Noun
Nouns are a person, place, or thing (or even an abstraction, such as an idea). They can take on myriad roles in a sentence, from the subject of it all to the object of an action or any other (literal) thing in between. They are capitalized when they're an official name of something or someone. For example pirate, Caribbean, ship, freedom, Captain Jack Sparrow
Pronoun
Pronouns stand in for nouns in a sentence. Examples: I, you, he, she, it, ours, them, who, which, anybody, ourselves
Verb
Verbs are what happens in a sentence. They're either action words or show the state of being (is, was) of the subject of the sentence. They change form based on tense (present, past) and the subject of the sentence (singular or plural). Examples: sing, dance, believe, seem, finish, eat, drink, be, become
Adjective
Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns. They specify which one, how much, or what kind. Examples: hot, lazy, funny, unique, bright, beautiful, poor, smooth
Adverb
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or even other adverbs. They specify when something happened, where, how, why, and how much. Examples: softly, lazily, often, only, hopefully, softly, sometimes
Preposition
Prepositions show a relationship between a noun (or a pronoun) and the other words in a sentence. They come at the start of a prepositional phrase. For example: up, over, against, by, for, into, close to, out of, apart from
Conjunction
Conjunctions join words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence. Examples: and, but, or, so, yet, with
