9 parts of speech

1.Noun

Nouns are a person, place, thing, or idea. They can take on a myriad of roles
in a sentence, from the subject of it all to the object of an action. They are
capitalized when they’re the official name of something or someone, and
they’re called proper nouns in these cases. Examples: pirate, Caribbean,
ship, freedom, Captain Jack Sparrow.

2.Pronoun

Pronouns stand in for nouns in a sentence. They are more generic versions of
nouns that refer only to people. Examples: I, you, he, she, it, ours, them,
who, which, anybody, ourselves.

3. Adjective
Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns. They specify which one, how
much, what kind, and more. Adjectives allow readers and listeners to
use their senses to imagine something more clearly. Examples: hot,
lazy, funny, unique, bright, beautiful, poor, smooth.
4. Adverb

Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and even other adverbs. They specify
when, where, how, and why something happened and to what extent or how
often. Many adjectives can be turned into adjectives by adding the suffix -ly.
Examples: softly, quickly, lazily, often, only, hopefully, sometimes.

5. Preposition

Prepositions show spatial, temporal, and role relations between a noun or


pronoun and the other words in a sentence. They come at the start of a
prepositional phrase, which contains a preposition and its object. Examples:
up, over, against, by, for, into, close to, out of, apart from.

6. Conjunction

Conjunctions join words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence. There are


coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. Examples: and,
but, or, so, yet.

7. Interjection

Interjections are expressions that can stand on their own or be contained


within sentences. These words and phrases often carry strong emotions and
convey reactions. Examples: ah, whoops, ouch, yabba dabba do!
8. Articles and Determiners

Articles and determiners function like adjectives by modifying nouns, but


they are different than adjectives in that they are necessary for a sentence
to have proper syntax. Articles and determiners specify and identify nouns,
and there are indefinite and definite articles. Examples of articles: a, an, the;
examples of determiners: these, that, those, enough, much, few, which,
what.

9. Verb

Verbs are action words that tell what happens in a sentence. They can also
show a sentence subject’s state of being (is, was). Verbs change form based
on tense (present, past) and count distinction (singular or plural). Examples:
sing, dance, believes, seemed, finish, eat, drink, be, became.
10 Examples of Idiomatic Expression, definition of the topic and it’s
examples.
10 Example of Filipinism, definition of the topic and it’s examples.

1) Open the light/TV/computer.


This transliteration comes from the Filipino sentence 'Buksan mo yung
ilaw/TV/kompyuter.' which when translated to English is the said
filipinism. Buksan means open; thus, the translation 'open'. You can't really
open the light, TV or the computer, so the correct English phrase for this
would be:
Turn on/switch on the light/TV/computer.

2) Close the light/TV/computer.

The explanation for this is almost the same for the first one. Since buksan is open, naturally,
the opposite is close. The correct form is:

Turn off/switch off the light/TV/computer.

3) Fill up the form.

The correct form would be:

Fill out the form.

4) No parking on both sides.

In reality, you can't really expect one car to be able to park on two sides, so the correct form
is:

No parking on either side.

5) I slept late.

This transliteration came from 'Late ako natulog.' wherein ako is I, and natulog is sleep.
When translated to English, it's 'I slept late', but 'I slept late' actually means 'I slept until
late' or 'I woke up late'. What 'Late ako natulog' actually means is the person went to sleep
late, so the correct form would be:

I fell asleep late, or I went to bed late.

6) I'm not coming to the party.

Coming is used when someone from afar is coming to where you are, while going is used
when you are going to a far place. Since in this case, you're invited to a party,
you're going to the party, so the correct form is:

I'm not going to the party.

7) Hey! Time first, I need to drink.

This is usually used when playing games, especially those involving running. 'Time' here is
supposed to be 'time out', so the correct form is:

Hey! Time out first, I need to drink. (Or maybe you can omit 'first', but I'm not so
sure.)
8) It will be traffic.

Traffic is a noun, so you can't use it as an adjective. It's like saying 'It will be beauty.' or 'It
will be easiness.'. It's supposed to be:

Traffic is bad.

9) This is the long cut, not the shortcut.

Since it's already long, you can't put 'cut' after it. That would be...weird. It's like it's long,
then you cut it or something, so it's supposed to be:

This is the long way, not the shortcut.

10) He salvaged the man.

In some tabloids, 'salvaged' is misused in a way that it's used to say 'killed'.

Ex.: Sinalvage yung tao. (Sinalvage - Salvaged; yung - the; tao - person)

What they mean: The person was killed.

What it really means: The person was saved.

I have no idea how this came to be, but yeah... It's wrong.

There is no correct form as this is just a misuse of the word.
