1. BackgroundParts
of Speech in English means types of words or word classes. Called parts of
speech because parts of speech or parts of sentences (remember, basically
sentences in language are sentences that are not spoken).So, the words are
"basic ingredients" in a sentence "building", not the word "function" in the
sentence. Why is that? Because a word can have several (more than one)
functions in a sentence.There are several types of Parts of speech, namely
noun, adjective, adverb, pronoun, and so forth. Each type has a different
meaning and function.
Parts of speech or also called types of word are the parts used to form a

parts of speech, what do you want to use to form sentences? Consider this
sentence: My family moved to Jakarta yesterday.
