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
