Once a lion trapped a mouse under it’s
large paw. The mouse pleaded for it’s
life, so the lion let it go. Later the lion
became entangled in a hunter’s net
and roared in distress. The mouse
rushed to help. “You’re too small to
help,” said the lion. But the mouse
nibbled at the net until the lion was
free.

Parts of Speech

 “Parts of speech” are the basic types of words that English
has. Most grammar books say that there are eight parts of
speech:
 We will add one more type: articles.
nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns,
conjunctions, prepositions and interjections.
+ article
 It is important to be able to recognize and identify the
different types of words in English, so that you can
understand grammar explanations and use the right word
form in the right place. Here is a brief explanation of what
the parts of speech are:
Parts of Speech

a state (being something).

Adverb
Pronoun
An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you
how something is done. It may also tell you when or where
something happened.
Examples: slowly, intelligently, well, yesterday, tomorrow, here,
everywhere
A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun.
Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Preposition
A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun
phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence.
Examples: on, in, by, with, under, through, at

alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise,
and they are usually followed by exclamation marks.
