Learning Outcomes

Verbs are the third Part of Speech in this course. Verbs convey a thought concerning the subject. Learners understand English sentence structures after they have learned the important role that a verb plays in dividing a sentence into Subject and Predicate.

  • A verb is the most important Part of Speech in the English language. In the introduction, learners are asked to say the verbs on the pictures given in the slides.

  • Learners are able to differentiate between verbs which are action words and verbs which are saying words (the verb TO BE).

  • Much confusion is eliminated when learners know that verbs can be made up of one word or two words in this course.

  • Learners are introduced to the study of Personal Pronouns to show them that a subject can be the person speaking, the person listening and the person spoken of or spoken about. In addition, Number is the inflection of a verb to show whether the subject is Singular or Plural.

  • Learners know about the present tense and the past tense of the verb TO BE.

  • Learners know about the present tense and the past tense of the verb TO HAVE.

  • Learners know about the present tense and the past tense of the verb TO DO.

Ranjit Singh Thind

I am an English Language Trainer / Tutor and Writer based in Malaysia. As I have more than 20 years of experience training adults and tutoring students, I have meticulously developed English language programmes which are suitable for native and non-native speakers alike. My English language programmes using the Structural Approach are based on the study of grammar, and hence they are suitable for students and workers who would like to improve their proficiency in the English language. I believe there is a need for linking grammar and composition. Hence, the aim of a grammar lesson is to show to a learner how to avoid a drab or dull way of writing and talking. Writing makes learners think and express themselves clearly, correctly and confidently. Accordingly, I offer writing programmes that help learners develop their written English effectively.
