Parts of Speech
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun, which is called its antecedent.
In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is the girl.
Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.
Examples:- She... we... they... it
VERB
Examples:- jump... is... write... become
The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.)
A verb must agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.
ADVERB
Examples:- gently... extremely... carefully... well
An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun.
It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.
CONJUNCTION
Examples:- and... but... or... while... because
A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet.
Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.
PREPOSITION
Examples:- by... with.... about... until (by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)
A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase.
The prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list includes the most common prepositions:
INTERJECTION
Examples:- Oh!... Wow!... Oops!
An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation point.
ADJECTIVE
Examples:- pretty... old... blue... smart
An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as adjectives.)
NOUN
A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea.
Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract.
Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always.
Examples:- man... Butte College... house... happiness
