What I've learned is that - the eight parts of speech are fundamental categories of words in English grammar, each serving a unique function in sentence construction. Here's what you might have learned about each:
Nouns: Words that name a person, place, thing, or idea (e.g., teacher, city, car, freedom).
Pronouns: Words that replace nouns to avoid repetition (e.g., he, she, it, they).
Verbs: Words that express actions or states of being (e.g., run, is, talk, seem).
Adjectives: Words that describe or modify nouns (e.g., happy, blue, large).
Adverbs: Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often ending in "-ly" (e.g., quickly, very, well).
Prepositions: Words that show relationships between nouns (or pronouns) and other words in a sentence (e.g., in, on, at, by).
Conjunctions: Words that connect words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, or, because).
Interjections: Words or phrases that express strong emotion or surprise (e.g., wow, ouch, hey).
Understanding these parts of speech helps in constructing sentences that are clear, grammatically correct, and effective in communication.
