Unit I: Concepts and definitions I. Grammar Parts of the Speech:

Instructions: Write the following table on your notebook as you will use this information to carry out the exercises that follow.
 * Words are classified as belonging to any of eight parts of speech: verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
 * Each part of speech tells not what the word is, but how the word is used in a particular sentence or context.
 * In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The word “well” is a perfect example: I don’t feel well today (adverb) / Well! isn’t that something? (interjection) / The well is dry (noun) / His next well visit is with Dr. Smith (adjective).
