Parts of Speech:

     Words are divided into different groups or classes according to their grammatical properties. There are eight types of parts of speech which is mentioned below.

          1.     Noun

2.     Pronoun

3.     Verb

4.     Adverb

5.     Adjective

6.     Preposition

7.     Conjunction

8.     Interjection

Noun:

                The part of speech that is used to the name anything i.e. places, persons, animals, things or events.

 Examples:

a.      Ali Raza is a teacher.

 

b.      Lahore is a big city.

 

c.      This chair is black.

               In above sentences, Ali Raza, Lahore and chair are Noun. in the same way you can identify noun in any sentence.

 Pronoun:

                The part of speech that is used in the place of a Noun is called pronoun.

 Examples:

 

a.      Ahmad is a young boy and he is very clever.

 

b.      Sara and her sister was running.

 

c.      This is bench and its color is blue.

 In above sentences Pronoun  is in bold and underlined which are  He, her and its. there are many other pronouns we can use instead of or in place of noun. 

 Verb:

                Verbs have traditionally been defined as words that show action or state of being. 

        Verb is a most important part of speech as without a verb sentence can not be complete.

 Examples:

 

a.      I was traveling to Lahore. 

 

b.      He was delivering lecture.

 

c.      Arif was eating his lunch.

                             

                in the above examples you can see that Verbs are in Bold and Underlined. All those words are showing the actions like, Travelling, Delivering and Eating.

Adverb:

                An adverb is a word that describes a verb or add something to the meaning of verb. Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.

 Examples:

 

a.      He fights bravely. 

 

b.      He dives very deep.

 

c.      He done it perfectly.

                             

                in the above examples you can see that adverbs are in Bold and Underlined. All those words are adding in the meaning of verbs before them and enhancing their meaning. As in 1st sentence fight is a verb and has its own meaning but the adverb bravely enhance the meaning of it . in the same way in other sentences Very Deep and perfectly are working in the same way.

Adjective:

                An adjective is a word that describes a noun or add something to the meaning of noun. in other words adjective is a word that describe the quality of noun or pronoun.

 Examples:

 

a.      He is very clever.

 

b.      The dog is beautiful.

 

c.      Chair is brown.

in these examples clever, beautiful and brown are telling the qualities of their nouns He, Dog and Chair respectively. 

Preposition:

                A preposition is a word that indicates the relationship between a noun and the other words of a sentence. They explain relationships of sequence, space, and logic between the object of the sentence and the rest of the sentence. They help us understand order, time connections, and positions.

 Examples: 

                 a. I am going to Canada.

                b. Alex threw a stone into the pond.

                c. The present is inside the box.

Prepositions are highlighted by making them bold and underline them. 

Conjunction:

                Conjunction is the part of speech that connects the phrases , clauses and sentences. 

 Examples: 

                 a. I sent him a letter but  he did not respond.

                b. I saw him  while  I was driving my car.

                c. I went to market  where   I saw a joker.

In all the above examples mentioned above there are two sentences in each but are connected with a single word which is bold and underlined these connecting words are conjunctions. 

Interjection:

                Interjections are the which are used to express the strong feelings like Happiness, sorrow, excitement, enthusiasm and many other.

 Examples: 

                 a. Hurrah! we won the match.

                b. Alas! we lost the match.

                c. Wow! That’s an amazing scene.

            Interjections are unique and have some interesting features:

                do not have to have a relation to the other parts of the sentence.

                Interjections don’t have a grammatical function in the sentence construction.

                They usually cannot be modified or inflected.

                They are highly context-sensitive.
