The part of speech lesson is an eye opener.I love the last activity in the section ,it  has really helped me to see some words in a new light and made me pay more attention to the context in which a word is used.

One of which was "all" 

In the phrase 

burned "all" her clothes 

I was amazed to see "all" standing out as an adjective.This is because I've been used to common adjective that shows clearly it's describing a noun e.g beautiful, expensive, hot etc  but it took me quiet some time to place "all" as an adjective.

Now I see it expressing the entire quantity of the noun 'cloth'.

I've learnt a lot and it has opened me up to further studies.
