Eight Parts of Speech: Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun,

the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection. Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next.
