English online grammar exercises Free English Grammar Lessons and Tests HyperGrammar Welcome to HyperGrammar electronic grammar course at the University of Ottawa's Writing Centre. This course covers approximately the same ground as our English department's ENG 1320 Grammar course. The content of HyperGrammar is the result of the collaborative work of the four instructors who were teaching the course in Fall 1993: Heather MacFadyen, David Megginson, Frances Peck, and Dorothy Turner. David Megginson was then responsible for editing the grammar and exercises and for converting them to SGML.

English Parts of Speech Every single word we use belongs to one of eight word groups or parts of speech. Wow! Did you hear that? You'll learn about all eight word groups below, and you'll transform yourself into a grammar guru. 3. Verbs show actions or states of being. Linking verbs, action verbs, and helping verbs are described on the page above. Modals are described here, and you can learn even more about action verbs and linking verbs here. The shuttle flew into space. 4. Adjectives describe, or modify, nouns and pronouns. The wise, handsome owl had orange eyes. 5. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. The extremely cute koala hugged its mom very tightly. 6. Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or a pronoun and some other word in the rest of the sentence. The frog sat in the flower. 7. Conjunctions join two or more words, phrases, or clauses The hummingbird sat and waited. 8. Interjections show excitement or emotion. Wow! Did you know that most words can function as multiple parts of speech?
