Understanding and using the parts of speech correctly is fundamental to mastering English grammar and improving both writing and speaking skills. In this section I learnt:
Nouns: Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. They can be subjects or objects in a sentence, and are essential for identifying what or whom we are talking about. Example: The dog barked loudly.
Pronouns: Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition and They make sentences less repetitive and smoother. Example: She loves reading books.
Verbs: Verbs describe actions, states, or occurrences and are crucial as they indicate what the subject is doing or what is happening. Example: He runs every morning.
Adjectives: Adjectives describe or modify nouns and provide more detail about the noun, making sentences more descriptive. Example: The blue sky looked beautiful.
Adverbs: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often end in “-ly”. They provide more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. Example: She sings beautifully.
Prepositions: Prepositions show relationships between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence and They help indicate time, place, direction, and other relationships. Example: The book is on the table.
Conjunctions: Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses. They help in forming complex sentences and showing relationships between ideas.Example: I wanted to go, but I was too tired.
Articles: Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific (e.g., “a,” “an,” “the”). They help clarify whether we are referring to something specific or something more general. Example: The cat sat on a mat.
