A part of speech is a category of words (or, more generally, of lexical items) which have similar grammatical properties.

Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar behavior in terms of syntax – they play similar

roles within the grammatical structure of sentences – and sometimes in terms of morphology, in that they undergo

inflection for similar properties. The traditional English parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun,

preposition, conjunction, and interjection.

Parts of speech

NOUNA word (other than a pronoun) used to

identify any of a class of people, places, or things (common noun), or to name a

particular one of these (proper noun)i.e Fatima,Ali,Karachi I

pronoun

A word that is used in place of a noun is called pronoun i.e he, she, it, they, their, them.For example ,Ali is a boy. He is very intelligent boy.He stands first in the class.

verb

• A verb that shows some action is called verb i.e run,come,go,eat,drink.A verb is an important part of a sentence.There are some examples of verbs.Ali drinks milk.Fatima comes to school etc.

Adverb

• A word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb, expressing manner, place, time, or degree (e.g. gently, here, now, very ). Some adverbs, for example sentence adverbs, can also be used to modify whole sentence

ADJECTIVE

• A word that qualifies the noun is called adjective i.e Ali is a good boy. Fatima is an intelligent girl. The sky is blue. These are all examples of adjectives.

preposition

1. A word or group of words used before a noun or pronoun to relate it grammatically or semantically to some other constituent of a sentence etc at;in ,out,over, from;up,down.These are all prepositions.

conjunction

• A word or pharase that joins words or groups of words. There are three kinds of conjunctions: coordinating, correlative, and subordinating. Coordinating conjunctions include and, but, or, not, yet, for, and so. Correlative conjunctions include the words in the pairs either/or, both/and, and neither/nor. Subordinating conjunctions begin subordinate clauses ( see subordination ) and join them.

Interjunction

Interjections are words or phrases used to exclaim or protest or command. They sometimes stand by themselves, but they are often contained within larger structures.Wow! I won the lottery! Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
