There are eight main parts of speech in the English language:
Nouns : they name people, animals, places, things, qualities and states e.g. Paul, Paris, a table.
Adjectives : they are used to describe a noun e.g. young, small, red.
Articles : they help defining words, e.g. a, an.
Verbs : they show an action or a state of being. They can be transitive or intransitive e.g. to invite, to eat.
Adverbs : they can describe a verb, an adjective or another adverb e.g. slowly, really, quickly.
Gerunds : they are the -ing form of a verb. They can be used as nouns e.g. as a subject : playing tennis is fun; e.g. as an object : I love playing tennis.
Pronouns : they are words used in place of a noun e.g. she, me, ours.
Prepositions and conjunctions : a preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show the relationship between them e.g. by, for,
until, about. Conjunctions join words or groups in a sentence e.g. and, but, or.
A sentence must always consist of at least a subject and a verb. The part of speech indicates how the word functions within the sentence. It is important to understand the parts of speech to determine the correct definition of a word.
