Verb
A verb may be called a 'doing' word because it describes the actions of persons or things or the state they are in or what is happening to them.
Noun
A noun is the name of a person, animal or thing.
Plurals are usually formed by adding an 's' to the end of the noun. For some nouns that end in 'o' plus those ending in 's' or 'sh' or 'ch' or 'x' or 'z' you must add 'es' to form the plural.
If the noun ends in a 'y' preceded by consonant you add 'ies' to form the plural.
Pronoun
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, for example, 'he' 'she' 'them' 'it' instead of the name of the person or thing.
Adjective
An adjective gives additional information describing a noun or pronoun.
Adverb
An adverb qualifies or modifies a verb or adjective or another adverb such as by giving information about 'how' 'where' 'when' etc.
Preposition
A preposition is a word or group of words giving more information about the location, direction, origin etc. of a noun or pronoun. Examples of prepositions are 'to' 'from' 'out of'.
