Parts of speech

Parts of speech are categories that describe how words function in a sentence. They include nouns (people, places, things), verbs (action or state of being), adjectives (describe nouns), adverbs (describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs), pronouns (replace nouns), prepositions (show relationships between words), conjunctions (connect words or phrases), and interjections (express emotions). Recognizing these categories helps us understand sentence structure and meaning. Each part of speech plays a specific role, working together to form clear and effective communication.
