When children study grammar, one of the most basic lessons they learn involves the parts of speech . The term refers to the category to which words are assigned based on how they function in a sentence. Knowing and understanding the parts of speech help children avoid grammar errors and write more effectively.

The eight parts of speech

English grammar is composed of eight basic parts of speech:

• Nouns : Name a person, place, thing, or idea. Some examples are "dog," "cat," "table," "playground," and "freedom."
• Pronouns : Take the place of a noun. You might use "she" in place of "girl" or "he" instead of "Billy." 
• Verbs : Show action or a state of being. Verbs include the words "run," "look," "sit," "am," and "is."
• Adjectives : Describe or modify a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives give details such as color, size, or shape. 
• Adverbs : Describe or modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. These words often end in "-ly," such as "quickly," "quietly," and "softly."
• Prepositions : Begin phrases called prepositional phrases that describe the relationship between other words in the sentence. Words such as "by," "to," and "between" are prepositions. Examples of their use in a sentence include: "The girl sat by the lake." "The boy stood between his parents."
• Conjunctions : Join two words or clauses. The most common conjunctions are "and," "but," and "or." 
• Interjections : Show strong feeling. They're often followed by an exclamation point, such as "Oh!" or "Hey!"

Try some fun activities with your children to help them learn to identify each part of speech. One activity could be using a different colored pencil for each part of speech and underlining them in old magazines or newspapers.

Print out these parts of speech worksheets for your children to complete:

In this section, you’ve learned about different parts of speech with examples and sample sentences. Each part of speech plays a unique role in creating meaningful sentences.

How To Determine A Part Of Speech In A Sentence

To determine a part of speech in a sentence, look at the word being used, its context, and what meaning it brings to the sentence structure. Here are some questions you can ask about a particular word:

• Is it a person, place, idea, name, or thing?  It is a  noun .
• Is the word used in place of a noun?  It is a  pronoun .
• Does the word convey an action, occurrence, or state of being?  It is a  verb .
• Does the word modify a noun?  It is an  adjective .
• Does the word modify a verb, adjective, or itself?  It is an  adverb .
• Is the word placed in front of a noun to form a modifying phrase?  It is a  preposition .
• Does the word link a phrase or clause?  It is a  conjunction .
• Is the word a quick expression of emotion?  It is an  interjection .
• Is the word placed before a noun to clarify it?  It is a  determiner  or an  article .

By asking these questions, you can identify the correct part of speech for any word in a sentence.

Parts of Speech and Sentence Construction

Simple/basic sentences.

In its simplest form, a sentence can have one  independent clause .

For example, the sentence “I walk to the store” contains one clause.

• “I” is the subject of the clause, while “walk” is the verb.
• The ending phrase, “walk to the store” would be the verb phrase, or  predicate , of the sentence.

This entire sentence “I walk to the store” is an independent clause, expresses one subject doing one action — and is known as a  simple sentence .

Knowing this, apply the fact that nouns and pronouns will often be the subjects or objects of simple sentences, while verbs will convey actions. So once again:

• I  (subject, pronoun)
• walk  (verb)
• to  (preposition)
• the  (article)
• store  (object, noun)

Complex Sentences

Complex sentences contain an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. These sentences use conjunctions such as  because, since, which,  or  who  to connect clauses. Consider the structure and an example below:

• Independent Clause:  She reads a book
• Dependent Clause:  because she wants to learn

By combining these clauses, one forms a complex sentence:  She reads a book because she wants to learn.

Other examples of complex sentences:

• Although the weather was cold, they decided to go for a hike.
• She completed her assignment before she went out with her friends.
• When you finish your homework, we can go to the movies.
• Because my coffee was too cold, I heated it in the microwave.
• If you save your money, you can buy a new bicycle.

Here is a sentence that contains every part of speech:

Words with More Than One Job

Many words in English can have more than one job, or be more than one part of speech. For example, "work" can be a verb and a noun; "but" can be a conjunction and a preposition; "well" can be an adjective, an adverb and an interjection. In addition, many nouns can act as adjectives.

To analyze the part of speech, ask yourself: "What job is this word doing in this sentence?"

In the table below you can see a few examples. Of course, there are more, even for some of the words in the table. In fact, if you look in a good dictionary you will see that the word " but " has six jobs to do:

• verb, noun, adverb, pronoun, preposition and conjunction!

What Are Parts of Speech?

In the English language, words are categorized into different parts of speech based on their roles and functions in sentences. Each part of speech plays a unique role, enabling us to communicate effectively. Let’s explore the main parts of speech :

Types of Parts of Speech

Here are types of parts of Speech :

1. Nouns: Nouns are the names of people, places, things, or ideas. They form the foundation of any sentence, giving it substance and meaning. For example, “dog,” “school,” and “freedom” are all nouns.

2. Pronouns: Pronouns are words used to replace nouns. They make sentences less repetitive and smoother. Common pronouns include “he,” “she,” “it,” and “they.”

3. Verbs: Verbs are action words. They describe an action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs bring sentences to life. Examples include “run,” “think,” and “is.”

4. Adjectives: Adjectives modify or describe nouns, adding detail and imagery to sentences. They tell us more about the noun’s qualities. Adjectives include words like “happy,” “blue,” and “tall.”

5. Adverbs: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They provide information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action happens. Adverbs often end in “-ly,” like “quickly” or “happily.”

6. Prepositions: Prepositions show the relationship between nouns or pronouns and other words in a sentence. They indicate location, time, and direction. Common prepositions include “on,” “in,” “at,” and “under.”

7. Conjunctions: Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. They establish relationships between different parts of the sentence. Examples include “and,” “but,” and “because.”

8. Interjections : Interjections are short, exclamatory words that express strong emotions. They stand alone and are often followed by an exclamation mark. Examples include “wow,” “oh,” and “o ch.” u

7. The Conjunction (Connectors or Linking Words)

This part of speech refers to a word that joins two or more words, phrases, or clauses. There are three kinds of conjunctions:

• Coordinating Conjunctions: These are the words that join words, phrases, and clauses of equal grammatical importance in the sentence. Example: and, but, or, so, nor, for, yet.
• Correlative Conjunctions: These are the words that join equally important ideas, but they work in pairs. Example: either...or, both...and, not only...but also, neither…nor, whether…or, either…or.
• Subordinating Conjunctions: These are the words that join words, phrases, and clauses that are not equal. Example: because, although, while, since, after, as, as if, before, even if, even though, if, so that, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether.

8. The Interjection

• This part of speech refers to a word or phrase that expresses strong, sudden emotions. 
• It expresses strong feelings of joy, sadness, surprise, appreciation, condemnation, etc. 
• Since interjections are commonly used to convey strong emotions, they are usually followed by an exclamation mark but in case of mild interjections, a comma is placed after the interjection.
• Example : Ouch!, Alas!, Oh!, Bravo!, Fantastic!, Gorgeous!, Wow!, Hurrah!, Pooh!, Pshaw!, Fie!, Gosh!
• Ouch !  I hurt my foot.
• Hurray !  Next week is a vacation.
• Hey !  You made a mistake.
• Oh ,  we’re late for the meeting.
• Oh !  I’m late for my appointment.
• Wow !  I passed the driving test.

The word "beautiful" describes the noun "flowers," so it is an adjective.

Note 1: Articles and determiners like a, an, the, some, any, etc., are also adjectives but they are studied separately due to their importance in modifying the meaning of the word they qualify.

Note 2: Same Word – Several Parts of Speech

There are words that can be used in more than one way. This implies that a word can function as several different parts of speech. The function of a word in a sentence decides to which part of speech it belongs.

Note the highlighted words in the following sentences:

• She likes to watch plays  on TV. (noun)
• He plays  basketball during his free time. (verb)
• I would like a drink . (noun)
• They drink  too much soda. (verb)
• Alex bought a new sofa  for his living room. (noun)
• She is planning to buy a sofa  bed for her guest room. (adjective)

This is a transcript of Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech on Thursday night in which she formally accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination for the presidency.

OK, let’s get to business. Let’s get to business. All right.

So, let me start by thanking my most incredible husband, Doug. For being an incredible partner to me, an incredible father to Cole and Ella, and happy anniversary, Dougie. I love you so very much.

To our president, Joe Biden. When I think about the path that we have traveled together, Joe, I am filled with gratitude. Your record is extraordinary, as history will show, and your character is inspiring. And Doug and I love you and Jill, and are forever thankful to you both.

And to Coach Tim Walz. You are going to be an incredible vice president. And to the delegates and everyone who has put your faith in our campaign, your support is humbling.

So, America, the path that led me here in recent weeks was, no doubt, unexpected. But I’m no stranger to unlikely journeys. So, my mother, our mother, Shyamala Harris, had one of her own. And I miss her every day, and especially right now. And I know she’s looking down smiling. I know that.

So, my mother was 19 when she crossed the world alone, traveling from India to California with an unshakable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer.
