MODIFICATIONS OF THE PARTS OF SPEECH.


LESSON 78.

NOUNS AND PRONOUNS.

You have learned that two words may express a thought, and that the thought
may be varied by adding modifying words. You are now to learn that the
meaning or use of a word may sometimes be changed by simply changing its
_form_. The English language has lost many of its inflections, or forms, so
that frequently changes in the meaning and use of words are not marked by
changes in form. These _changes_ in the _form, meaning_, and _use_ of the
parts of speech, we call their +Modifications+.
