Nouns
A noun is a person, place, or thing. Nouns can be used in sentences as the subject, direct object, predicate nominative, object of a preposition, as well as a possessive or modifier of another noun.
Pronouns
These take the place of nouns. They can be personal, indefinite, relative/interrogative, and demonstrative.
Adjectives
They are “the master of detail.” Adjectives can describe or limit their subjects. They also will answer the questions: “What kind? Which one? How many? How much?”
Adverbs
Whereas adjectives must modify a noun, adverbs modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. They can introduce sentences and connect clauses.

Conjunctions
Conjunction Junction
These are used for “hooking up words and phrases and clauses.” They are coordinating, subordinating, or correlative.
¡Interjections!
Hooray! Interjections are “the most manic”! They stand alone and often have an exclamation mark!
