PARTS OF SPEECH:
When we talk about "parts of speech", we're talking about words. But unlike most words you've read so far, these are parts of the language that have very specific functions within a sentence.
Parts of speech are parts of grammar. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns are the most basic parts of speech.
What is Part of Speech?
Words are used for different purposes, they perform a variety of functions.
They, sometimes, name of a person, place, thing, and on certain occasions, they are used in place of nouns, or they describe things, persons. Words are also used to describe actions, show relationships, and combine words or sentences.
Words may also be used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb and to express some sudden feelings.
Parts of speech are words in a sentence that has special meaning and function. It seems as if all sentences might be made up of verbs, adjectives, nouns, and adverbs. Verbs must describe action; adjectives modify nouns, etc.

The eight parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs of place, adverbs of manner, conjunctions, and prepositions) are the most used structural features in traditional grammar. Without these eight elements, nothing can be said in English. Although this classification is very useful for practical purposes it is not completely accurate as there can be some overlap between the categories.
