We found that nouns and verbs often change their meaning. Sometimes nouns can disappear when translated from English into Russian, and the verb becomes an adverb. But numerals never change their meaning. They are staying the same.

 

5. The analysis of students knowledge according to the topic " parts of speech" and the mistakes commonly made by students

investigated 2 groups of students. The investigation was focused on mistakes made by students on the topic "parts of speech". The investigation presented the following results.our questionnaire students had to write the correct answer. The first question is " How many parts of speech are there in English language? " 4 students consider that in English language there are 9 parts of speech, 3 students consider that in English language there are 8 parts of speech, 2 students could give no answer to this question, and only 1 considers that in English language there are more than 10 parts of speech. There were only 10 students, but they had so different variants.we gave 9 sentences which comprise the words of different parts of speech and students had to identify the parts of speech and write the correct answer. The second question is " I bought a beautiful dress at the mall. ". Nobody was mistaken. Students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word " beautiful" is an adjective.third question is " What did she ask you to do? ". There was one mistake. 9 students gave the correct answer to this question, only one made a mistake, 9 students consider that the word "she" is a pronoun and one student thinks that the word "she" is an adverb.fourth question is " I left my shoes under the kitchen table. " There is no mistake. Students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "under" is a preposition.fifth question is "If we finish our work quickly we can go to the movies. " There was one mistake. 9 students gave the correct answer to this question, only one made a mistake. 9 students consider that the word "quickly" is an adverb and one student think that the word "quickly" is an adjective.sixth question is " On Saturdays I work from nine to five. " There was no mistake. Students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "work" is a verb.seventh question is "Well, I dont think I will be here to answer the phone". There are were mistakes, which students made. Only 5 students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "well" is an interjection. 4students consider that the word "well" is an adverb. And only one thinks that the word "well" is a conjunction.eighth question is "Andy knocked on the door but nobody answered." There were 2 mistakes, which students made. 7 students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "but" is a conjunction, 3 consider that the word "but" is a preposition.ninth question is "After lunch lets go out for a coffee. " There were many mistakes, which students made. Only 6 students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "after" is a preposition, 4 consider that the word "after" is an adverb, one considers that the word "after" is a conjunction. So only one student considered the word "after" to be a conjunction. And only one student didnt know what part of speech it is.tenth question is "Look! He is sitting on an old chair and is snoring loudly. " There were no mistakes which students made. Students gave the correct answer to this question. They consider that the word "chair" is a noun., basing on this investigation, we find out students from 2 groups well oriented in the classifications of the part of speech. Answering the question about how many parts of speech are there in English language students gave different opinion, its not strange, because many scholars have many controversies.purpose of our practical part is to show different parts of speech and their changes to other parts of speech. When we translated from English into Russian languages we can see no changes in the parts of speech. And we think that almost numerals cannot change their parts of speech. Analyzed this book, we have found that only numerals didnt change their parts of speech. Its very interesting on what the classification should be based - in the form of (and changes in shape), or the meaning or function in a sentence, or all of these points taken together, moreover how to classify parts of speech. We assume it should take into account everything: form and function, and value. However, it must be remembered that the form can be recognized in any language. To analyze, in this case, the classification can be based on a short and easily applicable definitions.

 

Conclusion

this research we found out interesting facts, what have been discussed earlier. Foreign scientists rarely adhere to traditional patterns of parts of speech; most of them prefer the original classification and new terms. Those who still adhere to traditional destinations provide 8 or 9 parts of speech. Despite the logic and sequence of all the classifications, which have been discussed earlier. There was classic and innovative, but they didnt show us all peculiarities and relationships exist in the language system.problem of parts of speech is one that causes great controversies both in general linguistic theory and in the analysis of separate languages. The term "parts of speech" (as well as the corresponding terms in Russian, German, French, and other languages), though firmly established, is not a very happy one. What is meant by a "part of speech" is a type of word differing from other types in some grammatical point or points., it has been said that there are eight parts of speech. A problem arose, however, because authorities could not agree on exactly what the parts of speech are.to the Purdue University Online Writing Lab, the eight parts of speech are: nouns, pronouns, articles, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. However, the University of Ottawa Writing Centre lists the eight parts of speech as: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection. At first, it was thought that a compromise could solve this dilemma.University of Victoria English Language Centre says there are nine parts of speech, including both articles and interjections. South Texas College concurs. The debate, however, is far from over."Cambridge Grammar of the English Language" now claims that pronouns are a subset of nouns. It also drops the term "articles" and replaces it with with a new category called "determinatives."to be outdone, the English Department (Linguistics) at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, openly admits that the so-called eight parts of speech "is not quite enough to cover the reality of English."
