VERB

 

A verb is the grammatical centre of a sentence, and is one of its most important elements. Each sentence is composed of a predicate as well as a subject. A verb is the main element of the predicate. It is used to describe an event or action as well as a mode of being. Verbs basically describe what the subject is doing within the sentence. They are classified typically as action verbs and linking verbs. While the latter of the two aids in understanding the actions of the subject, the former reflects the person, identity or presence. Verbs alter their form and various endings are added to them. These endings show the verb's relationship to time, known as the verb tense.

 



 

PRONOUN

 

A pronoun is the substitute word used to replace an adjective in the sentence. Properly, the word is employed after a noun is used in the preceding sentence. There are nine kinds of pronouns. They include possessive pronouns that indicate ownership, personal pronouns which refer to an object or person, demonstrative pronouns that indicate the subject or object, reflexive and reflexive pronouns that highlight another pronoun, relative pronouns that create subordinate clauses, and so on.

 

ADJECTIVE

 

An adjective is a modifier to an expression. It refers to the noun or pronoun. An adjective gives more information regarding the subject. It can answer questions like what kind and how many. English adjectives are used to express superlative and comparative. An article is placed between an adjective to indicate the superlative. The noun does not have to be modified or accepted by adjectives.

 

ADVERB

Pronouns linked with pronouns or nouns form word groups, also known as prepositional phrases. Prepositional phrase usually function as an adverb or as an adjective.

 

CONJUNCTION

 

A conjunction is a term that is used to connect the clauses, words or c phrases of the sentence together. It also defines the relation between the components of the sentence. There are four types of conjunctions: Subordinating, Coordinating, Conjunctive, and Correlative. A Coordinating Conjunction connects separate clauses (sentences) or words that have similar meanings. (for the words, and/or, or however, as) Subordinating clauses join the subordinate clause with the remainder of the sentence. They are often referred to as independent clauses. (because instead of, prior to, even though, once,). Conjunctive Adverbs, also known as Transitional Words link the sentences to one another (instead of additionally in addition to, furthermore or additionally). Corelative conjunctions link the coordinating conjunction with a different word.

 

INTERJECTION

 

Interjections are the words added to a sentence to convey emotion. An interjection is not grammatically related to the sentence. It may be used either before or after the main sentence, and it is a stand-alone and typically ends by a scream. Interjections are often employed in informal writing, and can rarely be found in academic writing.
