Question:
Name the part of speech of each word in the following sentence and give reason for the classification.
I am reading an interesting book.
I = pronoun.
' I ' is pronoun because the subject is using the word ' I ' in place of her original name which is a noun and we know that pronoun is used in place of a noun.Hence ,the word ' I ' is pronoun.
am = helping verb .
' am ' is a helping verb as it is helping the main verb to form a tense in the above sentence and we know that helping verb helps the main verb to form a tense. Hence the word' am ' is helping verb.
reading = main verb.
'reading ' is main verb because it is the forth form of verb and it is showing some work done by the subject.
an = article .
we know that A,An and The are called articles.
interesting = adjective .
The word ' interesting ' is adjective as it is modifying the book which is a noun and we know that an adjective is a word which modifies noun or pronoun.Also it is showing the quality of book that it is interesting so the ' word' interesting is adjective.
book = it is a noun in objective case .
The noun which is used as the object of a verb is said to be in objective case and same situation we can see in the above sentence .
