Día Mundial de la Visión (1).gif

Good evening friends of Steemskillshare, Today a little late due to internet failures I come to present my publication giving answers to the professor @massachussets homework; since I am an English student. Without further ado, let's get started.

1. Explain in your understanding the definition of Word

A word is a sound or sequence of sounds that are represented by letters, to achieve a meaning; the union of several words leads to a sentence or phrase. It should be noted that each word has a specific function within a sentence.

2. List the word classes and give 5 examples each.

Nouns are used to name or identify people, place, thing, idea or quality. Example: Self noun: Diana.
Singular noun: Moto.
Plural noun: Carros.
Common noun: Glass.
Concrete noun: table.
Abstract noun: Hope.

Prononym: This word is used in place of the noun; Examples: I, you, he, us, we, you, they, them, that, who, whom, me, my, my, their.

Verb: This word is used to express the action of the sentence. Example: To work, to run, to sleep, to play, to sing, to touch, to know.

Adjective: This word is used to add meaning to a noun or pronoun. Examples: tall, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, happy, ugly.

Adverb: This word is used to modify the meaning of a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Examples: Quickly, obviously, most, most, very, too, today, yesterday.

Preposition: This word is used to show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another part of speech. Examples: since, in, between, towards, to, until, for, by, according to.

Conjunction: This word is used to connect words, phrases, and clauses within the same sentence. Examples: and, but, but besides, or, or, although.

Interjection: This word is used to express a sudden emotion that has no connection with the rest of the sentence. Examples: ah well, wow, Ah!, hey, oh.

3. Explain the two kinds of words.

Open Class: Those words with lexical meaning, the number of terms that comprise it can increase; that is, it refers to the category of content words, i.e., parts of speech (or word classes) that readily accept new members. The open classes in English are nouns, lexical verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

Closed class: The category of function words, i.e., parts of speech (or word classes) that do not readily accept new members. Closed classes in English include pronouns, determiners, conjunctions, and prepositions.

4. Research open classes and list about 5 examples of invented words in the field of information technology.

5. Research on closed classes and give 5 examples as well. Try and explore more.

Close, a lot, against, since, nothing, someone.

I hope this assignment delivers. Thank you very much.
