I leaned a lots about parts of speech but as the above questions I will be giving example in a sentence form.

1.The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

2.She ate a sandwich for lunch.

 Discussions:

From sentence 1:"The": is an article (a type of determiner) "quick brown, lazy":  they are both adjectives (modifying nouns) while "fox, dog": are nouns (subjects and objects) "jumps": is a verb (action) "over": is a preposition (showing relationship)  

From sentence 2:"She": is a pronoun (subject) "ate": is a verb (action) "a": it's an article (a type of determiner) - "sandwich": is a noun (object) "for": is a preposition (showing purpose) "lunch": is a noun (object)  


Some important parts of speech to note: Articles(the, a) specify nouns. Adjectives (quick, brown, lazy) describe nouns. Verbs(jumps, ate) show action or state. Prepositions(over, for) show relationships between words. Pronouns:(she) replace nouns in sentences .

These are all I can contribute and I appreciate learning with you guya
