THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS The Eight Parts of Speech Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech. These are the words that you use to make a sentence. Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. For example … Definition … a chair the effect happiness work have be seems sexy blue names a person, place, thing or concept An adverb badly, … very too adds information about an action or a situation, and modifies the adjective A preposition to under on Ouch! a small word that describes direction A conjunction and because links words, phrases and sentences A pronoun she its (no apostrophe!) his takes the place of a noun A noun A verb An adjective An interjection describes what someone or something does; states and feelings describes people or things adds emphasis and emotion Remember, you can tell a word by the company it keeps.
