Part of Speech

Parts of speech are the basic types of words that English has. Most grammar books say that there are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns,

conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. We will add one more type: articles.
It is important to be able to recognize and identify the different types of words in English, so that you can understand grammar explanations and use the right word form in the right place. Here is a brief explanation of what the parts of speech are: 1. Noun A noun is a naming word. It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or action. Examples: cowboy, theatre, box, thought, tree, kindness, arrival Nouns (nouns) can be divided into two, namely the objects that can be counted (countable nouns) and objects that can not be calculated (uncountable nouns). A description of the Noun (noun) can be seen in the table below.
COUNTABLE NOUNS I eat an apple every day. I like apples. Apple is a thing that can be counted (countable noun). Objects that can be counted, divided into two. namely: Singular noun (singular = one object) plural object (plural = 2 items or more), for plural noun must end with the addition of the letter "S". example: An apple = single Apples = plural Example Countable Nouns: book, chair, song, cup, lamp, ambulance, accident, etc. Example Uncoubtabe Nouns: music, sand, money, luck, water, electricity, etc. UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS I eat rice every day. I like rice. Rice is a thing that can not be calculated (uncountable noun). Objects that can not be calculated only have one form only (eg rice). We can not use numbers to objects that can not be calculated.

2. Pronoun A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun. Examples:

a. Personal pronouns: I, mine, me; you, yours; he, his, him; she, hers, her; it, its; we, ours, us; they, theirs, them. b. Interrogative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, what c. Relative pronouns (include): who, who, whose, which, that; whoever, whomever, whichever d. Demonstrative pronouns: this, that, these, those e. Indefinite pronouns (include): all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, many, neither, nobody, no one, none, one, others, some, somebody, someone, such f. Intensive or reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves 3. Verb

A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something). Examples: walk, talk, think, believe, live, like, want

The verbs are divided into two, namely Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs.

4. Adverb An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened. Examples: slowly, intelligently, well, yesterday, tomorrow, here, everywhere
Sam drives carefully along road. She speaks English perfectly.

5. Adjective An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun.
We use adjectives (adjectives) before nouns (nouns), for example: Shelly is a beautiful singer. They are smart student. He speaks perfect English. We use adjectives (adjectives) after some verbs, especially the "be", and also "look, feel, sound, etc", for example: Please be quiet. I am hungry.

I feel happy.

6. Preposition A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence. Examples: on, in, by, with, under, through, at

An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks.
