Nouns
What is a Noun?

person, animal, place, thing, and
abstract idea. Nouns are usually the
first words which small children learn.

Verbs
What is a Verb?
The verb is perhaps the most
important part of the sentence. A
verb or 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.
Verbs
Verb is the action that the subject
performs.
Verb is the predicate.
Verb  tenses and aspects
Adjectives
What Is An Adjective?
An adjective modifies a noun or a
pronoun by describing, identifying, or
quantifying words. An adjective
usually precedes the noun or the
pronoun which it modifies.
Interjections
What is an Interjection?
An interjection is a word added to a
sentence to convey emotion. It is not
grammatically related to any other
part of the sentence.
