 Part Of Speech Overviews - Definition and Classification

Part of speech refers to the grammatical category to which a word belongs, based on its function within a sentence. The parts of speech in English are as follows:

Noun: a word that refers to a person, place, thing, idea, or concept (e.g., cat, city, love)

Pronoun: a word that takes the place of a noun or a noun phrase (e.g., he, she, they)

Verb: a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being (e.g., run, sing, be)

Adjective: a word that modifies a noun or pronoun by describing, quantifying, or identifying it (e.g., red, big, happy)

Adverb: a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb by describing how, when, where, or to what extent (e.g., quickly, very, here)

Preposition: a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence (e.g., in, on, at)

Conjunction: a word that connects words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, or)

Interjection: a word or phrase used to express strong emotion or surprise (e.g., oh, wow, hey)

It is important to understand the parts of speech in order to understand how words are used in a sentence and how they contribute to the overall meaning of the sentence.
