WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF SPEECH?
Although English has hundreds of thousands of words, every one can be
placed into at least one of eight groups, or classifications. The system of classifying
words based on their function is known as the parts of speech.
The eight parts of speech are
noun
pronoun
verb
adjective
adverb
preposition
conjunction
interjection
Learning about the eight parts of speech will help you understand the
grammar explanations of some of the mistakes you make and figure out how to
correct them.
Because some words can be used in several different ways, you have to look
at what a word is doing in a specific sentence before you can classify it (name its
part of speech). For example, look at these sentences.
He ran fast so he wouldn’t be late. (describes how he ran...adverb)
They will fast to raise money for UNICEF. (tells about an action...verb)
Their fast lasted for three days. (names a thing...noun)
