Parts of Speech

     Every English word has its own part or category in the sentence to make sense in a certain order. There are eight parts of speech in English. They are:

1. Nouns

Nouns are what you call a person, animal, plant, object, place, abstract stuff etc.
-> John, tiger, school, Mount Everest, honesty, time, pen, cow, Kuala Lumpur, thought, sweetness, friendship, length, speed.

2. Verbs

Verbs are the "action"words. Words that describe what you DO. 
-> eat, think, write, cry, work, laugh, continue, throw, forget, take, buy, sell.

3. Pronouns

Pronouns are word that takes the place of a noun so that you don't have to repeat writing a person's name. 
-> they, we, I, you, he, she, it.

4. Adjectives

Adjectives are words that describe a noun or a pronoun. Words that help tell us more about something or someone. 
-> good, fine, red, rich, round, fast, cold, strong, tall, short, broken.

5. Adverbs
 Unlike adjectives, adverbs are words that describes a verb. They tell us more about how somebody does something. 
-> walk (verb) quietly (adverb), come here, fall suddenly, answer correctly, did well, never fail.

6. Prepositions

Prepositions are words that show relation between one thing and another. 
-> against, in, on, above, under, below, from, to, around, since, during, except, until, over, among, across.

7. Conjunctions

Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases and clauses.
-> for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
* FANBOYS = For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So

8. Interjections

Interjections are words that expresses emotions and feelings.
-> Hello! Oh! Stop! Whut! Hi! Ah!

     To clearly express the eight parts of speech in a sentence, this is an example.

-> Hey! I just bought these apples and oranges from that huge supermarket.

~ Hey! (Interjections) I (Pronoun) just (Adverb) bought (Verb) these apples (Noun) and (Conjunction) oranges from (Preposition) that huge (Adjective) supermarket.
