THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH

 There are eight parts of speech in the English language: 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. An individual word can function as more than one
part of speech when used in different circumstances.
Understanding parts of speech is essential for determining the
correct definition of a word when using the dictionary
NOUN
 A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.
 Here are some examples:
 Person: man, woman, teacher, John, Mary.
 place: home, office, town, countryside, America.
 Thing: table, car, banana, money, music, love, dog, monkey.

Patricia is beautiful and will leave in her car.

PRONOUN
 A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.
 He ...She... we... they... It…them..that
 Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons
or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to
emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate
clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.

He is ready to go to work
VERB

 A verb expresses action or being.

 The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and
sometimes one or more helping verbs

Running, jogging and walking are Jose's favorite exercises

ADJECTIVE
 An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.
 It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many.

“The small dog barked loudly.” – “small dog” is modifying the noun “dog.”
ADVERB
 An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb,
but never a noun.
 It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what
conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

Charlize never answers her phone.

 CONJUNCTION
 A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.
 Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and,
but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that
are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc.

Michael is a very beautiful girl and she is very intelligent.

PREPOSITION
 A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase
modifying another word in the sentence.
 by... with.... about... Until
 Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The
prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an
adverb.

The Red House of Carlos is next to the pine tree

 INTERJECTION

 An interjection is a word used to express emotion

 It is often followed by an exclamation point.
 Oh!... Wow!... Oops!

Cheers, congratulations!!!
ARTICLES
 Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of
adjective.
 The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of
the noun is known to the reader.
 The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its
identity is not known. There are certain situations in which a noun takes no
article.

I have a dog (one dog).

CONCLUSION

 The Eight Parts of Speech. There are eight parts of speech in the
English language: 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.
 Each of them are essential to have an excellent communication and
at the same time we are all able to know how to use them in the best
way.
