This document provides an overview of the 8 parts of speech in English: verb, noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. It defines each part of speech and provides examples. Verbs are necessary for sentences and show action or state of being. Nouns name people, places, things, ideas. Pronouns take the place of nouns. Adjectives describe nouns. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Prepositions indicate spatial and temporal relationships between nouns. Conjunctions join words and sentences. Interjections convey emotion. The document concludes with sample sentences identifying each part of speech.
