Grammar Starter: Word classes revisited!
Definition
:
Sentences are made up of different word classes. Here are the main ones:Adjective = A word that modifies (describes) a noun.Adverb = A word used to describe a verb.Verb = An action or state of being (a ‘doing’ word). Noun = A word used to name something or someone (objects, names, people).Pronoun = A pronoun is used instead of using a noun or a name. Connective = A word which joins phrases, clauses and sentences together.Example: She thought the stars sparkled brightly because the night sky was black.

Clouds covered the crescent moon. In the narrow winding streets of the Tsiyonim
Quarter of
Arcassanne
, the shutters were tightly barred, the doors double-locked against the night...and the darker shadows who stalked the night. Rahab the tailor was still working in his garret, bending close over his work by the light of one oil-lamp. What was that noise outside? Startled, he pricked his finger. Casting down the work so that he should not stain it with his blood, he paused, listening. The night's silence hurt his straining ears. He went to the casement window and threw it open, gazing down into the dark three storeys below. 'Who's there?' he shouted. There was a shudder of movement. Someone - or something - had slipped out of the shadows and was running away. 'Stop!' Rahab's voice echoed, reverberating in the narrow alley. Shutters opened, heads leaned out into the night. Rahab went hurtling down the rickety stairs and out into the street. He almost fell headlong over the bundle left lying on the doorstep. Picking himself up, he bent to see what had tripped him. A large heap of old clothes dumped outside - Whose idea of a joke was it, to leave stinking rags outside the tailor's? Clouds scudded away from the moon. In the moonlight Rahab caught sight of the hand protruding from the bundle. A little hand. A child's hand.
