nouns, verbs, pro-nouns, adjectives, adverbs
Answers
1. Nouns are naming words for people, things, conditions etc - John, man, love, for example.
2. Verbs are doing words, telling about action - walk, bark, swim, for example.
3. Pronouns basically stand for nouns already mentioned - John is English; he is a doctor, for example.
4. Adjectives describe/qualify nouns - she is a pretty girl, for example.
5. Adverbs 'describe'/qualify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs - He walks quickly, for example.
6. Prepositions tell something about relative position in time/space - before 6 o'clock; over the moon, for example.
7. Interjections/Exclamations are words/sounds just "thrown into" sentences - Sh! Aha! for example.
8. Conjunctions join words and phrases - Janet and John; He wanted to meet you but he couldn't, for example.
All of the above could be enormously expanded in a multitude of ways and there will almost certainly be someone along shortly to tear it all to pieces! Nevertheless, it might just help you to grasp the basics. I hope so!
