It tests what you learned on the Adverbs pages. Adverbs Grammar Quizzes Grammar Games Historically, a word entered the English language, or was borrowed, primarily as one form—a noun, a verb or an adjective. In time, additional forms were added to the original word so that it could function in other ways. The table below includes words and their approximate entry dates as well as additional word forms and their appearance dates. There is no formal or exact way of knowing which suffix to add when changing a word from one form to another. The methods of adding suffix forms vary. Some patterns exist, depending on whether the origin of the word is Middle English, Latin, French, Greek, German, etc. Even native speakers require a dictionary when trying to select a particular meaning. Compare uninterested, disinterested and not interested. A word may not have all four word forms. For example, the noun fun is widely used along with its two adjective forms fun (1675-85) and funny (1750-60). But usage of fun as a verb is rare and as an adverb is non-existent. A word may have two similar forms that co-exist. For example, a word may enter English or be borrowed more than once. The noun chief (leader) entered into usage in Middle English 1240-1300, and then re-entered as the noun chef (head cook) from French in 1835-45. A word may be newly coined (made up) and not yet have other forms. For example, the word selfie is widely used as a noun, but no verb, adjective or adverb forms exist. The verb twerk can be used as a verb, but can one say a twerk (noun), twerky (adjective) or twerkily (adverb)? Word origins and approximate dates are included on Dictionary.com for most word entries.

Page 2 The 8 parts of speech in English are: Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, Verbs, Prepositions, Pronouns, Conjunctions, and Interjections. A part of speech is a category of words that have similar grammatical functions or properties. In other words, they play similar roles in a sentence. For instance, a verb shows the action of a subject or the subject's state of being. 8 Parts of Speech We'll now look in more detail at the function of each of these parts of speech. Understanding the 8 Parts of Speech Nouns Nouns are words used to talk about people, places, things, or ideas/concepts. Here are some examples:Person: The PresidentPlace: LondonThing: TableIdea/concept: Neo-liberalismSo it may be naming something we can touch (e.g. table; book; car) or something we cannot touch (e.g. Neo-liberalism; happiness; wish).There are both common nouns, used for classes of people, places, things, or ideas/concepts, and proper nouns, which is their given name, always with a capital letter. Common Nouns mancountryshoppolitical partystreet Proper Nouns JohnMumbaiTescosDemocratsChester Avenue Adjectives Another of the 8 parts of speech are adjectives. They describe nouns or pronouns. They can come before or after the noun/pronoun they describe: Absolute Adjectives The large shopping complexThe excited childShe is happyIt was a shocking filmHer dress was lovelyHe's a good-looking man These are absolute adjectives, but they can also be comparative (comparing two or more things) or superlative (showing degree or quality): Comparative Adjectives She's fitter than the othersTheir house is biggerI ran faster than youCats are more agile than dogsSue's more tired than Tim Superlative Adjectives She's the fittestTheir house is the biggestI ran the fastestCats are the most agileSue's the most tired Adverbs Adverbs modify verbs, other adverbs, and adjectives. There are adverbs of manner, time, place and degree. Here are examples of each being modified in relation to verbs, adverbs, and adjectives (the word being modified is underlined): Adverbs Modifying Verbs He runs fastIan quickly left the roomShe spoke slowly Adverbs Modifying Other Adverbs He runs exceptionally fastIan very quickly left the roomShe spoke extremely slowly Adverbs Modifying Adjectives She's really excitedHe's happily marriedThe elegantly designed dress is mine Verbs Verbs form part of the predicate of a sentence. In relation to the subject, they are used to express a physical action (e.g. walk; speak; show) or a mental action (e.g. think; feel; want). They can also express a state of being, mainly with the verb 'to be' but also some others.Here are some examples: Physical Action He ran homeThey chose the blue oneShe spoke slowly Mental Activity I am thinking about itIan guessed the answerShe believes in ghosts State of Being She is a police womanI am tiredThey seem worried These though are main verbs. They have many other uses in a sentence so you should read about all the types of verbs further. Prepositions Another of the 8 parts of speech are prepositions. These show the relationship between two words or phrases in a sentence. They precede a noun or pronoun.Commons examples of prepositions are above, up, upon, at, before, behind, since, to, through, under, until, with, within, about, against, along, around, beside, between, down, during, below, by, except, for, from, in, into, like, near, of, off, on, toward.In these example sentences with prepositions, the two words whose relationship is being expressed are underlined and the prepositions are in bold:The book is on the tableHe is the leader of the conservative partyThe boy picked up the toy under the sofaThis is a present for your mother Pronouns Pronouns replace nouns and they prevent us from repeating the noun in a sentence. These are the types of pronouns with some examples:Personal e.g. I; you; they; shePossessive e.g. mine; yours; his; theirsRelative e.g. who; which; that; whomDemonstrative e.g. this; these; thoseReciprocal e.g. one another; each otherEmphatic / Reflexive e.g. myself; herself; itself; ourselvesInterrogative e.g. what; which; whom; whoseHere are some examples of these words used in sentences:Martha decided she would leaveWhy don't you use his car instead of mineMick is a person who learns quicklyShall we buy some of these?They began to argue with each otherJenny is pleased with herselfWhat time is he coming? Conjunctions Conjunctions are the of the 8 parts of speech responsible for joining together words, phrases, or clauses. There are three types:Coordinating: and; or; but; so; yet; for; norCorrelative: neither/nor; either/or; not only/but alsoSubordinating: e.g. although; because; while; which; where; until Used to connect like for like words (e.g. noun+noun):I like apples and oranges (2 nouns)His speech was slow but effective (2 adjectives)Shall I say it loudly or quietly? (2 adverbs)Or simple sentences (independent clauses):I find the music annoying but she finds It pleasantShe came to the lecture late so she missed everything importantShe took her umbrella for it was raining hard Used to join alternative or equal elements:He felt neither happy nor sad about itSue had to decide to either quit or carry onI went not only to Australia but also to New Zealand Used to join subordinate clauses to main clauses:The government won't vote on the bill until both parties agreeI'm still not tired although it is lateI'll eat the dish which you don't like Interjections Interjections are words used to express an emotion or a sentiment such as surprise, joy, disgust, fear, excitement, pain, or enthusiasm.They usually appear at the start of a sentence and are not connected to it grammatically. Here are some examples of interjections in sentences:Wow, that's an amazing score!Oh, I didn't know you failed the examWell, we better not leave too lateOw, that really hurt!Ah, I understand nowOops, I've forgotten to bring the sandwiches Are there only 8 Parts of Speech? Sometimes rather than 8 parts of speech, you may see 9 or 10 listed. This is because some people treat articles and determiners as separate categories. However, when there are only 8 parts of speech considered (as above), this is because as these two types of word modify nouns, they are classified under adjectives. Now practice what you have learned in our identifying parts of speech quiz Sentence clauses are the building blocks of writing and you need to understand these for your academic writing. Phrases and clauses are the key building blocks of sentences. A clause contains a subject and a verb and can express a complete thought. A phrase does not contain a subject or verb. The main parts of a sentence are subjects, verbs, objects, predicates, and subject complements. All of these have a specific purpose within the structure of a sentence.
