The Eight Fabulous Parts of Speech!

Yes, now we're getting into the icky grammar stuff...I know, no one wants to do it, but we must. These should be memorized, along with their uses.
Noun- Name of a person, place, thing, idea
Pronoun- Takes the place of a noun
Verb- Shows action or being
Adjective- Modifies a noun or pronoun; answers one or more of the following questions:

1. Which
2. What kind
3. What colour
4. How many
5. How much

Adverb- Modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb; answers one or more of the following questions:

1. How
2. When
3. Where
4. How much
5. To what extent/degree

Preposition- The long definition is, "a word that shows the relationship of one noun to another," i.e. the house is on the hill. The simple one is, "anything a faerie can do to a cloud," "anything a mouse can do to a house."

Conjunction- Joins words, phrases, clauses, and/or sentences

Interjection- Shows strong emotion; grammatically loosely related to the sentence

So these are the fabulous eight parts of speech in English, Latin, and almost all other languages.

By the way, I'm sorry it took so long for this lesson to get posted. I will try to keep a more regular schedule, but that is not easy while still a freshman in High School. If a week goes by without a post, PLEASE email me and remind me to post.

Thanks!

Valete, omnes, (Goodbye, everyone,)
