  Here are some tips on completing your parts of speech worksheet. When providing examples for each part of speech, five one-word answers will suffice for almost all of them. However, we'll need to clarify this for the gerunds. This is basically due to the fact that what you've written can either be used as the main verb in a sentence, that would be the present participle, or can be used as the gerund. For example the word "playing" wouldn't be enough, as it can be used both as the verb or the gerund. So, an example sentence such as "I like playing poker." would suffice rather than simply the word "playing".

So when you?re modeling language, that use of Teacher Talk Time can be very advantageous.

The levels are often designated as follows: Note: Levels above these standard levels are typically called ‘advanced’ and are not generally taught in mainstream situations.
