The speaker defines each part of speech: noun, verb, pronoun, adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition, and interjection. Examples are provided for nouns and verbs, explaining that nouns can be persons, places, things, or ideas, while verbs express actions or states of being. The paragraph emphasizes the foundational role of nouns and verbs in sentence and language structure, as every complete sentence must contain at least one of each.

The speaker delves into the specifics of pronouns, which replace nouns to save time and space, and add variety to sentences. Examples of pronouns are given, such as 'he', 'she', 'it', 'they', and 'everyone'. Following this, adjectives are described as words or phrases that describe nouns or pronouns, with examples like 'slow', 'intelligent', 'displays', and 'athletic'. Adverbs are then explained as words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, answering questions of manner, time, and place, with examples like 'quickly', 'beautifully', 'lazily', 'extravagantly', and 'strangely'.

hello and welcome to here tutoring in
this video we're going to talk about the
eight parts of speech for each of the
eight parts of speech we will define it
and go over some examples so first here
are the eight parts of speech noun verb
pronoun adjective adverb conjunction
preposition and interjection now let's
start with now what is a noun a noun is
basically a person place thing or idea
here are some examples a person might be
a teacher a boy a girl a mom David Jill
the president etc a place might be the
United States a school of field of
bathroom Australia etc a thing might be
a pen a car the moon a toilet etc an
idea might be liberty or bravery or
happiness or fear etc next what is a
verb a verb is a word that expresses
either an action or a state of being
here are some examples and actually
might be run kick jump fly fall swim etc
in the work that of the state of being
includes words like is my were and our
action verbs are words that convey doing
something and the state of being verb is
a word that conveys well just being the
reason why our first two parts of speech
are nouns and verbs is because nouns and
verbs are the foundation of sentences as
well as the foundation of the English
language itself all complete sentences
must include at least some kind of noun
and some kind of verb next let's talk
about pronouns what is a pronoun a
pronoun is a word that takes the place
of a noun here are some examples of
pronouns tea Tim kids she her it's fake
many few all everyone
nobody anybody etc
instead of writing Jonathan every time
we can replace Jonathan with the pronoun
he both to save time and space and to
add variety to sentences instead of
writing the names of everyone in the
room we can replace this long list of
names with just the pronoun
everyone next let's move on to
adjectives what is an adjective
an adjective is a word or phrase that
describes a noun or a pronoun here are
some examples of adjectives slow
intelligent reader displays the athletic
to gigantic etc if we said the slow
turtle the word slow is describing the
noun turtle if we said he is weird the
word weird is describing the pronoun P
next up is adverbs what is an adverb an
adverb is a word or phrase that modifies
a verb an adjective or another answer a
lot of adverbs and then tell why such as
quickly beautifully lazily extravagantly
and strangely if we said she runs
quickly the adverb quickly is modifying
the word runs adverbs also answer the
questions how when and where for example
the ly adverbs that we just listed tell
how something is done quickly tells us
how she is ready examples of adverbs
that answer the question when are words
like now yesterday and then for example
in the sentence I ran yesterday
yesterday tells us when I ran examples
of ebbs the answer the question where of
words like they're here and away for
example in the sentence I ran there
there tells us where I ran one thing we
should be careful of with the adverbs if
the some prepositional phrases can also
answer the questions how when and where
the difference between the two are that
prepositional phrases will start with
the preposition and adverbs will not
moving on
what about conjunctions what are
conjunction conjunctions are words that
join words or groups of words there are
three categories of conjunctions
coordinating conjunctions correlative
conjunctions and subordinating
conjunctions coordinating conjunctions
can be thought of as the fanboys
conjunctions for each of the letters and
fanboys stands for each of the
coordinating conjunction for and nor but
or yet so correlative conjunctions are
conjunctions that have two parts such as
either or neither nor or both and
subordinating conjunctions become
subordinate clauses and a word like
before after during until and whereas
for example in the sentence before the
game the team practiced the word before
is the subordinating conjunction that
begins the subordinate clause before the
game up next are prepositions what are
prepositions these are kind of confusing
so pay attention prepositions are words
that show the relationship between a
noun or pronoun and other words in a
sentence they can express a relationship
in terms of space-time or logic examples
of prepositions that express a
relationship in terms of space are in
below above under outside and within an
easy way to think of spatial
prepositions is to think of where
something can be in relationship to the
Box we perceive it as something is in
the box below the box above the Box
under the box outside the box and within
the box
examples of prepositions that express a
relationship in terms of time or during
a while after and at for example in the
sentence I did my homework after I ate
the preposition after tells us when I
did my homework this is different from
an adverb because something comes after
the preposition here and also the
preposition relates two different things
in the sentence
examples of prepositions that express a
relationship in terms of logic or words
like for of concerning and despite for
example in the sentence I bought
groceries for my mother the preposition
for tells us why I bought groceries
finally we have interjections what are
interjections interjections are words
used to convey emotion through some kind
of exclamations some examples of
interjections are oh ouch whoa
and blah you can just insert these words
anywhere in the sentence and they'll
convey some kind of abrupt emotion so
now you know the eight parts of speech I
