I am learning parts of speech lessons in this course. Eight parts of speech were very clearly understood to me. They are very useful and important to understand every English lesson. So, I want to describe all of the parts of speech.

The parts of speech are:

1.Nouns (name a person, place, thing , or idea)

Examples - teacher, Robert, college, California, phone, cat, success, loyalty

Robert lives in a small apartment in California with his wife and two cats.

2.Pronouns (take a noun's place)

Examples - he, it, you, they, I

He teaches college courses.

3.Adjectives (describe a noun or pronoun)

Examples - smart, cute, expensive, black, incredible

His black cat only eats expensive food. The cat is cute, but it is picky.

4.Verbs (describe an action or a state)

Examples - teach, eat, talk, achieve – be, feel, think, believe

His wife works as a teacher, too. She loves her job.

5.Adverbs (describe a verb, adjective, or adverb)

Examples - clearly, happily, here, well, intelligently, always

They always go to work together. This is a very useful arrangement.

6.Prepositions (show a relationship of place, time, location, or direction between words)

Examples - in, on, over, at, to

On Saturdays, they go to the beach.

7.Conjunctions (connect words, phrases, and clauses)

Examples - and, so, because, but, if, when

Robert and his wife are happy because their life is perfect.  

8.Interjections (tell emotion or surprise)

Examples - yay, oh no, oops

Yeah, life is good for Robert, his wife, and their two cats. Cheerio!
