Parts of Speech

Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.

Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.

Noun: A noun is a person, place, thing, quality, or act.

Examples: pencil, girl, supermarket, happiness

Verb: Verbs are action or existence words that tell what nouns do.
Examples: to fly, to run, to be, jump, lived

Adjective: An adjective describes a noun.
Examples: hairy, crazy, wonderful

Adverb: An adverb describes a verb, adjective, or adverb. It often ends in "ly".
Examples: carefully, easily, barely

Interjection: An outcry or sudden utterance. Usually starts a sentence.
Examples: Wow, Gosh, Darn

Preposition: A preposition describes the relationship between a noun and another noun (or verb or adverb).
Examples: to, under, for, at, by, from

Conjunction: A conjunction joins together words, phrases, or clauses.
Examples: and, or, but

Pronoun: A pronoun replaces a noun or noun phrase that is understood from context.
Examples: he, it, they
