An Introduction
We use Parts of Speech in our daily conversations and day-to-day life. Today you will realize that every syllable you utter out of your mouth is a part of speech. Every single word belongs to one of the eight categories of parts of speech, according to their work and uses in the sentence. Eight Types of Parts of Speech and their UseNow without any further ado, let's introduce you to these parts of the speech. There are eight categories, and they are as follows:
NounThe noun is the name of any person, place, or thing. The noun "thing" includes all the things which have a name and can be seen, tasted, heard, touched, or smelled by you. It also includes anything that we could think of, but our feelings cannot comprehend. For example:
PronounThe Pronoun is the word which we use instead of a noun. For say, if we keep using a person's name in writing or speech, it would be an inappropriate sentence and will take away the essence of the sentence. Hence instead of using the name, we use a pronoun to denote that person or thing. The pronoun's words include I, me, she, he, you, us, their, ours, etc. Following are the examples:
AdjectiveIt is the word that describes or stresses the quality of the noun or person, place, or a thing. The following example will help you understand better.
VerbA verb is a word that describes the state of a person or thing. A verb tells us what a person or thing does, or what has been done to a person or thing. They are the action words that describe the action done by a person or thing. For example,
AdverbIt is a word that adds meaning or adjective to the verb. The word which describes the quality of the verb is an adverb. The following are the examples to make you understand better, and darkened words are adverbs.
PrepositionIt is a word that is used with a noun or pronoun to establish a relation between a noun or pronoun concerning something else. Following are the examples:
ConjunctionA conjunction is a word that is used to join sentences or phrases. Read the below examples for better understanding. Here, bold words are conjunctions.
Interjection:It is the word that expresses an exclamation that is a sudden reaction, feeling, or emotion of happiness, despair or anger, etc. Follow the examples below:
