Part of speech

Part of speech is a way of categorizing words based on how they are used. We organize words into eight different parts of speech:

1. Nouns: Words that identify people, places, things, qualities, or ideas. For example, book, mom, tree, strength, and beauty.

2. Pronouns: Words that take the place of a noun. For example, I, she, him, we, them.

3. Adjectives: Words that describe nouns. For example, big, red, beautiful, chewy.

4. Verbs: Words that describe an action or state of being. For example, sleep, eat, walk, think, is.

5. Adverbs: Words that describe verbs. For example, quickly, slowly, beautifully, amazingly.

6. Prepositions: Words that describe the relationship between a noun and another word in a sentence. For example, in, on, under, above, between.

7. Conjunctions: Words that link two clauses or sentences together. For example, and, but, so, or, yet.

8. Interjections: Words that express emotion. For example, wow, ouch, yay, oh, hurray.
