The document defines and provides examples of the eight parts of speech in English: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. For each part of speech, it gives the definition, examples of words that fall into that category, and an example sentence using one of those words. The source for this information is listed at the end.

names a person, place, thing,

• A verb is a word which describes

something about the noun.

followed by exclamation marks.

no!, Ha!
