A Form-Function English Grammar: Level 1 (Lesson 1)

A Form-Function English Grammar consists of three levels of grammar workbooks and texts: Elementary Series, Junior High Series, and High School Series. Level 1 is the first workbook in the elementary series. Lesson 1 teaches about nouns. A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. The word the can go before a noun.

The goal of Level 1 is to introduce many of the word classes (parts of speech, grammatical forms) of English. Level 1 includes nouns, determiners, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, and interjections. Level 1 also introduces noun phrases. In addition to forms, Level 1 also introduces some functions of the English language including subject and predicate.

Level 1 is recommended for ages 5 to 7 in kindergarten through first grade.
