    * Some grammar sources categorize English into 9 or 10 parts of speech. At EnglishClub, we use
    the traditional categorization of 8 parts of speech. Examples of other categorizations are:

    Verbs may be treated as two different parts of speech:


    o Lexical Verbs (work, like, run)
    o Auxiliary Verbs (be, have, must)
    Determiners may be treated as a separate part of speech, instead of being categorized
    under Adjectives
    Parts of Speech:
    The words that we use can be divided into these classes:

    noun - A noun is a type of word that represents a person, thing, or place, like
    mother, apple, or valley.
    verb - A verb is a type of word that describes an action or a state of being, like
    wiggle, walk, run, jump, be, do, have, or think.
    pronoun - A pronoun is a substitute for a noun. Some pronouns are: I, me, she,
    hers, he, him, it, you, they, them, etc.
    adjective - An adjective is a word that describes something (a noun). Some
    adjectives are: big, cold, blue, and silly. 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 that tells "how," "when," "where," or "how
    much". Some adverbs are: easily, warmly, quickly, mainly, freely, often, and
    unfortunately.
    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. The words above, near, at, by, after, with and from are
    prepositions.
    conjunction - A conjunction is a word that joins other words, phrases, clauses
    or sentences. Some conjunctions are: and, as, because, but, or, since, so, until,
    and while.
    interjection - An interjection is a word that expresses emotion. An interjection
    often starts a sentence but it can be contained within a sentence or can stand
    alone. Some interjections are oh, wow, ugh, hurray, eh, and ah.
