This document provides definitions and examples of different parts of speech in English including nouns, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, interjections, prefixes, and suffixes. It defines nouns as words that can be subjects or objects and can have adjectives. Verbs express actions, events, or states of being. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Conjunctions connect parts of sentences. Interjections express emotions. Prefixes are added to the beginning of words to modify meaning and suffixes are added to the end.

2. Nouns:
In linguistics, a noun is a member of a large, open lexical
category whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of
a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.[1]
Lexical categories are defined in terms of the ways in which their
members combine with other kinds of expressions. The syntactic rules
for nouns differ from language to language. In English, nouns are those
words which can occur with articles and attributive adjectives and can
function as the head of a noun phrase.
A noun is a part of speech typically denoting a person, place, thing,
animal, or idea.

4. Verb:
The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence.
A verbor compound verb asserts something about the subject of the
sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or
compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.
In each of the following sentences, the verb or compound verb
ishighlighted:
Dracula bites his victims on the neck.
The verb "bites" describes the action Dracula takes.
In early October, Giselle will plant twenty tulip bulbs.
Here the compound verb "will plant" describes an action that will take
place in the future.
My first teacher was Miss Crawford, but I remember the janitor Mr.
Weatherbee more vividly.
5. Adverb:
An adverb is a word type invariable core acting as adverbial
phrase, complementing a verb, an adjective or another
adverb.
The syntactic functions of adverbs are, apart from the core
of the adverbial phrase, the circumstantial complement of
the verb, the quantifier, adjective or complement degree
('very good', 'fresh') and another adverb quantifier ("pretty
far"). Some adverbs can function as a predicate to a subject
and directed with a copula verb ("is divinely").
Adverbio
slowly (slóuli) - lentamente
easily (íisili) - fácilmente
carefully (kérfuli) - cuidadosamente
simply (símpli) - simplemente
happily (jápili) - felizmente
naturally (náchurali) - naturalmente
6. Conjuctions:
Some words are satisfied spending an evening at home, alone, eating ice-
cream right out of the box, watching Seinfeld re-runs on TV, or reading a
good book. Others aren't happy unless they're out on the town, mixing it up
with other words; they're joiners and they just can't help themselves. A
conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a
sentence.
7. Interjection:
In grammar, an interjection or exclamation is a word used to express
an emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker (although most
interjections have cleardefinitions). Filled pauses such as uh, er, um are also
considered interjections. Interjections are often placed at the beginning of a
sentence.
An interjection is sometimes expressed as a single word or non-
sentence phrase, followed by a punctuation mark. The isolated usage of an
interjection does not represent a complete sentence in conventional English
writing. Thus, in formal writing, the interjection will be incorporated into a
larger sentence clause.
9. Prefixes
A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word to modify or change its
meaning. This is a list of the most common prefixes in English, together
with their basic meaning and some examples. You can find more detail
or precision for each prefix in any good dictionary. The origins of words
are extremely complicated. You should use this list as a guide only, to
help you understand possible meanings. But be very careful, because
often what appears to be a prefix is not a prefix at all. Note also that this
list does not include elements like "auto-" or " bio-", because these are
"combining forms", not prefixes. Prefix Meaning Examples
10. Sufixes:
In linguistics, a suffix (also sometimes called a postfix or ending) is
an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are
case endings, which indicate the grammatical caseof nouns or
adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs.
Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, a suffix is called
an affirmative, as they can alter the form of the words to which they are
fixed. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes
and endings
