Parts Of Speech

The fundamental grammatical categories into which words are categorized based on their syntactic and semantic roles in a sentence are known as parts of speech. The following are the main parts of speech in English:

 

  1  Noun: a word that describes an individual, place, thing, or concept. Examples: city, love, and a dog

 

  2   Pronoun: a word substituted for a noun in order to avoid repetition. Examples: they, it, she, and he.

 

  3   Verb: a word that describes something that happens, happens, or is. Examples: Eat, run, and think.

 

   4 Adjective: a word that describes or changes the meaning of a noun or pronoun. Examples: tall, happy, and blue.

 

   5  Adverb: a word that changes the form of a verb, an adjective, or another adverb and gives information about the way, time, place, degree, and other things. Examples: frequently, quickly here.

 

  6  Preposition: a word that indicates a connection between a sentence's other words and a noun or pronoun. Examples: between, in, on, and at

 

  7 Conjunction: a word that links phrases, words, or clauses together. Examples: and, however, or

 

8  Interjection: a word or phrase used to convey surprise or strong emotion. Examples: Wow, my bad.

 

 9   Determiner: a word that introduces a noun and provides context or information about the noun's possession, quantity, or other characteristics. Examples: my, the, an, this.

 

It is important to keep in mind that numerals (one, two, and three) and articles (a, an, the) may be categorized as distinct parts of speech by some sources, while others view them as distinct kinds of determiners or adjectives by others. Gerunds, infinitives, and participles—verb forms used in particular syntactic roles—may also be recognized by some grammatical frameworks as additional parts of speech.
