SUMMARY

PARTS OF SPEECH
We have eight Parts of Speech:
The verb, the noun, the pronoun, the preposition, the adjective, the adverb, the conjunction, and the interjection.

The same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in other sentence.

The Verb: it is the most important part of a sentence. The verbs express actions, events, or states of being.

The Noun: it is a word used to name a person, animal, thing, place, and abstract idea.

The Pronoun: a pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he", "which", etc.

The Adjective: an adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words.

The Adverb: an adverb can modify a verb, a phrase, or a clause. An Adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, and answer questions such as "how", "when", etc.

The Preposition: a preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrase to other words in a sentence. The word or phrase that the preposition introduces is called the object of the verb.

The Conjunction: you can use it to link words, phrases, and clauses.

The Interjection: an interjection is a word added to a sentence to convey emotion.
