Word types divide into nine parts of speech, such as nouns, prepositions, adjectives, and adverbs.
(See examples below.)

Some traditional grammars have treated articles as a distinct part of speech. Modern grammars more often include articles in the category of determiners, which identify or quantify a noun. Even though they modify nouns like adjectives, they are different in that articles are an essential part of the proper syntax of a sentence, and determiners are necessary to convey the meaning of the sentence.

Adjectives are optional parts of a sentence.

In contemporary linguistics, the label part of speech has generally been discarded in favor of the term word class or syntactic category.

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

Articles and Determiners
Articles and determiners function like adjectives by modifying nouns, but they are different than adjectives, in that they are necessary for a sentence to have proper syntax. Examples: articles: a, an, the; determiners: these, that, those; enough, much, few; which, what

Interjection
Interjections are expressions that can stand on their own as complete sentences.

Answer:

THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH

There are eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. The part of speech indicates how the word functions in meaning as well as grammatically within the sentence. An individual word can function as more than one part of speech when used in different circumstances. Understanding parts of speech is essential for determining the correct definition of a word when using the dictionary.

1. NOUN

A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.

man... Butte College... house... happiness

A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.

2. PRONOUN

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.

She... we... they... it

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun, which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is the girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.

3. VERB

A verb expresses action or being.

jump... is... write... become

The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.

4. ADJECTIVE

An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.

pretty... old... blue... smart

An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a, an, the] are usually classified as adjectives.)

5. ADVERB

An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

gently... extremely... carefully... well

An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but never a noun. It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.

6. PREPOSITION

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence.

by... with.... about... until

(by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)

A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list includes the most common prepositions:

7. CONJUNCTION

A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.

and... but... or... while... because

A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as well.

8. INTERJECTION

An interjection is a word used to express emotion.

Oh!... Wow!... Oops!

An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an exclamation point.
