Week 2 Webinar: Parts of Speech
I’m posting this PowerPoint presentation instead of a recording of our live webinar
because due to my inexperience with Zoom, the recording of our first webinar didn’t
come out as good as I would have liked. So just for this first webinar (I hope), I’d
rather save you some time and have you view this edited presentation instead.
Thank you to all who were able to attend our live webinar on Tuesday (June 13.)
If you were unable to attend the live webinar, you are required to write a one-
paragraph summary of this PowerPoint presentation and submit it to me via email
before next Monday (June 19) at midnight.
Parts of Speech
A part of speech is a category to which a word is
assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions.
Parts of speech
There are thousands of words in any language. But not all words
have the same job.
For example, some words express "action".
Other words express a "thing".
Other words "join" one word to another word.
These are the "building blocks" of the language.
When we want to build a sentence, we use the different types of
word. Each type of word has its own job.
The eight parts of speech:
1. Noun
2. Verb
3. Pronoun
4. Adjective
5. Adverb
6. Conjunction
7. Preposition
8. Interjection
It's quite important to recognize parts of
speech. This helps you to analyze
sentences and understand them. It also
helps you to construct good sentences.
NOUN
Definition:
A noun is basically a person, place, thing or idea.
Examples:
Person: teacher, boy, mom, David, the president, etc.
Place: Fort Myers, school, field, bathroom, store, etc.
Thing: pen, car, moon, sink, basket, etc.
Idea: liberty, love, fear, imagination, bravery, happiness, etc.
VERB
Definition:
A word that expresses either
an action or a state of being
Examples:
Action verbs or verbs that convey doing something:
run, sleep, fall, speak, watch, swim, etc.
Verbs that convey a state of being: is, am, was, were, are, etc.
•Nouns and verbs are the
foundations of the English language.
•All complete sentences must include at least
some kind of noun and some kind of verb.
Example of a simple sentence made up of a noun and a verb:
Mary reads.
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a substitute for a noun.
Indefinite pronouns:
many, few, all, everyone, nobody, anybody,
none, some, each, someone, another
ADJECTIVE
An adjective is a word or phrase that describes a noun or a pronoun.
Examples: gigantic, cold, blue, silly, intelligent, athletic
“the slow turtle”
“He is weird.”
One special type of adjective is an article, a word that introduces a noun and
also limits or clarifies it. In English, the indefinite articles are a and an. The
definite article is the.
ADVERB
An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another
adverb. Adverbs tell us how, when, where.
Examples:
easily, warmly, extravagantly, mainly, unfortunately
often, now, yesterday, here, there, away
“She walks quickly.”
CONJUNCTION
Words that join words or groups of words
Coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
Correlative conjunctions: either…or, neither…nor, both…and
Subordinating conjunctions: before, after, during, until, whereas
PREPOSITION
A preposition shows how something is related to another word. It shows the
spatial (space), temporal (time), or logical relationship of an object to the rest
of the sentence.
Space: above, near, in, under, outside, within
Time: during, while, after, at
Logic: for, of, concerning, despite
INTERJECTION
Words used to convey emotion through some kind of exclamation
Examples: Oh! Ouch! Whoa! Blah!
You can just insert these words in a sentence and
they’ll convey some kind of abrupt emotion.
• In the English language, there are many words with
multiple meanings.
And also,
• Many words can be used as different parts of speech.
They can play different roles.
• Well as an adverb, verb, noun, adjective, and interjection:
