PARTS OF SPEECH

INTRODUCTION:

In traditional grammar, a part of speech or part-of-speech is a category of words that have similar grammatical properties. In the English language, every word is called a part of speech. The role a word plays in a sentence denotes what part of speech it belongs to. 

WHAT IS A PARTS OF SPEECH?

Parts of speech are among the first grammar topics we learn when we are in school or when we start our English language learning process. Parts of speech can be defined as words that perform different roles in a sentence. Some parts of speech can perform the functions of other parts of speech too.

DEFINITION:

The definition of a part of speech is a class of words based on the word's function, the way it works in a sentence. The parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.

FREQUENCY OF PARTS OF SPEECH:

It's quite important to recognize parts of speech. This helps you to analyze sentences and understand them. It also helps you to construct good sentences. The parts of speech fall into two word classes: 

open and closed. 

OPEN WORD CLASSES:

Open word classes are parts of speech that regularly acquire new words. Language evolves, and usually, evolution happens in these parts of speech: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. 

CLOSED WORD CLASSES:

Closed word classes are the parts of speech that don’t regularly add new words. These parts of speech are more “set in stone” and include pronouns, conjunctions, articles, and prepositions.
