Description

Verb: A verb, verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word , is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action ( bring , read , walk , run , learn ), ), or a state of being ( be , exist , stand ). ).

Noun: In linguistics, a noun is a member of a large, open lexical category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition (or put more simply, a noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing or abstract idea).

Adjective: In grammar, an adjective is a 'describing' word; the main syntactic role of which is to qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more information about the object signified.

Adverb: An adverb is a part of speech that modifies verbs or any part of speech other than a noun (modifiers of nouns are primarily adjectives and determiners).

Pronoun: In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun (Lat: pronomen ) is a pro-form that substitutes for a noun (or noun phrase), such as, in English, the words it (substituting for the name of a certain object) and he (substituting for the name of a person). The replaced noun is called the antecedent of the pronoun.

Preposition: The word preposition comes from Latin, a language in which such a word is usually placed before its complement. (Thus it is pre-positioned.) English is another such language. In many languages (e.g. Urdu, Turkish, Hindi and Japanese), the words with this grammatical function come after, not before the complement. Such words are then commonly called postpositions. postpositions.

Conjunction: In grammar, a conjunction is a part of speech that connects two words, sentences, phrases or clauses together.

Interjection: In grammar, an interjection or exclamation is a word used to express an emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker (although most interjections have clear definitions). Filled pauses such as uh , err , um are also considered interjections. Interjections are typically placed a t the beginning of a sentence.
