Part of Speech

NOUN
A noun is a word that denotes a person, place, or thing. In a sentence, nouns answer the questions who and what.
Examples:
1. The dog ran after the ball.
2. She possesses integrity.
3. She visited Chicago every year.
4. I stepped in a puddle. 
5. I saw the milk spill. 
             
PRONOUN
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
1. She decided to go to a movie.
2. This is the one I left in the room.
3. Nobody is absent today.
4. I love cooking.
5. They like one another.

Verb
A verb is a word that denotes action, or a state of being, in a sentence.
Examples:
1. Beth rides the bus every day.
2. Paul was an avid reader.
3. John walked in the park.
4. I will run tomorrow.
5. I sing my favorite songs.

Adverb
Just as adjectives modify nouns, adverbs modify, or further describe, verbs. Adverbs may also modify adjectives. (Many, though not all, adverbs end in -ly.)
Examples:
1. He waved wildly to get her attention.
2. The shirt he wore to the party was extremely bright.
3. I will go to the market.
4. Tomorrow is my birthday.
5. I always pray.

Adjective
An adjective is a word that modifies, or describes, a noun or pronoun. Adjectives may precede nouns, or they may appear after a form of the reflexive verb to be (am, are, is, was, etc.).
Examples:
1. We live in the red brick house.
2. Several soldiers died in the war.
3. Our books are new.
4. Kristine is beautiful. 
5. They are happy.
           
Conjunction
A conjunction is a word that joins two independent clauses, or sentences, together.
Examples:
1. Ellen wanted to take a ride, but she doesn’t have money                                                              
2. Richard and John are bestfriends.
3. These lessons are both free and useful.
4. Vanessa not only wants money but also fame.
5. I was so hungry therefore I cook my food.
                                                        
Preposition
Prepositions work in combination with a noun or pronoun to create phrases that modify verbs, nouns/pronouns, or adjectives. Prepositional phrases convey a spatial, temporal, or directional meaning.
Examples:
1. The cat is under the table.
2. The mouse run to the hole.
3. Rose reaches school at 8 o’clock.
4. She will come on Sunday.
5. He ran across the road.

 INTERJECTION
An interjection is a word which expresses sudden feeling or emotion.
Examples :
1. Hello, Good Evening !
2. Hurray .. Let's party !
3. Bravo ! You are so graceful.
4. Oh! That is so nice gift.
5. Robert! What happened to you?
