  parts of speech What is a Word? A word is an abstract, indivisible unit of a language, written or spoken in prose, which can also be said to be one indivisible unit of thought. A word can only have one definition; there are many words that can mean the same thing. One must understand what it means to define a word correctly as each word has its own unique relationship to other words because one word does not always mean the same thing to different people. It can mean positive and negative emotions, good and bad. If you wish, you may choose to define a word further to add detail; however, this will vary from person-to-person and may not come up in every sentence. In order for all members of a group to understand one another they must all agree on what they consider an acceptable definition and what can be considered taboo for others. Example: My car was smashed into by two cars in front of me while I was driving near the shopping center just north of town. My car had a great de...

Direct and Indirect Speech What is Direct and Indirect Speech? Direct (or primary) and indirect (or secondary) speeches are two types of spoken language that differentiate one another in meaning. It is easy to confuse them, since they are not exactly synonymous. While directness refers to speaking directly and being informative or straight forward, indirectness means the speaker has changed subject, changed topic, or discussed something differently. For instance, if we say "She is talking" but don't mean to, we're describing someone talking, not her talking. When you're learning an accent or using different methods of communication for everyday situations, it's helpful to know which method of speech you'll be using to convey your message. Most often, when people use the words direct or indirect speech in conversations with others their actual intent are clear. So whether you're communicating orally with friends or writing down notes on your phone...
