ENGLISH!
WELCOME TO:
English 9th and 10th grade grammar focuses on advanced concepts like parts of speech, sentence structure, verb tenses, and more complex topics such as reported speech, voice, and clauses. Students learn to use these rules to improve writing, with key areas including proper comma usage, active voice, and correct preposition use.
PARTS OF SPEECH
GRAMMAR
PUNCTUATION
Further than just identifying parts of speech, students practice using them to make more mature-sounding and professional sounding sentences
​
For verbs, Mastering regular and irregular verbs is cruicial to make your essays more better-sounding.
​
For modifiers like adjectives and adverbs, correctly placing and being less repetitive with adjectives and adverbs will avoid boringness and childish sounding essays.
​
For pronouns, making sure your pronouns are used correctly because you can say "he threw the ball" but there might be two males in the scene. That creates confusion and a bad usage of pronouns.
​
Therefore, your writing isn't a high level if you don't know your part of speech.
Students are expected to achieve mastery over advanced punctuation marks that enhance the precision of their writing.
Semicolons: Linking two or more closely related independent clauses.
Colons: Introducing lists, quotes, or explanations.
​
Apostrophes: correctly marking possession or short for words (he's)
​
Hyphens and dashes: Differing between and correctly applying these types of punctuation.
