What are Parts of Speech?
They are also known as word classes composed of nouns, pronouns,
verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.
We can categorize English words into 8 basic types or classes. These classes are called "parts of speech". It is also the "building blocks" of a language.
In grammar, a part of speech (also a word class, a lexical class, or a lexical category) is a linguistic category of words (or more precisely lexical items), which is generally defined by the syntactic or morphological behaviour of the lexical item in question.
The eight parts of speech are very important in our learning.
Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.

The Parts of Speech
ReplyDeleteTraditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.
The parts of speech are important because they show us how the words relate to each other.
ReplyDeleteFor example, let's take the words "hit," "Kevin" and "Brian."
Now, they are just words, they don't really tell us something.
But, as soon as we assign each word a role (a part of speech), and put them into a sentence, we actually get something meaningful:
"Kevin hit Brian."
Subject = Kevin
Verb = hit
Object = Brian
However, if we change the role (part of speech) of a word, the meaning can become completely different:
"Brian hit Kevin."
Subject = Brian
Verb = hit
Object = Kevin
So as you see, the role of the word in a sentence (which part of speech it is) actually helps to understand the sentence.
