Parts of Speech
Verbs = show actions, events, or a state of being. Verbs are typically referred to as being regular or
irregular, transitive or intransitive, main or auxiliary or modal. More on these divisions on the verb page.

Nouns = are persons, places, things, or ideas (concepts). Nouns can be used in a variety of ways
including being the subject or object of a sentence. They can also be indirect objects, subject or object
complements or adjectives.

Pronouns = as one of the eight parts of speech are used to replace nouns, noun phrases or even other
pronouns.

Adjectives = modify nouns and pronouns by giving more information by describing, quantifying, or
identifying the words.

Adverbs = modify verbs, adjectives, adverbs, or phrases by answering the 'how' something is done by
indicating manner, time, place, cause, or degree.

Conjunctions = link words, phrases, and clauses. "FANBOYS" (i.e., for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.)

Prepositions = link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence by showing time, manner,
movement, place or position.

Interjections = are one of the eight parts of speech used to express emotion or illustrate a feeling of
exclamation.
