Words are divided into eight parts of speech according to their use: noun, adjective, pronoun, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. A noun names a person, place or thing. An adjective adds meaning to a noun, while a pronoun is used instead of a noun. A verb expresses action or state.
