PARTS OF SPEECH!

In the English language, words can be considered as the smallest elements that have distinctive meanings. Based on their use and functions, words are categorized into several types. Every single word we use belongs to one of ninet word groups or parts of speech. We use thousands of words, and they can all be separated into eight groups!

We can categorize them into 9 basic types called "word classes". 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.
