Full overview
In this lesson, we will learn how words work alone and together in predictable ways to express meaning. To accomplish this, we will look at commonly confused words, how to consult a dictionary and the eight parts of speech.
In this lesson, we will learn how sentences are built and how words combine to form clauses and phrases. We will explore the formation of complete sentences, including avoiding run-ons and fragments. The use of regular and irregular verbs will also be reviewed.
In this lesson, we will learn how punctuation is a code that works with the words and sentence structure we've learned about in lessons 1 and 2 to clarify meaning. Here we will focus on commas, periods, exclamation points, and all common punctuation.
In this lesson, we will learn paragraphs and essays come together from a combination of sentences, in the same way that sentences come together as combinations of words and punctuation. We will look at the structure of writing, and how paragraphs are formed. We will also explore writing styles and organizing writing.
NOTE: While cellular hotspots may allow access to our courses, users may experience connectivity issues by trying to access our learning management system. This is due to the potential high download and upload latency of cellular connections. Therefore, it is not recommended that students use a cellular hotspot as their primary way of accessing their courses.
NOTE: While we understand that our courses can be viewed on Android and iPhone devices, we do not recommend the use of these devices for our courses. The size of these devices do not provide a good learning environment for students taking online or live online based courses.
