O There are eight main parts of speech (also known as word classes): nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. Part of Speech 1. Noun A noun is the name of a person, place, thing or idea. O Example : Some marine invertebrate animals construct their shells or hard parts by extracting calcium and carbonate ions from seawater. 2. Pronoun A pronoun is used in place of a noun or noun phrase to avoid repetition. O Example : Apart from their scientific significance, the sedimentary rocks have been a controlling factor in the development of industry, society, and culture 3. Adjective An adjective describes, modifies or gives more information about a noun or pronoun. O Example : The gravel is usually smooth and well rounded, suggesting the grains were rounded during transport. 4. Verb A verb shows an action or state of being. A verb shows what someone or something is doing. O Example : Conglomerate accumulates today at the bases of many mountain ranges, in stream channels, and on some beaches. 5. Adverb An adverb describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It tells how, where, when, how often or to what extent. Many adverbs end in – LY. O Example : Limestone is by far the most abundant chemically precipitated rock 6. Preposition A preposition shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word. They can indicate time, place, or relationship. O Example : After the organisms die, the shells accumulate on the seafloor. 7. Conjuction A conjunction joins two words, ideas, phrases or clauses together in a sentence and shows how they are connected. O Example : The constituents of sedimentary rocks are derived from the mechanical breakdown and chemical decay of preexisting rocks. 8. Interjection An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a strong feeling or emotion. It is a short exclamation. Example : Congrats! You finally got your Master’s degree. Derivative Words O Derivatives are words that are derived from other words,called rootwords. Derivation is the process of creating a new word out of an old word, usually by adding a prefix or a suffix. O Example : 1.They are frequently deposited in river floodplains and deltas and other shallow marine settings. 2.Sediment is moved largely in suspension. 3. It has the simple composition SiO2 and is distinguished by its hardness, its conchoidal fracture, and its glassy luster. Clause A clause is a group of words containing a subject and verb. An independent clause is a simple sentence. It can stand on its own. A dependent clause cannot stand on its own. Dependent clauses often begin with such words as although, since, if, when, and because. O Example : 1. Sedimentary rocks are rare in the Canadian shield(Independent Clause) 2. They are frequently deposited in river floodplains (Independent Clause) 3. When exposed at the surface,.. (Dependent Clause) 4. Although the record is far from complete,.. (Dependent Clause) Phrase O A phrase is a group of words without a subject-verb component, used as a single part of speech. O Example : 1. the most abundant sedimentary rocks 2. usually soft 3. With at least a thin layer of sediment 4. frequently deposited in river floodplains
