The 8 PARTS OF SPEECH simply explained!

Learning English grammar for beginners can be challenging, but understanding the parts of speech in English grammar is essential to communicate effectively. In today’s video, I'm teaching the parts of speech because this topic is crucial for understanding English grammar. You need to understand how different word classes function and combine to form sentences. By knowing this, you can create any sentence you want. I am Joseph Laughter, and I welcome you to my YouTube channel for this lesson on the parts of speech. Please like, share, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

In learning the parts of speech, the two most important words are nouns and verbs. I tell my students that if they understand nouns and verbs, half of their problem with English grammar is solved. This is because it is difficult to make any sentence without combining these two words. For example, the sentence "Joseph teaches" uses only a noun ("Joseph") and a verb ("teaches"). Verbs can even be more important than nouns, as you can give commands like "go" or "sit" without a noun.

Here is a summary of the eight parts of speech:
Nouns: Simply put, nouns are names. A noun is the name of a person, animal, place, thing, idea, or anything you can imagine that has a name. Examples include "Joseph," "dog," "London," and "love". A noun can be concrete or abstract.
Pronouns: Pronouns are words used to replace nouns so you don't have to repeat nouns repeatedly. Examples are "he," "she," "it," "I," "we," and "they".
Adjectives: Adjectives describe nouns. They tell us more about nouns, such as the colour, like "white wall" or "black marker," or qualities and size, like "handsome boy" or "small".
Prepositions: Prepositions show the relationship between nouns. For example, the marker is on the table, or I am in the classroom. Words like "in," "on," "out," "beside," and "behind" are prepositions.
Verbs: Verbs are words that mostly show actions. Actions include "go," "eat," "teach," "write," "listen," "watch," "sing," "dance," and "jump".
Adverbs: Adverbs describe verbs. If adjectives tell us more about nouns, adverbs tell us more about verbs, such as the manner, place, or time in which the action was done. For instance, in "the teacher ate hungrily," "hungrily" tells us how the teacher ate. Many English words ending in "ly" are adverbs.
Conjunctions: Conjunctions join words, phrases, clauses, and sentences together. They can even join paragraphs. Examples include "and," "or," "but," "neither nor," and "either or".
Determiners: Determiners help us specify, which is a job similar to what adjectives do. Examples include articles like "a," "an," and "the;" quantifiers like "some," "many," and "most;" demonstratives like "this" and "that;" and possessives like "my" and "your".
I hope this brief video has helped you learn a lot. Nouns name, pronouns replace nouns, adjectives describe nouns, prepositions show the relationship between nouns, verbs are action words, adverbs describe verbs, conjunctions join, and determiners specify. Thank you for watching.
