[quote=Anonymous]I remember learning these in 3-5 grades back in the 80s. My son has learned some of the basics in 2nd grade (noun, verb, adjective). However, i remember when we learned these in the 80s, it was mostly an exercise of "underline the verb and circle the subject" or "underline the adverb". I don't remember spending a lot of time actively learning the rules, as far as complex sentence structuring. I do remember that I aced all those stupid underlining exercises. But, even then, they were meaningless to me because they had no application in a larger context. But.... I have, and have always had, exceptional writing skills based solely on living life. I have long forgotten what an adverb is, or a pronoun (true story), but have no problem drafting a perfect paragraph. [/quote]
