4. Nouns
Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing
or idea.
Example : Mary Jane, Sumedang, chair
Possessive Nouns
To show ownership, one must add an apostrophe
s to the end of a singular noun, or just an
apostrophe to a plural noun.
Example
• Danny’s pen is on the chair.
• Girls’ hair might be long.
5. Pronouns
Pronouns are words used in place of nouns to
shorten a repeated noun that has already been
mentioned. The noun that the pronoun replaces is
called the antecedent of the pronoun.
Example :
My girlfriend goes shopping a lot. She spends a bunch
of money on garbage.
In these last two sentences, ‘she’ is the pronoun, and
‘girlfriend’ is the antecedent.
There are many forms of pronouns, such as
personal, possessive, reflexive, intensive, indefinite,
demonstrative, interrogative, relative and
reciprocal.
6. Adjectives
They add information to sentences by telling us
more about nouns and pronouns, usually by
describing, identifying, or quantifying those
words. Adjectives usually come before the words
they modify, but sometimes follow linking verbs.
Examples : Amy is an excellent girl. That excellent
girl is Amy.
Quantifying adjectives come in the form of
articles and numbers such as an, and a.
7. Adverb
• An adverb is defined as a word that gives more
information about a verb, adjective or other
adverbs.
• Example in the sentence: She runs slow, slow
describes how sue performs the adjective, runs.
In the sentence She runs very slow, very describes
the adverb slow, and tells how slow she runs.
• Most, but not all adverbs end in ly, but not all
words that have ly in the end are adverbs. Ugly is
an adjective. Supply can be a noun.
Usualy, adverbs end in ly are from adjective + ly.
8. Preposition
A preposition is a word, which shows relationships
between other words in the sentence. Relationships
between words can be in the form of time or space.
A preposition always goes with a noun or pronoun, which
is called the object of the preposition.
The preposition and the object of
the preposition together are called a prepositional
phrase.
Example :
I went to your house yesterday.
Don’t worry, she’ll be here in 15 minutes.
9. Conjunction
• A conjunction is a word that connects
words, or groups of words, to tell something
about the relationship between these words.
Example :
are, and, or, but, and so
(coordinating conjunctions)
whether, though and because
(subordinating conjunctions)
10. Interjection
• An interjection is a word, or a short phrase used
to express emotion or surprise. Interjections are
often sentence fragments, or stand by
themselves.
• Interjections are also often used as commands, or
as part of a protest.
• Interjections are very important, and that’s why
they are mentioned last, but not least, in the
eight parts of speech.
• Example : wow, yeah, geeze, ouch, well, hi
