GRAMMAR.

RAMMAR is the art of writing
or speaking a language cor-
rectly.  There are eight dis-
tinct parts of speech, named
as follows : Noun, Pronoun,
Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Prep-
osition, Conjunction and Inter-
jection.
THE NouN is the name of an object, or some
quality of the same; as knife, horse, house,
sharpness, speed, beauty.  Nouns are of two
classes, proper and common. A proper noun
is the name of an individual object; as EFngland,
William, Washington; and should always be
capitalized. Names given to whole classes are
common nouns; as sea, land, army, tree, etc.
A PRONOUN is a word that takes the place
of a noun ; as "He reads," "1She studies,"
"It falls."
AN ADJECTIVE is a word used to describe a
noun; as "sweet cider," "educated people,"
"fast horse."
THE VERB is a word that expresses action;
as "He runs," " She sleeps," " It falls."
