Part of Speech
A part of speech is a category of words that have similar grammatical properties. Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar syntactic behavior—they play similar roles within the grammatical structure of sentences—and sometimes similar morphology in that they undergo inflection for similar properties.
In English, the main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, adjective, determiner, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.
- Noun: A noun is a word that names something, such as a person, place, thing, or idea. Examples of nouns include dog, cat, house, car, book, teacher, student, happiness, and freedom.
- Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or noun phrase. Examples of pronouns include he, she, it, they, we, you, me, him, her, us, and them.
- Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. Examples of adjectives include happy, sad, big, small, old, new, blue, and green.
- Determiner: A determiner is a word that is used before a noun to specify which noun is being referred to, or to give information about the noun. Examples of determiners include a, an, the, this, that, these, those, my, your, his, her, its, our, and their.
- Verb: A verb is a word that describes an action, state, or occurrence. Examples of verbs include run, jump, eat, sleep, think, and feel.
- Adverb: An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. Examples of adverbs include quickly, slowly, happily, sadly, very, and really.
- Preposition: A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Examples of prepositions include in, on, at, to, from, by, with, and about.
- Conjunction: A conjunction is a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses. Examples of conjunctions include and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet, because, and although.
- Interjection: An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a strong emotion. Examples of interjections include wow, ouch, hooray, and oh no.
Other speech parts are sometimes used in English, such as articles, numerals, and particles. However, the nine main parts of speech are the most important ones to learn.
