Learn Parts of Speech

Each English word can be categorized into one part of speech. Therefore, understanding parts of speech is one of the key steps to learning grammar. The good thing about learning parts of speech is that you will be in a position to describe how each word in the English language can be used.

Here are different parts of speech.

1. Noun – a word that describes a place, thing or person, for instance, “bank”.

2. Article – they precede nouns in a sentence. They are “a”, “the”, “an”.

3. Verb – a word that describes an action, for instance, “write”.

4. Pronoun – a word that can take the place of a noun, for instance, “she”.

5. Adjective – modifies/describes a noun/pronoun, for instance, “black”.

6. Adverb – modifies a verb or an adjective, for instance, “clearly”.

7. Conjunction – joins to parts of a sentence, for example “and”.

8. Preposition – used with noun/pronoun to create a phrase that modifies other parts of speech, for example, “down”.

9. Interjection – words that illustrate an emotional state, for instance, “ouch”.
