The eight parts of speech in English are:
- Nouns – Words that name a person, place, thing, or idea (e.g., teacher, city, happiness)
- Pronouns – Words that replace nouns to avoid repetition (e.g., he, she, it)
- Verbs – Words that express actions or states of being (e.g., run, is)
- Adjectives – Words that describe or modify nouns or pronouns (e.g., blue, quick)
- Adverbs – Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often indicating how, when, where, or to what extent (e.g., quickly, very)
- Prepositions – Words that show relationships between nouns/pronouns and other words in a sentence, often indicating direction, place, or time (e.g., in, on, before)
- Conjunctions – Words that connect words, phrases, or clauses (e.g., and, but, because)
- Interjections – Words or phrases that express strong emotion or surprise (e.g., oh!, wow!)
These categories help define the grammatical role of words in sentences and are fundamental to understanding English grammar
