The 8 Parts of Speech

​ScholarSkills Definitions of the Parts of Speech
  • A noun is a naming word: nouns name persons, places, things, or ideas.
  • A pronoun takes the place of a noun.
  • A verb is an action, being, or helping word.
  • A subject is a word or group of words that answers the question: who or what verb?
  • The predicate is a word or group of words that tells us what the subject is doing or being.
  • An object is a word or group of words that answers the question: verb who or what?
  • An indirect object is a word that answers the question verb to whom or for whom?
  • A subject complement is a word or group of words that answers the question “verb who or
  • what?” when the verb is a linking word.
  • When the complement is an adjective it is called a predicate adjective.
  • When the complement is a noun or pronoun it is called a predicate nominative.
  • An adverb is a word or group of words that answers the following questions:
  • verb where? verb when? verb why? verb how?. Adverbs also answer “how?” and “to what
  • extent?” about adjectives and other adverbs.
  • An adjective is a word or group of words that answers the following questions:
  • what kind? which one? how many nouns?
  • A phrase is a group of words without a subject-verb relationship.
  • Prepositions are words which begin phrases that end with a noun or pronoun and act like
  • adverbs or adjectives.
  • Conjunctions connect. They help us to create and understand the relationships between
  • words and groups of words in sentences.
  • Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS—For,And,Nor,But,Or,Yet,So) connect words and help
  • to create compound sentences.
  • Subordinating conjunctions create dependent clauses and complex sentences.
  • A clause is a group of words with a subject-verb relationship.
  • Dependent clauses are incomplete thoughts.
  • Independent clauses are complete sentences.
