• NOUN

  Nouns are often used with an article (the, a, an), but not always. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter; common nouns do not. Nouns can be singular or plural, concrete or abstract. Nouns show possession by adding 's. Nouns can function in different roles within a sentence; for example, a noun can be a subject, direct object, indirect object, subject complement, or object of a preposition.
• PRONOUN

  A pronoun is usually substituted for a specific noun, which is called its antecedent. Pronouns are further defined by type: personal pronouns refer to specific persons or things; possessive pronouns indicate ownership; reflexive pronouns are used to emphasize another noun or pronoun; relative pronouns

  introduce a subordinate clause; and demonstrative pronouns identify, point to, or refer to nouns.
• VERB

  There is a main verb and sometimes one or more helping verbs. A verb must agree with its subject in number (both are singular or both are plural). Verbs also take different forms to express tense.
• ADJECTIVE

  It usually answers the question of which one, what kind, or how many.
• ADVERB

  It usually answers the questions of when, where, how, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Adverbs often end in -ly.
• PREPOSITION

  A preposition is always part of a prepositional phrase. The prepositional phrase almost always functions as an adjective or as an adverb.
• CONJUNCTION

  A conjunction indicates the relationship between the elements joined. Coordinating conjunctions connect grammatically equal elements: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet. Subordinating conjunctions connect clauses that are not equal: because, although, while, since, etc.
• INTERJECTION

  An interjection is often followed by an exclamation point.
