Unreleased Draft from [3-18-17]: Rapid synopsis for stories (maybe the first idea for Grammar Fuel?)

A [ general main char description: 1 adjective, 1 noun] [action verb] (to, at, in) [general location; 1 adjective, 1 noun] must [general conflict or goal].


[Notes to this previously unreleased draft: This short one sentence structure may represent the first time period when I was beginning to think about doing something like Grammar Fuel Series. As you may see, I have adjective, noun, action verb, prepositions, and such laid out in a sentence. If I can't find any other older post then this might be the first time for such an idea. 

I did not release this post because I did not have the material to make it happen. Now that Grammar Fuel is published, I can release this Rapid Synopsis material which may now be usable and possible. I have at least one other post that I remember which has even more detail or an example that I will release maybe next.]

Grammar Review (Balarila): Parts of Speech

I want to do a series of posts on English grammar. At the same time, I will do a Filipino Grammar, Balarila. Both are for my own benefit, though you might find it interesting.

In English, there are eight parts of speech in grammar:
Nouns name things.
Verbs declare stuff.
Adjectives describe or limit nouns.
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
Pronouns substitute for nouns.
Prepositions express relationships among words.
Conjunctions join words.
Interjections express feeling or reaction.

Sa Tagalog, siyam na bahagi ng pananalita;
Pangngalan mga pangalan.
Panghalip panghalili sa pangngalan.
Pandiwa nagpapahayag kilos o buhay sa salita.
Panguri naglalarawan sa pangngalan at panghalip.
Pang-abay naglalarawan sa pandiwa, panguri, at iba pang-abay.
Pangatnig naguugnay dalawang salita.
Pang-angkop binabago at samahan ang mga salita.
Pang-ukol nagpapahayag ugnayan sa panahon, lawak, at pagganap.
Pantukoy nangunguna sa pangngalan at panghalip.
Pangawing o Pangawil nagkakawing ng paksa at panaguri.

SCAMPER = KUPBABI

Kapalit
Umangkop
Pagsamahin
Baguhin, bawasan, mapakinabangan
Alisin
Baligtarin
Iba pang gamit

Random World Association = Sanpalarang salita kaugnayan

That was very fun!
