In this lesson, Headmaster William Michael of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy leads students through Lesson 2 of Arnold’s English Grammar for Classical Schools, focusing on the eight parts of speech. Students learn how substantives, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections form the foundation of all language. Drawing from Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, the lesson shows how grammar reflects the very structure of thought and reality—how words signify what things are, what they do, and how they relate. This classical approach restores the unity between language, logic, and truth that guided centuries of Catholic education.
