Determiners and quantifiers are words that precede nouns. Three kinds: articles like a, an and the; demonstratives like this and these, and possessives like my and their. Quantifiers serve the same purpose as determiners the difference is that they specify an amount or quantity. Pronouns are words that are used in place of noun phrases. Do not carry meaning by themselves take meaning from noun they refer to. Example: I saw the sweet elderly lady down the street. I saw her. Different kinds of pronouns: personal (I, my); indefinite (someone, anything); interrogative (who, where); possessive (mine, his); relative (who, which). Auxiliaries are often refered to as helping verbs. They are the words that tell more about the tense or aspect of a verb. English has a complex verb system. Can add inflections to verbs and also use auxiliaries to express shades of meaning. The auxiliaries occur in a fixed order. Example: I been have should asked to go. Must be acquired too complex to teach and learn. Prepoisitions show place or time relationships. Example: the pen is on the table. On shows the relationship in space between the pen and the table. Conjunctions also show relationships connects two complete ideas and joins two verbs. Particles are little words added to verbs to make two- or three word verbs example he ran up a big bill. Intensifiers are words used to qualify an expression making it stronger or weaker. Example he is very happy. Or he is somewhat happy.
