English is fun=)


When we speak and write English,we use many kind of words.For example,we used some words to give:

1. Name of a thing,a person,an animal,etc.Such as pencil,boy,girl,dog and cat.
2.To tell people action and what people do such as play,walk,talk,etc.
3.To tell how people do some things such as slowly,quickly,loudly,clearly,etc.
4.To describe in more details about the things such as the colour and what they looks like.

In English,words are divided into eight different kinds or classes.These eight different classes of words are called Parts of Speech.It is divided according to:

1.Noun.A noun is a name.For example,pen,boy,Malaysia,Ali.

2.Pronoun.A pronoun is a word used for or instead of a Noun.Such as He for Ali,She for Maria and It for a cat.

3.Adjective.An adjective is a word which tells something more about the Noun as black pen,good boy, fat cat,etc.

4.Verb.A verb is a "telling-word" or a "saying-word".It tells or says what a things or a person does as He walks,She Cries,It runs.The verb is the most important word in the sentence.

5.Adverb.An adverb is a word which tells something more about a verb as He speaks loudly,She cries continuously,etc.

6.Preposition.A preposition is a word which joins Nouns and Pronoun to other words as She is on the room,The cat is under the table,etc.

7.Conjunction.A conjunction is a word used to join word or a groups of words together.For example,He is good but you are better.
