I've searched through and read several articles in Writers Write website. One article that really caught my attention was "All About Parts Of Speech" This article caught my attention because I am not so good at constructing beautiful and complete sentences. It's an amazing article that teaches how to make good sentences, and thus a better story. I'm not a big fan of grammar, but I know it's critically important to become a good writer. Unless I speak and write with a correct, proper grammar, people including my readers won't take my stories seriously.
I believe my grammar and syntax became really bad partly due to social media and texting. I'm on Facebook almost all the time and texts other friends whenever I find myself have time. Speed is incredibly important in this kind of 'light-hearted' endeavor, so I haven't got used to writing properly. I love this article that talks about the importance of writing properly.
It talks about the parts of speech and it breaks down to analyze. This article tells what those are, and describes their importance. It describes that parts of speech are basically categories of words that are classified based on their function.
A part of speech is often known as word class. It was all interesting. But the two parts of speech that almost immediately caught my attention were preposition and article.
I speak Korean as native language, and we don't have prepositions or articles in our language. To this day, I don't understand why English has so many of these complicated, confusing prepositions and articles. I've certainly never spoken Korean with prepositions or articles, but we've somehow communicated one another really well.
But I can tell from studying prepositions particularly that English language values time and space: "Prepositions connect nouns and pronouns with other words in a sentence. They usually give information about time, places, and direction." Prepositions can obviously put emphasis on time and space of things.
Another thing I've learned from studying articles is that it's all about general or specific. 'A' points a general object, whereas 'the' points to the very specific object that the speaker is indicating.
In my native language, we really don't speak with 'a', nor do we rarely speak 'the' to point at an object. Nonetheless, I've learned so much from learning about articles and prepositions from this amazing article.
