Parts of Speech
As CLIL teachers, we need to help our students with language, and we need to understand it at a basic level.
Words are the building blocks we use, in different combinations, to make sentences. There are different types of words, which all do different jobs. We call them ‘Parts of Speech’.
In English, there are eight parts of speech. In this Unit we will discover what they are.
Follow the steps below to complete this unit:
1. Read an overview of ‘What is CLIL?’ Use one of the online dictionaries to look up any words you do not know.
