PARTS OF SPEECH
• IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, WORDS CAN
BE CONSIDERED AS THE SMALLEST
ELEMENTS THAT HAVE DISTINCTIVE
MEANINGS. BASED ON THEIR USE AND
FUNCTIONS, WORDS ARE CATEGORIZED
INTO SEVERAL TYPES OR PARTS OF SPEECH.
THIS ARTICLE WILL OFFER DEFINITIONS
AND EXAMPLES FOR THE 8 MAJOR PARTS
OF SPEECH IN ENGLISH GRAMMAR: NOUN,
PRONOUN, VERB, ADVERB, ADJECTIVE,
CONJUNCTION, PREPOSITION, AND
INTERJECTION.
NOUN
This part of a speech refers
to words that are used to
name persons, things,
animals, places, ideas, or
events.
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a part of a
speech which functions as a
replacement for a noun.
Some examples of pronouns
are: I, it, he, she, mine, his,
hers, we, they,
theirs, and ours.
PREPOSITION
This part of a speech
basically refers to words
that specify location or a
location in time.
CONJUCTION
The conjunction is a part
of a speech which joins
words, phrases, or
clauses together.
ADJECTIVE
This part of a speech is
used to describe a noun
or a pronoun. Adjectives
can specify the quality,
the size, and the number
of nouns or pronouns.
VERB
this is a word that shows
an action (physical or
mental) or state of being
of the subject in a
sentence.
ADVERB
Just like adjectives,
adverbs are also used to
describe words, but the
difference is that adverbs
describe adjectives,
verbs, or another adverb.
MARKET MAKERS
• Another trick is to offer more variety. At one time, Procter & Gamble was selling
35 variations of Crest toothpaste. New York –based Market Intelligence Service
found that only 7% of the 25,500 new packaged products launched in America
in 1996 really offered new or added benefits.
