A part of speech explains how a word is used. In traditional English grammar, there are ten parts of speech.

• Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. Pronouns act just like nouns.

• Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It can tell what kind or how many.

• Verb: A verb is a word that shows action. A present tense verb shows action that is happening now. A past tense verb shows action that has already happened. A future tense verb shows action that will happen.

• Adverb: An adverb is a word that describes a verb. It can tell how or when.

• Conjunction: A conjunction is a word that connects words in a sentence.

• Preposition: A preposition is a word that links and relates a noun or pronoun to another word in a sentence.

• Interjection: An interjection is a word that expresses emotion. It is usually an exclamation that is followed by an exclamation point (!). Sometimes, an interjection is followed by a comma (,).
