Parts of Speech

 PARTS OF SPEECH

Traditional grammar attempts to give semantic or notional definitions to the different parts of speech . It describes a noun , for example , as the name of a person , a place or a thing or a verb as a doing word . Though there is some correlation between word classes and meaning , all such definitions fall down .

In fact , whether we realise it or not we classify words very largely by the positional and functional slots they occupy in a sentence . Secondly , we may be guided by form - some word classes have characteristic ending or inflections . There are eight parts of speech :

1. Noun

 2. Pronoun

3. Adjective

 4. Verb

 5. Adverb

 6. Preposition

 7. Conjunction

 8. Interjection
