Parts of Speech
Words are divided into different kinds or classes, called Parts of Speech,
according to their use; that is, according to the work they do in a sentence. The
parts of speech are eight in number:
1. Noun.
2. Adjective.
3. Pronoun.
4. Verb.
5. Adverb.
6. Preposition.
7. Conjunction.
8. Interjection.
He is a brave boy.
There are twenty boys in this class.
As words are divided into different classes according to the work they do in
sentences, it is clear that we cannot say to which part of speech a word belongs
unless we see it used in a sentence.
