Here’s the first piece of information. There are nine basic parts of speech (word classes) in the English language. ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS, ARTICLES, CONJUNTIONS, INTERJECTIONS, NOUNS, PREPOSITIONS, PRONOUNS, VERBS. There are lots of variations though. To help you remember them, think of them as the ingredients of a stir fry. Take the first letter of each of the terms (tools) above and we have A, A, A, C, I, N, P, P, V. Jumble them up and you can come up with the following mnemonic (memory aid). How to make a parts of speech stir fry.
