Explanation:

In grammar, the term parts of speech refers to categories of words formed based on the similarity of the words' grammatical properties. There are eight basic parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections. Some say that there are nine parts of speech, defining determiners as a separate part of speech.

Nouns are words used to name different things, such as living creatures, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas.

Pronouns are words we use instead of nouns or noun phrases.

Adjectives are words that modify nouns.

Verbs are words that express actions, occurrences, or states of being.

Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Conjunctions are words used to connect words, phrases, or clauses.

Prepositions are words used to connect nouns, pronouns, and phrases to other words within a sentence and express the relationship between them.

Interjections are words used to express strong feeling or sudden emotion. They are grammatically independent from the rest of the sentence.
