Important Note
I have to find a way to categorize the parts of speech, like articles and prepositions. Charles does not address this issue in my notes. Originally I placed them all under the thing category, but that did not seem correct. At the moment I am putting them under a category entitled parts of speech.Symbol | ![]() |
