                   1.4 PARTS OF SPEECH

                 Parts of speech are the classifications of words in any language based on their function in a sentence. These
                 are the ‘building blocks’ of any language. When we speak or write, we utilise sentences to explain ourselves.
                 As a result, sentences are essential.
                   A ‘sentence’ is a combination of words that conveys a complete meaning, thought, or action. For example,
                 Mansi watches cartoons on TV every day. A sentence always starts with a capital letter and ends with a full
                 stop, question mark, or an exclamation mark. For example:
                   The teacher teaches Maths in the classroom.
                   She dropped the glass.
                   I am studying hard for my exams.
                 A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb, making no sense, for example,
                 Mansi watches.

                 Using Capital Letters

                 We all know that every sentence starts with a capital letter. MINTS is a simple set of rules that assist you in
                 correctly capitalising words as shown below:
                                                                                          N-Names
                                   M-Months                 I-the letter 'I'

                 Using Punctuation
                 In English, there are 15 primary punctuation symbols or signs. Full stop or period, comma, question mark,
                 exclamation mark, apostrophe, colon, semicolon, Em Dash, hyphen, parenthesis, quotation mark, bracket,
                 brace, ellipsis, and bullet point are examples of punctuation.
