Hi everyone! 👋
If you’ve ever wondered how sentences are built, the answer lies in the 8 parts of speech. These are the building blocks of English grammar. Here's a quick guide to each:
1. Noun – The naming words
These name a person, place, thing, or idea.
📝 Examples: girl, city, car, happiness
2. Pronoun – Replaces a noun
Used to avoid repeating the same noun.
📝 Examples: he, she, it, we, they
👉 Instead of saying “Lisa is kind. Lisa helps others,” we say “Lisa is kind. She helps others.”
3. Verb – Action or being words
Shows what the subject does or is.
📝 Examples: run, sing, is, have
👉 He runs every morning.
4. Adjective – Describes a noun or pronoun
Tells what kind, how many, or which one.
📝 Examples: blue, tall, five, happy
👉 She wore a beautiful dress.
5. Adverb – Describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb
Often tells how, when, where, or to what extent.
📝 Examples: quickly, very, now, too
👉 He ran quickly to the station.
6. Preposition – Shows position or relationship
Connects a noun or pronoun to another word.
📝 Examples: in, on, at, under, by
👉 The cat is under the table.
7. Conjunction – Joins words or groups of words
📝 Examples: and, but, or, because, although
👉 I wanted to play, but it started to rain.
8. Interjection – Expresses strong feeling
Often followed by an exclamation mark.
📝 Examples: Wow!, Oh!, Oops!, Yay!
👉 “Wow! That was amazing!”
