS into different POS, too, because they do very different jobs AND they appear in very different places in an English sentence. For example, an adverb of frequency (always, never) comes before an action verb but after BE and after an auxiliary verb (have always been working). An adverb of time often come near the end of a sentence, but it can also come at the very beginning of a sentence (We played tennis yesterday OR Yesterday we played tennis). An adverb of place is often similar. An adverb of degree (as explained in the excellent video) comes before the word it modifies/describes: It is very hot; They spoke very quickly. -- Despite the fact that it would make sense to have not 8 or 9 but rather 15 POS, we are stuck with 8 if we use traditional books or 9 if we have DETERMINERS as a separate POS. :-)
Great video, smooth explanations. :-) (I think there is an error with "Both of my brothers." In this case, BOTH cannot be a determiner. It is a pronoun. I see ONE. I see BOTH. I see BOTH of my brothers. Now if you say "I see both my brothers," then BOTH is a determiner.)
Thanks for the comment, Keith! A simple test if something is a pronoun or not: can it be replaced with a noun or noun phrase? If you say 'I saw both of them', then 'both of them' taken together is a pronoun, because you could replace it with e.g. the two people's names, or another noun. If you start a sentence with 'Both of my brothers...', I don't see how 'both' is a pronoun. I would still say it's a determiner, because it specifies quantity. You could replace it with another quantifier, as in 'Some of my brothers...', 'Most of my brothers...' etc.
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thanks for the reply. In your 2 examples, you are comparing apples and oranges. In the first one, you talk about the whole phrase BOTH OF MY BROTHERS, and in the second, you focus on BOTH. Teacher to teacher, the most important thing is not the label -- which I will return to shortly -- but the teachable pattern. A learners wants to know how to operate the word BOTH in English. Does it require OF? In English, ALL THE PEOPLE and ALL OF THE PEOPLE are semantically and grammatically (in terms of s-v agreement) alike. BOTH MY BROTHERS and BOTH OF MY BROTHERS is the same. HALF THE PEOPLE and HALF OF THE PEOPLE are the same. These "portion words" (all, some, none, a few) use OF in different ways. Some require OF, others cannot use OF, and others can have either. SOME and NONE, for example, require OF (i.e., SOME THE PEOPLE is not English). Too many EL teachers get caught up in the labeling, not the usage, and this often carries over into their own teaching of English where they insist on having their learners label words as PRO or ADJ , etc., and to me, that is NOT the purpose of teaching / learning English.
Now I'd like to get back to the labeling issue -- which I want to stress for the many readers here is only for a teacher-to-teacher conversation. @Oxford Online English said, "If you say 'I saw both of them', then 'both of them' taken together is a pronoun, because you could replace it with e.g. the two people's names, or another noun." I agree that the whole phrase functions as one big pronoun, yes. BOTH is the main pronoun and OF THEM is a prepositional phrase consisting of the preposition OF and the pronoun THEM.
@Oxford Online English said, "If you start a sentence with 'Both of my brothers...', I don't see how 'both' is a pronoun. I would still say it's a determiner, because it specifies quantity. You could replace it with another quantifier, as in 'Some of my brothers...', 'Most of my brothers...' etc." Determiners precede NOUNS or NOUN PHRASES. In "BOTH BROTHERS ARE HERE," BOTH is a determiner. In "BOTH MY BROTHERS are here, BOTH is also a determiner. In "BOTH OF MY BROTHERS are here," we have a prepositional phrase "of my brothers." BOTH is a pronoun that refers to, in this case, two people. Yes, you could replace it by ALL or SOME or HALF, and those would be -- just using grammatical labeling -- either a DETERMINER if it's before a noun or noun phrase or a PRONOUN (if it's the subject or an object [of a preposition, direct, indirect]). You said that "If you start a sentence with 'Both of my brothers...', I don't see how 'both' is a pronoun." Well, in spoken language, we don't need a clear antecedent the way we do in formal academic writing. I walk into class and say "Is everyone here?" EVERYONE is a pronoun, yet I haven't mentioned students or class members. It's your birthday, and I walk in with two large wrapped presents. You look surprised, and I say, "BOTH are for you. I hope you like them." When anyone says "BOTH OF MY BROTHERS ...." to start the conversation, it's the same thing. BOTH is referring to JOSEPH AND KYLE. I hope all of this makes sense. It's hard to explain this in writing and in the confines of a textbook where I can't underline or bolden key words. Thanks.

Hello sir,
I have a question.. is there reflexive adjective in English?
Thanking you in anticipation
Zaid
assalamo alikom dear ZAID
actually there are reflexive pronouns not adjectives. the reflexive Pronouns combined by personal pronouns with -self, -selves, and they may be used reflexively such as : Mat hurt himself.
or may be used intensively for emphasis :
Mat himself was not hurt .
I understand your effort but it is still complicated
Pay attention!
Adverbs explains how, when, or how much people and animal do things. It describes how, when or how much things happen.
Adjectives explain how people, objects, place, animals are.
Amazing this Lesson, congratulations!
Thanks for the kind comment, Zila!

Isn't " I don't believe it! " a complete exclamatory sentence? Kindly explain what's the difference between an interjection and an exclamatory sentence if so. Thank you
Hi Priyanwada, an exclamatory word or sentence can also be an interjection!
