Parts of speech

 

It plays very important role in our speech. Not only the funny part the wrong sentence that you are writing, but the audience couldn’t understand your speech. Learning grammar is the only way you can avoid misunderstanding your speech. Grammar consists of many components, but parts of speech are the most important part that we have chosen to present to day.

Parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunction, and interjection. In my essay(in our presentation) we will introduce all of these things. First, nouns are places, persons and things. Nouns are two different parts, proper nouns and common nouns. A proper noun is a specific name of a person, place or thing. The first letter of the proper noun is always capitalized. Some examples include, Mrs. Rogers, Anderson Middle School, Redding, and so on. The common noun always describes any person, place or thing, such as, teacher, school, and city. Second, pronouns are words that replace the nouns, such as, I, you, he, she, it, we, who, that, which, and everyone. Next, a verb expresses an occurrence or state of being, such as, go, be, run, and drive.

 Adjectives describe the nouns and give a specific size, color, or shape like soggy, short, tall, thin, wet, dry, red, round etc. On the other hand, adverbs modify the verbs, and usually end with LY such as quickly, tiredly, sickly, and loudly. Similar to what we mentioned above, prepositions and conjunctions are the parts of speech. Prepositions show how nouns or pronouns are related to other words in the sentence, and usually show the position of the noun. Some examples are over, under, against, behind, of, though, etc. Furthermore, here is an example sentence, he is crying behind the door. In addition to what we detailed above, conjunctions are linking words or phrases. There are three main parts: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions connect the two equal parts of a sentence. Some of them are and, or, but, and so. Example in sentence: I have seen Joe and Jacob walking in the rain. Also, subordinating conjunctions connect two parts which are not equal. Examples for those conjunctions like: after, before, unless, although, if, and so on. Examples in a sentence: Xiannping wrote her presentation just after me. Furthermore, in parts of speech, correlative conjunctions are two conjunctions that work together in the same sentence. Such as both…and, either…or, neither…nor, and not only …. but also. Here are some examples in sentences: both my friends and I made a presentation.

In conclusion, there are many parts of speech, but the most important are: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunction, and interjection. Everything has to follow rules in order to understand each other in reading, writing, and speaking. Sometimes that could reach to understand the wrong idea. A small mistake could give you an F in your courses or losing you job.
