00:48One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
00:52There are eight parts of speech.
00:55Right, but what's a part of speech?
00:58A part of speech is a word with a special job in a sentence.
01:04What do you mean?
01:07Just as a person can be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, artist, singer, or driver,
01:16a word can be a noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, etc.
01:22Just as a doctor has a special job in the community,
01:27a noun has a special job in the sentence.
01:31Oh, okay.
01:33So noun, tell me a little about yourself.
01:36What do you do?
01:38Ahem, I'm noun.
01:40A noun is a word that names a person, place, animal, thing, or idea.

03:05You made it easy for me.
03:07Now, pronoun.
03:09Can you tell me a little about yourself?
03:12Sure, I'm pronoun.
03:15A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun.
03:19Look at these sentences.
03:22Harry is a boy.
03:24Harry lives in London.
03:26London is a big city.
03:29Now look at these sentences.
03:32Harry is a boy.
03:34He lives in London.
03:36It is a big city.
03:39The words he and it are pronouns.
03:43They replace the nouns Harry and London.
03:48Words like I, you, he, she, it, we and they are pronouns.
03:57You'll learn more about pronouns in another video.
04:02Thank you pronoun for that great introduction.
04:05Now, who's next?
04:08I am verb.
04:10A verb is a word that shows action, being or possession.
04:14Let me give you some examples.
04:16I jump.
04:18Jump is a verb.
04:20It tells about action.
04:22Words like jump, eat, sleep, walk, read, swim and drive tell about different actions.
04:31They are verbs.
04:33He is my friend.
04:36The word is tells about being.
04:39Am, is, are, was, were, all these words tell about being.
04:46They are verbs.
04:48I have a car.
04:50Look at the word have.
04:52It shows possession.
04:54I have a car means I possess a car.
04:58Have, has and had are verbs that show possession.
05:04Well, let me repeat.
05:07A verb is a word that shows action, being or possession.
05:12We'll learn more about different types and tenses of verbs in another video.
05:17Now, adjective.
05:19It's your turn.
05:21Hello, I'm adjective.
05:24An adjective is a word that describes a noun.
05:28It tells about what kind, how many, how much, what color, how old, how big, etc.
05:36For example, what kind of flower?
05:39A big flower.
05:41Big is an adjective.
05:44It describes the noun flower.
05:47What color flower?
05:49A red flower.
05:51Red is an adjective.
05:53It describes the flower.
05:56How many flowers?
05:58One flower.
06:00One is an adjective.
06:02It tells us more about the flower.
06:05Now, look at some adjectives here.
06:08And don't you worry.
06:11We'll learn more about adjectives in another video.
06:14We'll learn adjectives that describe people, food, weather, feelings and many, many more.
06:22It's my turn now.
06:25I'm adverb.
06:27Okay, adverb.
06:29Tell us about yourself.
06:30An adverb is a word that adds to the meaning of a verb, adjective or another adverb.
06:38Let's see some examples.
06:41The little children played.
06:44Here, little is an adjective and played is a verb.
06:50Let's add more information to these words.
06:54The very little children played well.
06:58Very and well are adverbs here.
07:03You get these adverbs by asking the question, how?
07:07How little?
07:09Very little.
07:11Played how?
07:13Played well.
07:15How well?
07:16Extremely well.
07:18Extremely and well, both are adverbs.
07:22Let's ask one more question.
07:25Played when?
07:27Yesterday.
07:29Yesterday is an adverb too.
07:33So, if you want to get an adverb, just ask the question, how, when or where to a verb, adjective or another adverb.
07:44Is that right?
07:46Yes, that's right.
07:48And did you know, a lot of adverbs can be made by adding L-Y to an adjective.
07:54You can see these examples.
07:58Thank you, adverb.
07:59That was awesome.
08:02Now, let me introduce myself.
08:04I'm preposition.
08:06Go ahead, preposition.
08:09Sure, a preposition is a word that shows the relation of a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence.
08:19Can you please give us some examples?
08:22No problem.
08:23Here you go.
08:25A preposition can tell the position of something.
08:29The cat is on the table.
08:32The table is under the tree.
08:35A preposition can tell the time when something happens.

09:15A conjunction is a joining word.
09:18It connects words and parts of a sentence together.
09:21Look at these two sentences.
