Adverbs

 Adverbs

Adverbs are words used to add meaning to a verb, an adjective, or any other adverb. 

For example: Sumit reads cleverly. 

Classification

Time

Adverbs of time tell us about the time when the action/verb takes place. Adverbs of time mainly modify verbs. For example: He came yesterday. The above example answers the question of when yesterday. Hence, in the given sentence, yesterday can be taken as the adverb of time.

Place

Adverbs of place tell us the place where something happens. The verb in the sentence can answer the question of ‘where’. For example: Please sit here.

Manner

Adverbs of manner tell us the manner or way in which something is done. The verbs in the sentence answer the question of how. These are known to modify verbs. For example: He speaks slowly.

Degree

Adverbs of degree tell us the degree or extent to which something is done. They answer the question of how much or to what degree. For example: She entirely agrees with him.

Frequency

Adverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens. These phrases explain how often something happens. For example: she always tries to do her best.






Verbs

 Verbs

A verb is a kind of word (part of speech) that tells about an action or a state. It is the main part of a sentence: every sentence has a verb.  

Auxiliary Verbs

Also known as helping verbs, Auxiliary verbs do not imply any specific action but bring meaning to another verb.

There are four kinds of auxiliary verbs:

Verb- To be 

Usage- is, am, are, was, were

Verb- To do

Usage- do, does, did

Verb- To have

Usage- has, have, had

Modals-can, could, may, might, etc.

Ordinary Verbs

Main or ordinary verbs are ones that tell about the main action that the subject is doing or may tell the condition of the subject. 

There are two types of main verbs:

Transitive verb

Transitive verbs require an object to complete their meaning. For example: She likes chocolate.

Intransitive verb

Intransitive verbs are the ones that do not have a direct object after them. For example: The baby smiled.





Pronouns

Pronouns

Pronouns take the place of a noun and we use them so that we don’t have to repeat a noun. This helps to simplify speech and writing by using a word to represent longer passages and ideas. 

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns take the place of people or things. They can be either singular or plural, depending on whether they refer to one or multiple nouns. For Example: I, me, we, and us.

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are personal pronouns that also indicate possession of something. They have singular and plural forms These pronouns often appear before the possessed item, but not always. For example: both “my car” and “the car is mine” both indicate who owns the car.

Reflexive Pronouns

When a subject performs an action on itself, the sentence uses a reflexive pronoun after the verb. Reflexive pronouns include myself, himself, themselves, and herself. For example: “I kicked myself.”

Relative Pronouns

A relative pronoun starts a clause (a group of words that refer to a noun). Who, that, and which are all relative pronouns. They can also serve as other types of pronouns, depending on the sentence. For example: “I saw the dog that you own.”

Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns point out or modify a person or thing. There are four demonstrative pronouns: this and that (for singular words), and these and those (for plural words). For example: “This is my car.”




 




Nouns

 Nouns

A nonun refers to a word used for a person, place, or thing. Everything that we can see or talk about is represented by a word that names it. These are also known as naming words. 

To learn in detail, there can be five different types of nouns

1. Proper nouns 

These are the names of specific people, places, things, or ideas. The first letter of such words should always be in capitals. For example: Peter, India, January, Sunday

2. Common nouns

These name any person, place, thing, or idea. If such a term does not appear at the beginning of a sentence, it won’t begin with a capital letter. For example: cat, chair, boy

3. Collective nouns

These are used while representing a group of people, animals, or things. For example: gang of thieves, a bouquet of flowers, a flock of sheep, a group of people

4. Abstract nouns

These are the ones that are intangible in nature and cannot be seen or touched but can be felt. For example: honesty, truth, friendship, love, thirst

5. Material nouns

These are used to name a particular kind of matter. For example: iron, gold, water, salt
