Parts of Speech
All languages are made up of words, each of which has a specific function , a part to play, in creating the sentences in that language. We call these functions the parts of speech . The eight parts of speech in English are nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. book can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb, depending upon how it is used in relation to other words. Ex. Jon Jones is a reputable book dealer. (In this sentence, book is an adjective because its function is to describe the noun dealer.) Ex. That book has the most beautiful hand-tooled leather cover I have ever seen. (In this case, book is a noun because its function is to name the thing that is the subject of the sentence.) Ex. Did you book my tickets for the trip? (Here, the word book is a verb because its function is to name an action taken in the sentence.) At this point it is probably a good idea to give brief descriptions of what the parts of speech do. We can also group them according to their basic purposes.

    Parts of Speech
    This module is designed to help you if you aren't experienced in describing 'parts of speech' or 'classes of words'. If you're already familiar with these descriptions you don't need to read any further.
    Grammarians use many different ways to describe language, depending on their purposes. The idea that there is a single, basic description of English grammar is a fantasy. There are even differences in the ways grammarians describe parts of speech with categories such as nouns, verbs and adjectives.
    We're going to begin with categories which are presented in the widely-used grammar by Quirk and Greenbaum, A university grammar of English (We'll introduce one minor modification, which makes description easier.) We'll begin with examples, then introduce some informal working definitions. Some definitions will be expanded later as you gain more experience with description. You'll find practical tasks distributed throughout the module.

    Paragraphs.
    There's no hard-and-fast rule for the length of a paragraph: it can be as short as a sentence or as long as it has to be. Just remember that each paragraph should contain only one developed idea. A paragraph often begins with a topic sentence which sets the tone of the paragraph; the rest amplifies, clarifies, or explores the topic sentence. When you change topics, start a new paragraph. Be sure your paragraphs are organized to help your argument along. Each paragraph should build on what came before, and should lay the ground for whatever comes next. Mastering transitions can make a very big difference in your writing. A matter of mechanics and house style : it's customary (at least in America) to indicate new paragraphs in most prose by indenting the first line (three to five spaces), with no skipped lines between paragraphs. Business memos and press releases tend to skip a line and not indent. (As you can see from this guide, most Web browsers use the skip-a-line-and-don't-indent style.) In papers for English classes, don't-skip-but-indent is preferable. [Entry revised 14 July 2000]

    © 2003-5 Steve Campsall grammar: word classes or 'parts of speech' You will have learned some grammar in your earlier school lessons, for sure. Probably you know a little about nouns verbs and adjectives ; you might even recall the word conjunction In the past, the teaching of grammar was based on learning what were rather confusingly called the 'eight parts of speech'. And this does seem a rather logical start to grammar except... ... when you try to apply what you have learned it quickly seems to be of little use because real-life sentences are often such complicated things! One reason is because words are rarely used on their own - they are used, as you have seen already, more often as groups which possess a single meaning . The word-groups are called phrases even a single word acting as a unit is often called a phrase by many linguists . The noun phrases - the subject of their verbs in the next two sentences - are in red: The sparkling gold-coloured bracelet ... is the one I like.
    That horse over there ... kicked me. A second reason is that - as you have seen - the same word can be used in different sentences and belong to a very different word class in each.

    Basic sentence patterns
    Subject + verb . The simplest of sentence patterns is composed of a subject and verb without a direct object or subject complement. It uses an intransitive verb, that is, a verb requiring no direct object: Control rods remain inside the fuel assembly of the reactor.

    ELI Grammar Hotline
    Parts of Speech
    Functions
    Q. (from Jan) I keep getting memos in which 'below' is used as an adjective. Example: "Compare the below figures" rather than "Compare the figures below." I understand that placing 'below' before the noun is incorrect, since that would make it an adjective. The confusing thing is trying to understand how 'below' can be an adverb here (as the dictionary assures me it is). Where is the verb, adjective, or other adverb 'below' is describing or modifying? Wouldn't it make more sense to call it a preposition with an understood object? Compare the figures below (this point). How do I explain this to someone who thinks "the below figures" sounds just fine? A. Well, I agree that this is ungrammatical in Standard English. However, it might be useful to bear in mind that business English, particularly corporate business English is notorious for word usage and sentence structure that violates standard English grammar. In some cases, this is probably a case of a different grapholect (a variation of a language that is primarily written, rather than spoken). In other cases, the "ungrammaticality" is probably due to an attempt to sound "important" or "educated" by using words and structures that are not part of the writer's actual grammar (and, consequently, using them incorrectly). In this case, I suspect that "the below figures" is an example of the latter. Yes, calling it a preposition with an understood object is probably the best option. An equally plausible argument can be made, however, for the status of "below" as a post-noun adjective. There are a small number of adjectives in English that have to be placed after the noun they modify, rather than in front of it. The most common of these is "ago": "I arrived three days ago" or "one year ago, he left." Most of these post-noun adjectives are derived from verbs or prepositions, so "below" would fit the pattern quite handily.
