Summary
Word classes, or also known as parts of speech of speech, refer to the way in which particular words are used.
Words can be divided info classes according to the way in which they are used. The eight main word classes are
Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs, Adverbs, Pronouns, Prepositions,Conjunctions,and Interjections.
a. Nouns
Thet hings, animals, and people in the world around us all have names. These names are called nouns.
Nouns are often known as “ naming” . We can easily describe them as they physically exist. We call these
as concrete nouns. There are also nouns for things that don’ tphysically exist. They are called abstract
nouns. Words like love, hatred, loyalty and betrayal are abstract nouns. Nouns (or pronouns) and verbs
are the only essential components of a sentence.
b. Adjectives
Adjectives tell us what people, animals, and things are like. They describe nouns and tellyou more aboute
them.They might tell you what things look, sound, or feel like.
c. Verbs
Verbs describe actions, suchasfly, study, and fall. The person or thing that does the action of the verb is
the subject. The subject always comes before the verb.
Sometimes the verb has to change a little to match the subject. We add -sor-esto the end of the verb if the
subject is a single thing that you call he, she, or it.
Some verbs change in different way stomatch the subject.
The subject of a verb comes before the verb. It tells you who or what does the action of the verb. Some
verbs need something else after them, other wise the sentence doesn’ t make sense. The person or thing that
comes after the verb is called the object. The object tells you who or what receives the action of the
verb. We call the verbs that need an object as transitive verbs. But some verbs don’t need an object and
make sense on their own.Those verbs are called intransitive verbs. We can classify verbs into main
verbs and auxiliary verbs. Most main verbs can be allocated to one or more of three groups. They are
transitive verbs, in transitive verbs, and linking verbs.
d. Adverbs
Verbs tell you what things do. For example, “ tigers roar” and“ birds sing” . Adverbs tell you how,
when, where, and how often a thing is done. Adverbs are mostly connected to verbs.
e. Pronouns
Sometimes we don’t want to keep repeating the same noun over and over again. Instead,we can use a
pronoun to replace the noun.
f. Prepositions
We use prepositions to show how different nouns relate to each other in a sentence. Prepositions are
small words, such as on, in, to, and with. We usually use prepositions forplace and time.
Prepositions of place Some prepositions tell us where something is or which direction it goes in.
Prepositions of place are used to relate the position or location of one thing toanother. Using a different
preposition usually changes th emeaning of a sentence.
Some prepositions tell us when something happens or how long it lasts. Prepositions oftime are often used
to talk about schedules and routines.
Some prepositions link nouns in other ways such as expressing relationships other thanplace and time,
such as origin, owner ship and absence.
g. Conjunctions
Some sentences are quite simple and only give one idea. If you want to join more than oneidea together in
the same sentence, you can use a conjunction to link the ideals.
h. Interjections
An interjection is a single word that expresses a thought or feeling. You often shout or sayinterjections
loudly, and so they are often followed by an exclamation point.
