Parts of Speech

Foundation beginner easy

The eight word classes that English sentences are built from.

Foundation — The building blocks of English grammar.

Rules

1. Noun — names a person, place, thing or idea (cat, Mumbai, freedom). 2. Pronoun — replaces a noun (he, she, it, they). 3. Verb — shows action or state (run, is, think). 4. Adjective — describes a noun (beautiful, tall). 5. Adverb — describes a verb, adjective or another adverb (quickly, very). 6. Preposition — shows relation (in, on, at, with). 7. Conjunction — joins words or clauses (and, but, because). 8. Interjection — expresses emotion (wow, ouch).

Explanation

Every word in a sentence belongs to one of the eight parts of speech. The same word can act as different parts of speech depending on context, e.g. "book" can be a noun (I read a book) or a verb (I will book a ticket).

हिंदी में

शब्दों के आठ भेद होते हैं — संज्ञा, सर्वनाम, क्रिया, विशेषण, क्रिया-विशेषण, संबंधसूचक, समुच्चयबोधक और विस्मयादिबोधक। एक ही शब्द वाक्य में अलग-अलग भूमिका निभा सकता है।

Examples

She sings beautifully. — वह सुंदर गाती है।
The tall boy ran quickly. — लंबा लड़का तेज़ी से दौड़ा।

Common Mistakes

{"mistake":"He goed to school.","correction":"He went to school.","note":"\"goed\" is not a word; \"went\" is the past of \"go\"."}
