house which type of speech tell me plzzzz?
Answers
Answer:
houseLet’s take this slowly and go back to basics. There are usually considered to be only 8 ways in which words can be used in English sentences. These ways are called ‘parts of speech’.
The eight main parts of speech in English are:
NOUN - (Naming word)
A noun is the name of a person, place, thing or idea.
Examples of nouns: Daniel, London, table, dog, teacher, pen, city, happiness, hope
Example sentences: Steve lives in Sydney. Mary uses pen and paper to write letters.
Is ‘still’ a noun here? is it a name of something? No (but as others have said, it could be used as a noun in a different sentence. Just not here.
PRONOUN - (Replaces a Noun)
A pronoun is used in place of a noun or noun phrase to avoid repetition.
Examples of pronouns: I, you, we, they, he, she, it, me, us, them, him, her, this, those
Example sentences: Mary is tired. She wants to sleep. I want her to dance with me.
Is ‘still’ an pronoun here? Definitely not.
ADJECTIVE - (Describing word)
An adjective describes, modifies or gives more information about a noun or pronoun.
Examples: big, happy, green, young, fun, crazy, three
Example sentences: The little girl had a pink hat.
Is ‘still’ an adjective? It’s beside a pronoun (he) but doesn’t tell us any more about that pronoun, so not a pronoun.
VERB - (Action Word)
A verb shows an action or state of being. A verb shows what someone or something is doing.
Examples: go, speak, run, eat, play, live, walk, have, like, are, is
Example sentences: I like Woodward English. I study their charts and play their games.
Is ‘still’ a verb? does it carry the action of the sentence? No, ‘lives’ is our verb here.
ADVERB - (Describes a verb)
An adverb describes/modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It tells how, where, when, how often or to what extent. Many adverbs end in -LY
Examples: slowly, quietly, very, always, never, too, well, tomorrow, here
Example sentences: I am usually busy. Yesterday, I ate my lunch quickly.
Is ‘still’ an adverb? Does it tell us more about the verb. More tricky: adverbs often end in -ly as in the examples above and ‘still’ doesn’t do that. But the real test is when we ask if it tells us more about the verb.
Adverbs fall into 5 main types: time, place, manner , degree and frequency. So let’s check these out.
Does ‘still’ tell us any more about the time he lived in the house? Well, actually it does - we don’t know exactly how long it has been but we know that he is still there.
Does it tell us about the place - well, sort of, in that there hasn’t been any movement away from the house.
Does it tell us anything about the manner in which he lives? yes, he is still there.
Degree and frequency we can ignore in this care.
Because we have three ticks in the box, we can therefore say definitely that ‘still’ is an adverb here, so we can ignore all the other parts of speech. As to which type of adverb, that’s a whole different question!
PREPOSITION - (Shows relationship)
A preposition shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word. They can indicate time, place, or relationship.
Examples: at, on, in, from, with, near, between, about, under
Example sentences: I left my keys on the table for you.
Definitely not what we have here
CONJUNCTION - (Joining word)
A conjunction joins two words, ideas, phrases or clauses together in a sentence and shows how they are connected.
Examples: and, or, but, because, so, yet, unless, since, if.
Example sentences: I was hot and exhausted but I still finished the marathon.
INTERJECTION - (Expressive word)
An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a strong feeling or emotion. It is a short exclamation.
Examples: Ouch! Wow! Great! Help! Oh! Hey! Hi!
Example sentences: Wow! I passed my English test. Great! – Ouch! That hurt.
