In our conversation we use different words. Each word has a specific function. The words are divided into various classes, according to their use. All the words in English can be classified into eight classes which are called parts of speech. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A noun is a naming word.
e.g. : boy, tree, king, Hyderabad, rose, happiness, etc.
Kinds of nouns : Nouns are divided into four kinds. They are :
1. Proper Nouns : A proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, river, country, mountain, etc.
Kumar (person), Delhi (place), Godavari (river), Sri Lanka (country), Vmdhyas (mountains)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Common Nouns : A common noun refers to a kind or class of things.
e g. : tiger, sugar, wall, bag, building, etc.
Common Nouns are again classified into countable nouns and uncountable nouns.
Countable Nouns : These can be counted.
Eg : boys (ten boys), flowers (three flowers, etc.)
Uncountable Nouns : These cannot be counted. They remain in mass, e.g. : Copper, rice, water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Collective Nouns : They are the groups of the same class.
e.g. : crowd, herd, government, army, family, parliament, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Abstract Nouns : They are the names of quality or state.
e.g. : Kindness, childhood, youth, fear, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pronoun is a word used instead of a noun.
e.g. : he, she, it, we, mine, those, etc.
Personal pronouns : I, me, you, he him, etc.
Reflexive pronouns : myself, herself, himself, themselves, itself, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An adjective is a qualify defining word.
e.g. : beautiful (Mar. \u201919), clever, neat, enough, red, pure, etc.
Kinds of Adjectives :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A preposition is a word placed before a noun or a pronoun to show in what relation the person or thing denoted by it stands in regard to something else.
Kinds of Prepositions :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A verb shows action, state, possession, change in state.
e.g. : laugh, say, sing, gather, kill, etc.
Kinds of verbs :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Adverb modifies the meaning of a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
e.g. : She writes neatly.
Kinds of Adverbs :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A joining word is a conjunction.
e.g. : and; or; but; if
Kinds of Conjuctions :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The words which express sudden feeling or emotion are Interjections.
e.g. : Oh ! Hurrah ! Alas ! Hello ! Ooch ! Hey !, etc.
Sing a song about the parts of speech in English.
A noun is the name of a thing.
As a school, a garden, a kite, or a king;
Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As great, small, pretty, white, or brown;
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand,
He, she, it, I, you, we, they-all in hand;
Verbs tell us of something being done,
To read, count, laugh, cry, or run;
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, very, or well;
Conjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind and weather,
The preposition stands before Ac noun, as in near or through a door;
The interjection shows surprise,
As-Oh ! Ow ! Aha ! Ah ! How wise !
These are the eight parts of English speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember that the part of speech of a given word is decided by the part that word plays in a sentence. The same word may function in various ways in different sentences. Look at the examples Carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
