The Purpose of Knowing Parts of Speech?

I just don't understand why we need to know what a noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, adverb, article, or preposition is. How does this need to be required in our future life?

We already know how to speak English and to write in English. I don't see why this is a necessity.

Besides. Adverbs piss me off because they can't be exclusively categorized. There are constant exceptions.

Also, I don't mean to rant too much. But this has been on my mind for a while now and I'd like to know your opinions on it.

You know, I still check on you guys, right..?

Same thought here.

99% of the things she's saying to you she said to me before, so don't feel so special.

I understand all but adverbs.

It's not like a noob saying math shouldn't be necessary because its too hard.

More of a... What is the future importance of knowing this unless you wanna be an English teacher or a Grammarian.

Helping Verbs and all those other extensions are just plain dumb.
Being specific is overrated.

You know, I still check on you guys, right..?

Yeah I mean I was thinking of being something like a mechanic or something like that and don't think I need to learn more English than I already know for that

English as a whole should be something your parents teach you.

Yeah in my personal opinion i hate those classes, if we already know the language its just LAMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [/quote]

Writing, on the other hand, is very important and I see why.
But... We kinda have AVID for a reason. At least, around here we do.

We should know how to write by the time we enter high school, tho.

The distinguished PopperMan99 spake:

About half the stuff school teaches me seems completely useless in the long run.
Like, there isn't any job where everyone sits and diagrams sentences. Except of course, if your job is to write on how to diagram sentences. Or if your a teacher teaching kids how to diagram.

But. Parts of Speech more than others.

The distinguished PopperMan99 spake:

LaZerChihuahUA Said:[quote]But. Parts of Speech more than others.

Well, yeah. As I said, about half the stuff is useless. Parts of Speech seem pretty nonusable except for when you need to look up a word because you don't know what it means and you happen to know what part of speech it is and there is multiple definitions of the word for different parts of speech.[/quote]

Therefore: pointless.

I was never fond of studying structure either. They made us mark up sentences with different coloured pens and various lines and circles, and it was all rather silly. From my understanding, the point of recognising all the parts of speech just serves as a basis for learning to write properly, nothing more. Truthfully, it did help me while learning stricter French, which in turn made more sense of English modifiers, participles, and whatnot.

Catch my drift.

But...
We already knew how to write so...
