III. Easy Answer Questions:

1. Explain about Parts of Speech?

A. A. There are eight basic parts of speech in the English language. These are
noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and
interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning
as well as grammatically within the sentence.

place of a noun. A verb expresses action or being. An adjective modifies or
describes a noun or pronoun. An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an
adjective, or another adverb. A preposition is a word placed before a noun or
pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence. A
conjunction joins words, phrases or clauses. An interjection is a word used
to express emotion. You should be able to use these parts of the speech in
making sentences.
