Parts of Speech

When we speak and write we use different kinds of words. Words are divided into eight classes according to the work they do in a sentence. They are:

1. Nouns
2. Pronouns
3. Adjectives
4. Verbs
5. Adverbs
6. Prepositions
7. Conjunctions
8. Interjections

These word classes are often called Parts of Speech.
A noun is a word that names or refers to a person,animal,place or thing. For example,  shopkeeper, dog, China, fan, Rohan  etc...
A pronoun is a word used in the place of a noun. The main pronouns are-I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them...
An adjective is a word that tells us about noun and pronoun. For example, clever, beautiful, large, white, long etc.
A verb is a word which shows action. For example eat, speak, sleep, weep, go, learn, teach etc.
An adverb is a word that mainly adds to the meaning of a verb and says how, when or where something happens. For example, carefully, well, now, tomorrow,here, there, yesterday, sweetly, happily are adverbs.
A preposition is a word used before a noun or pronoun to show time, place, method etc. For example at, on, in, by, with, over, under, above etc.
A conjunction is a joining word such as and, but, so, because, if, and though. It joins words or group of words.
An interjection is a word spoken suddenly to express a strong feeling. Oh, hurrah, wow, hey, hello are interjections.
