PARTS OF SPEECH Unit 2.1 What are Parts of Speech? Every sentence that you speak or write in English includes words that fall into different kinds or classes called parts of speech. These word classes are the building blocks of grammar. Each category plays a different role in communicating meaning in English language. Word types can be divided into eight parts of speech: Noun Adjective Pronoun Adverb Verb Preposition Conjunction Interjection NOUN A noun is commonly defined as a word that refers to a person, place, thing, or an idea. Examples Shah Jahan was a wise king. Sarah is making pasta. He lives in Islamabad. Types of Noun Common Noun Proper Noun Abstract Noun Concrete Noun Countable Noun Uncountable Noun NOUN TYPES OF NOUNS Common Noun ______ refers to the general name of the things. Example: Mama has given me a new bag for school. Proper Noun ______ refers to a specific person, place, idea or thing. It is always written with a capital letter. Example: She was born in Lahore. TYPES OF NOUNS Concrete Noun ______ refers to something that can be experienced through one of the five senses. Example: I enjoy watching the sunset every evening from the balcony. Abstract Noun ______ refers to things that are intangible. It is usually the name of a quality, action or state. Example: She has put her faith and trust in me. TYPES OF NOUNS A Countable Noun ______ describes things that can be counted. It exists in both singular and plural forms. Example: The little girl was playing near the mango trees. An Uncountable Noun ______ describes things that cannot be counted. We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns. Example: Put only one tablespoon of sugar in my tea. References: The 9 Parts of Speech: Definitions and Examples. (2020).
