PARTS OF SPEECH

-BY ANKAM BHAGAVAN YADAV

SUBMITTED TO : PRAKASH SIR

HOD: ABDUL BASITH SIR


ABSTRACT:
• Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb,
the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction,
and the interjection.
PREFACE:
• The power point presentation is an outcome of English lab of MLRITM college.
The objective of this program is to make students familiarize with all the use of
Parts of Speech.
INDEX:
• VERB
• NOUN
• PRONOUN
• ADJECTIVE
• ADVERB
• PREPOSITION
• CONJUNCTION
• INTERJECTION
VERB
• A verb expresses action or being.
• jump... is... write... become
• The verb in a sentence expresses action or being. There is a main verb and
sometimes one or more helping verbs. ("She can sing." Sing is the main
verb; can is the helping verb.) A verb must agree with its subject in number (both
are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she
quickly disappeared.  Oh my!
NOUN
• A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea.
• man... Butte College... house... happiness
• A noun is a word for a person, place, thing, or idea. Nouns are often used with an
article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter;
common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns
show possession by adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence;
for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject
complement, or object of a preposition.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!
PRONOUN:
• A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun.
• She... we... they... it
• A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun,
which is called its antecedent. In the sentence above, the antecedent for the pronoun she is the
girl. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things;
possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun
or pronoun; relative pronouns introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns
identify, point to, or refer to nouns.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!
ADJECTIVE
• An adjective modifies or describes a noun or pronoun.
• pretty... old... blue... smart
• An adjective is a word used to modify or describe a noun or a pronoun. It
usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many. (Articles [a,
an, the] are usually classified as adjectives.)
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she
quickly disappeared. Oh my!
ADVERB
• An adverb modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another
adverb.
• gently... extremely... carefully... well
• An adverb describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, but
never a noun. It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why,
under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher,
and then she quickly disappeared. Oh my!
PREPOSITION
• A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying
another word in the sentence.
• by... with.... about... until
• (by the tree, with our friends, about the book, until tomorrow)
• A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in
the sentence. Therefore a preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The prepositional
phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb. The following list includes the most
common prepositions:
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly disappeared.
Oh my!
CONJUNCTION
• A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.
• and... but... or... while... because
• A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses, and indicates the relationship between
the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements:
and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not
equal: because, although, while, since, etc. There are other types of conjunctions as
well.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she quickly
disappeared. Oh my!
INTERJECTION
• An interjection is a word used to express emotion.
• Oh!... Wow!... Oops!
• An interjection is a word used to express emotion. It is often followed by an
exclamation point.
• The young girl brought me a very long letter from the teacher, and then she
quickly disappeared. Oh my!
