Today, I have learned the eight parts of speech, and for me able to remember these is that I use “IVAN CAPP” as an acronym. These are important to understand as they are the foundation for creating sentences. Its like a building block of English, enabling us to speak, communicate, and write.
The Eight Parts of Speech (IVAN CAPP)
1) I-Interjection: It’s like an emotion often followed by exclamation mark.
Ex: Wow! that's amazing!
2) V-Verb: Action words
Ex: Anna is walking around the plaza. (helping verb: is, main verb: walking)
3) A-Adverb: It describe a verb
Ex: Anna ran quickly to chase her dog.
4) N-Noun: Name of a person, places, things, events, and ideas.
Ex: The bag on the table is mine. (things)
5) C-Conjunction: To connect two or more phrase or sentence.
Ex: Anna wanted to go to the plaza, however, her mom didn't let her.
6) A-Adjective: Describes noun/pronoun
Ex: Anna is beautiful.
7) P-Pronoun: It’s like a noun, but you use “she(pronoun)”, instead of Anna(Noun)
Ex: While Anna was on her way to school, she realized that she forgot his notebook.
8) P-Preposition: This shows the position of things
Ex: The book is under the table.
