Definition
All words are divided into grammar groups. The grammar groups are called parts of speech.
It is important to be able to recognize and identify the different types of
words in English, so that you can understand grammar explanations and use
the right word form in the right place.
The groups are:
1. Noun A noun is a naming word. It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or action. Examples: cowboy, theatre, box, thought, tree, kindness, arrival
2. Verb A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something). Examples: walk, talk, think, believe, live, like, want
3. Adjective An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun. Examples: big, yellow, thin, amazing, beautiful, quick, important
4. Adverb An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened. Examples: slowly, intelligently, well, yesterday, tomorrow, here, everywhere
5. Pronoun A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun.
Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
6. Conjunction A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together. Examples: but, so, and, because, or
7. Preposition A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence.

Examples: on, in, by, with, under, through, at
8. Interjection An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks. Examples: Ouch!, Hello!, Hurray!, Oh no!, Ha!
9. Article An article is used to introduce a noun. Examples: the, a, an
PRONOUNS
I, YOU, HE, SHE IT, YOU THEY, WE,
We use subject personal pronouns before a verb instead of name of
a person or a noun.
They replace the names. For instance: Eduardo, Ivan and Juan Manuel are doctors. They are doctors.
1. We always write I with a capital letter. Example
He’s Jack and I’m Steve.
2. We use he for a man or boy. Example
Tony he
3. We use she for a woman or girl. Example
Sheila she
4. We use it for a thing, animal or object. Example
A table it
5. We also use it for an animal whose sex we do not know. Example
A tiger it A bird it
6. If the animal is our pet or we know its sex we can use he or she.
Example This is my dog Rex. He is one year old.
7. We use they in the plural for people, animals or things. Example
Tom and Ann = They, Three cats=they Two tables=they
