Diffination and examples of parts of speech
Answers
There are many types of part of speech which is used on a daily basis to communicate from one person to another.
The verb: Verbs are words that name an action. It can be an active action such as run, jump, or take.
The noun: Nouns are words for people, places and things. Nouns can name feelings or ideas as well.
Pronouns stand in for nouns. He, she, or it, are pronouns that are used instead of the name of the person or the object. Unlike nouns, pronouns never take apostrophes.
The adjective: An adjective provides information about a noun. An adjective describes the noun. Words like big, small, fast, and slow are adjectives. Sometimes a whole phrase can be an adjective, if it is giving information about a noun.
The adverb: Like adjectives, adverbs provide information. Except this time they provide information about verbs. They can be a single word or a phrase. Often adjectives end in -ly.
The preposition: prepositions can have many functions. They can tell us the position of an object (on, under, in). They can tell us a relationship between objects (of, before, after).
The conjunction: Conjunctions are joining words, such as or, and and.
And the interjection. Shoot! I haven't made a page for interjections. Darn! Interjections are words that express surprise. They often come with an exclamation mark......
