What Are Parts of Speech?

Words are like building blocks in sentences! Every word has a special job, and these jobs are called parts of speech. The most common ones are nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

Common Parts of Speech

• Nouns are people, places, or things (like "dog", "school", or "ball").
• Verbs are action words (like "run", "jump", or "sing").
• Adjectives describe nouns (like "red", "happy", or "big").

Why Are Parts of Speech Important?

Knowing the parts of speech helps you make sentences that make sense. It's like knowing how to put together puzzle pieces to make a picture!

Real-World Use

When you write a story or talk about your day, you use nouns to tell who or what, verbs to tell what happened, and adjectives to add details.
