When I was in Sec 1, I failed my English exams.
I didn't know what was a 'verb, noun, adjective or adverb', and there was a whole section where one had to identify all the verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs in the passage. I left the whole thing blank.
It was quite an event for me to be called into the staff room to sit my with English teacher while she explained to me what I could do to improve my English.
She didn't tell me what a verb was or anything about the rest. She asked me to read more books.
Fortunately it was the mid-year exam.
