versatile.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>For example, the word &ldquo;oil&rdquo; can be used in noun, verb, adjective, and adverb forms.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span>&ldquo;Oil has caused many world conflicts.&rdquo;<span>&nbsp; <\/span>&ldquo;Mario Andretti oiled his racing car.&rdquo; &ldquo;Warren Buffett bought more oil stock.&rdquo;<span>&nbsp; <\/span>&ldquo;The iguana&rsquo;s belly felt oily.&rdquo;<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Advantages of learning the parts of speech are gaining a better understanding of their grammatical interrelationships, strengthening teaching self-confidence in the actual classroom setting, and improving writing skills.<span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Because of the absence of a central authority regulating English use or grammar, there is no one correct way to sub-categorize the parts of speech.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Additionally, there are other long-standing grammatical disagreements still remaining to be resolved.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>A few noteworthy examples are correct comma usage, and whether determiners should be unbundled from adjectives and made an independent speech part heading.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>And interestingly, an internet website indicated that some academicians had defrocked the pronoun, by eliminating it as an independent speech part and sub-categorizing it under the noun. <span>&nbsp;<\/span>Moreover, in its description of the English parts of speech, another educational website omitted any reference whatsoever to the interjection.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Are there anymore sacred cows out there in &ldquo;speech part land&rdquo; awaiting full or near extinction at the &ldquo;altar?&rdquo;<span>&nbsp; <\/span>If so, will a universally accepted English language authority triumphantly appear and come to their rescue?<span>&nbsp; <\/span>Place your bets!<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented below is a quick, handy, and comprehensive reference guide to the English
