Hi, fam.

What's going on?

Today while reading an article on Google, I came across a few common errors that we frequently make in both online and offline conversations.

That I'd love to share.

Among them was:

"Is it about your loss or sorry for your loss?"

In fact, it gave me some food for thought.

Why?

I've never really taken the time to think about it.

Undoubtedly, I was quite confused.

Actually, I was accustomed to saying, "I'm sorry for your loss."

I had no idea that phrases like "sorry about your loss" existed.

It took me some time to step back and process what I had heard.

I believed it ought to be "Sorry for your loss."

I was, however, quite confused.

The first one sounded more accurate than the second.

That's how the English language is, though, as you can see.

It's possible that what we hear as correct may not be grammatically correct.

Therefore, it is important to focus on understanding grammar rules and how they are used in modern language.

Before continuing,

I'd like to know what you think?

Is it "sorry for your loss" or "sorry about your loss?"

Hi! My English buddies.

Welcome to another session on Your Guide To English

Last week, we learnt that English is an international language. And it is spoken all over the world.

Today, we are going to explore the PARTS OF SPEECH in English.

In the English language, words can be considered as the smallest elements that have distinctive meaning based on their use and functions, words are categorized into several types or parts of speech.

There are eight parts of speech in English language.

The parts of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence.

An individual word can function as more as than one part of speech when used on different circumstances.

Understanding the parts of speech is essential for determining the correct definition of a word when using the
dictionary.

The eight parts of speech are:

-NOUNS
-PRONOUNS
-ADJECTIVES
-ADVERB
-CONJUNCTIONS
-INTERJECTIONS
-VERBS
-PREPOSITIONS

We would be narrowing our study to the definition of a Noun and its types.

What is a Noun?

A Noun is a naming word used for giving a name to a person or thing or an idea.

For example; John is a good boy. John is the name of a special person. Boy is also a name of a special class of people. So, John and boy are both Nouns.

A Noun is divided into five parts:

-PROPER NOUNS
-COMMON NOUNS
-COLLECTIVE NOUNS
-ABSTRACT NOUNS
-MATERIAL NOUNS.

We've come to the end of this session.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Don't forget we said that a Noun is a word for giving a name to a person, thing, or an idea.

In the next session, we'd do a thorough study on the types of Nouns.

Now, haven't you learnt something?😁😁😁
