MATERI : PARTS OF SPEECH
1. Noun : Person, Place or Thing
You may be wondering which words are nouns? A noun is defined as a person, place, thing
or idea. Proper nouns, which are specific nouns that a person knows (such as the name of
a restaurant), always begin with a capital letter. Common nouns, which are general words,
such as "cars," are not capitalized.
Examples :
ü I buy a book.
ü She is beautiful girl.
ü They have much money today.
2. Pronoun : In Place of a Noun
A pronoun is a word that can be used in place of a noun, typically after the noun itself has
already been stated. The pronouns are "I, You, He, She, It, We, They." An example of this
in speech is, "James likes to eat pizza, but he prefers pepperoni." In this case, "he" is the
pronoun because it is being used in place of the noun which is "James."
Examples :
ü I love her.
ü Dea send me a parcel.
ü This is our class.
ü He kicked the ball.
3. Verb : An Action Word
A verb is one of the 10 parts of speech that can be confusing for language learners
because it needs to be conjugated based on the tense and the pronoun. A verb is an action
word or "doing" word that signifies movement in some way. Some examples of verbs
are "run," "jump," "eat," "kiss," "study" etc.
Examples :
ü They are studying english.
ü He can do this job.
ü Dika speaks english well.
4. Adjective : Describes a Noun
An adjective is a word that's used to describe a specific noun and to provide more detail to
the listener. It's one of the essential parts of grammar, otherwise language would be dull
and boring and it would be difficult to identify things. For instance, instead of saying "The
car," the speaker can say, "The red car." In this case, "red" is the adjective, because it tells
the listener what the car looks like.
Examples :
ü I was so busy last night.
ü I love smart girl.
ü He is angry with me.
5. Article : Type of Adjective*
An article is another type of adjective that may not be considered a part of speech by some
but can be sometimes be counted towards the 10 parts of speech, at least in English. This
is likely because not all languages have articles. An article is either the word "a" "an" or
"the" and is used to give more information about a commonnoun. Is that red car a car you
recognize (your mom's car), or is it a random red car driving on the highway? If so, you can
either say "The red car" if you recognize it or "A red car" if you don't recognize it. "An" is
used before a noun that begins with a vowel sound, like "octopus" or "hour."
Examples :
• There was a girl in front of the book store. .
• He has a son and a daughter..
• “I need a chair.“.
• “I want the red apple.
2. 6. Determiner/Quantifier States How Many*
A determiner or quantifier is another one of the 10 parts of speech that's not always
counted because it can also be considered an adjective. Additionally, articles can
sometimes be considered determiners as well, which is why both articles and determiners
are usually left out of the eight parts of speech. A determiner or quantifier is used to state
how many or how much of a noun there is. For instance, in the sentence "There are many
children at the playground" the word "many" is the determiner.
Examples :
• There are ten students in the classroom.
• He is my second brother
• Tell me what you want
• She forgot whose bag on the table.
7. Adverb : Describes a Verb
An adverb is yet another type of adjective that's used to describe a verb, but it can also
describe an adjective or another adverb. Sometimes, an adverb ends in "ly" but not always.
An adverb can also be words like "very" and "too." If you're unsure as to whether or not a
word is considered an adverb, check to see if it answers the question "How?" For example,
in the sentence, "Madison frantically did her homework" ask yourself, "How did Madison do
her homework?" Frantically.
Examples :
• They often wear flat shoes.
• The room was good enough for me.
• I completely agree with you.
• She speaks really fast.
8. Conjunction : Used to Connect Sentences
A conjunction is a word like "if" "but" or "and" which is used to connect sentences or
clauses together. For example, if you have two sentences like "I am hungry" and "I am
angry," you can join these together with the conjunction "and." Now, the sentence is, "I am
hungry and angry."
Examples :
• Budi play music well, but he can’t sing.
• I will pick you up after I finish my job.
• Nobody knows where she lives now.
9. Preposition : Used to State Location
A preposition is one of the most exciting parts of grammar for children to learn because
they can have a lot of fun with it. Because a preposition is used to describe the location of
something in relation to something else, such as "under" "beside" or "next to" children can
use their bodies or objects to represent prepositions or prepositional phrases.xamples :
Examples :
• She comes from America.
• My house is in front of Budi’s house.
• Put it on the table, please!
10. Interjection : Used to Express Emotion
An interjection is used to express emotion in a sentence. It could be a word
like "Woah!" or "Oops!" Instead of saying something like, "The boy was surprised," you
could use an interjection to instead say_"'Wow!' Said the boy in surprise."
Examples :
• Oh my god ! Are you okay?
• Aww ! It hurts!
• Sorry ! I didn’t hear you.
