“Parts of Speech” are the basic types of words that make up a sentence. There
are eight parts of speech include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives,
prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
(Slide 3)
A noun is a word that names a person, a place or a thing. For example, Elizabert,
Kuala Lumpur, Acer and more others. There are six classes of nouns, that are
abstract nouns, concrete nouns, common nouns, proper nouns, countable nouns
and uncountable nouns.
An abstract noun is a noun that names an idea, not a physical thing. It is the
opposite of concrete nouns. It also is a name of something that we cannot see
but can feel or think of. For example, hope, interest, love, peace, ability, success,
knowledge, trouble.
A concrete noun is a noun that names a physical thing. Most nouns are concrete
nouns. It is the name of something or someone that we experience through our
senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch or taste. For example, boy, table, floor, coffee,
beach, king, rain, children, professor.

3. Next, common nouns. Every noun can further be classified as common or proper.
A common noun is a noun that names a general thing, not a specific thing. Since
these nouns are not naming anything specific, they do not need to start with a
capital letter unless they begin a sentence. For example, boy, girl, city, country,
company, planet, location, war.
On the other hand, A proper noun is a noun that indicates the specific name of a
thing. It is used for a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun begins with a
capital letter. For example, Robin, Alice, London, Sweden, Google, Earth, Eiffel
Tower, Civil War. Every proper noun has a common noun equivalent but not
every common noun has a proper noun equivalent.
A countable noun is a noun that indicates something you could actually count.
For example, you could count pigs as one pig, two pigs, three pigs and so on. A
countable noun has both a singular and a plural form, and it can be used with the
indefinite articles (a/an). For example, vase, chair, hat.
An uncountable noun is a noun that indicates something you cannot count. For
example, you couldn't count water as one water, two water and so on. An
uncountable noun has only one form (no plural), and it cannot be used with the
indefinite articles (a/an). For example, furniture, advice, mail, news, equipment,
luggage, work, coffee, information.

(Slide 5)
A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun. For example, I, you, he, she
and others. There are six classes of pronouns, that are personal pronouns,
demonstrative pronouns, interrogative pronouns, relative pronouns, intensive
pronouns and indefinite pronouns.
Personal pronouns represent people or things. We use personal pronouns when
we want to refer to people, animals, plants, or things. The personal pronouns are
I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, them.
Demonstrative pronouns point to things. The demonstrative pronouns are this,
that, these, those.
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. The interrogative pronouns
are who, whom, which, what, whoever, whatever and others.
Relative pronouns are pronouns that link different parts of a sentence. It
introduce a clause that describes a noun. The relative pronouns are who,
whom, which, that, whoever and other.

5. An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used for emphasis. In other words, intensive
pronouns emphasize the subject of the sentence. They are written exactly the
same way as the reflexive pronouns, but their function is different.
Indefinite pronouns are pronouns that do not refer to any specific person or thing.
We use indefinite pronouns when we want to talk about people, things, but we
may not know who or what they are. For example, anything, everybody, another,
each, few, many, none, some.

An adjective is a word that describes a person or thing. For example, big, pretty,
expensive, green and others. There are three classes of adjectives, that are
positive adjectives, comparative adjectives and superlative adjectives.
Positive adjectives describe nouns. For example, big, small, large, tiny, enormous
and little.
Comparative adjective show us which thing is better, worse, stronger,
weaker, and so forth. For example, better, worse, bigger, smaller, nicer, fatter,
thinner and more dangerous.

6. Superlative adjectives show us which thing is the best, the strongest, and so forth.
For example, best, worst, strongest, smallest, cheapest and most expensive.

A verb is a word or group of words that express an action or a state. For example,
go, jump, sleep, eat, think, be, change, become, drive, and complete. There are
three classes of verbs, that are auxiliary verbs, stative verbs and dynamic verbs.
Auxiliary verbs are verbs that are used together with the main verb of the
sentence to express the action or state. The main auxiliary verbs are be, am, is,
are, was, were, do, did, have, has, had.
Stative verbs are verbs that express a state rather than an action. For example,
be, seem, love, own, want, sound, have, know, understand.
Dynamic verbs are the opposite of stative verbs. They express a real action. For
example, jump, swim, catch, write, call, sleep, hit, open, speak.

An adverb is a word that describes or gives more information about a verb, an
adjective, another adverb, or even the entire sentence. For example, slowly,
silently, well, badly and very. There are seven classes of verbs, that are adverbs
of degree, adverbs of manner, adverbs of place, adverbs of time, adverbs of
frequency, adverbs of duration and adverbs of probability.
Adverbs of degree show us the strength or degree of the action or state. For
example, very, highly, totally, perfectly, partially, and almost.
Adverbs of manner show us the way the action is done. For example, well, badly,
nicely, slowly, loudly, quietly, happily, sadly, secretly, and weakly.
Adverbs of place show us the location of the action or state. For example, home,
here, there, outside, inside, away, around, anywhere, abroad, up, down, and out.
Adverbs of time show us the time of the action or state. For example, now, soon,
later, yesterday, tomorrow, early, before, lately, and recently.
Adverbs of frequency show us the frequency of the action or state. For example,
always, never, sometimes, often, rarely, usually, and occasionally.

8. Adverbs of duration show us the length of the action or state. For example,
forever, constantly, temporarily, and briefly.
Adverbs of probability show us the chances for the action or state to happen. For
