3. Part of speech
There are eight parts of speech in the
English language: noun, pronoun, verb,
adjective, adverb, preposition,
conjunction, and interjection.
6. A noun is the name of a person,
place, thing, or idea.
Noun
Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not
always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter;
common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural,
concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's.
Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for
example, a noun can be a subject or object.
8. A verb expresses action or being.
Verb
The verb in a sentence expresses action: There is a main
verb and helping verbs.
"She can sing."
Sing is the main verb; can is the helping verb.
She is a teacher.
'is' shows being.
12. Simple sentence
Always start with capital letter.
Only proper noun in the middle of the
sentence can start with capital letter.
End with full stop or period.
