There are eight parts of speech in English.

They help us understand how every word works in a sentence.


Nouns are names of people, places, things, or ideas.

Pronouns replace nouns so we don’t repeat them too much.

Verbs show actions or states of being.

Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns by giving more details.

Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or even other adverbs.

Prepositions show relationships between words, usually about place, time, or direction.

Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or sentences.

Interjections are short expressions that show strong emotions.


Together, these eight parts of speech help us build clear and meaningful sentences in English.
