NOUNS - ADJECTIVES - VERBS - ADVERBS

There are several different parts of speech, which are categories of types of words.
We are going to talk about four of the main eight parts of speech, which are nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Understanding the parts of speech will teach you to
use words properly in a sentence and become a better writer.

Nouns are things, adjectives describe things, verbs are what the things do, and
adverbs are how they do it.

Explanation:

● NOUNS

A noun is a solid thing in the sentence. It could be London, Margaret or box - places,
people and objects all count as nouns. You can think of the entire sentence being a
tent and nouns are the pegs that keep it firmly stuck to reality.

● VERBS

The verb describes what the nouns actually do - which is why they are patronisingly
called doing-words. If Margaret jumps, then she does a jump, meaning jumps is the
verb. Verbs are important because without them nothing actually happens or
changes.

● ADVERBS

Adverb literally means to the verb, because adverbs describe how the verb is done.
Adverbs often end in '-ly', like quickly, furiously, excitedly or dully. In the phrase he
spoke loudly, loudly describes how he spoke, so is an adverb.

● ADJECTIVES

The adjective describes the noun. It acts like an adverb but to the thing rather than
the action. They can range from simple colours and sizes (the big red shoe, where big
and red are both adjectives, because they describe the shoe) to metaphysical
statements, like metaphysical, because it describes statement, the noun. State,
incidentally, is a verb, because it is something you can do.

The study of parts of a sentence is called syntax, which is a noun. Syntactic is the
adjective, and syntactically is the adverb.
