Parts of Speech

Ups.... Lost in posting. :P
I forget to post the basic part of this.... Yes, now we will discuss about "Parts of Speech" ƪ( ˘⌣˘ )┐ ┌( ˘⌣˘ )ʃ
We know that a sentence is built by two or more words as a, minimal, Subject and Predicate and it has complete meaning. But, before we talk about the S and P, we should know the various kinds of words. Yes, below is description in general... ^^

Verb


One of parts of speech is verb. A verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), or a state of being (be, exist, stand). In the usual description of English, the basic form, with or without the particle to, is the infinitive. In many languages, verbs are inflected (modified in form) to encode tense, aspect, mood and voice. A verb may also agree with the person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments, such as its subject, or object. (wikipedia.com)

Adjectives


In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more information about the object signified.

Adjectives are one of the traditional eight English parts of speech, though linguists today distinguish adjectives from words such as determiners that were formerly considered to be adjectives.

Noun


Nouns are the most basic part of English language.
All other parts of our language either describe nouns; tell what a noun is doing, or take the place of a noun.
Nouns answer the questions "What is it?" and "Who is it?" They give names to things, people and animals qualities.
Examples: dog, bicycle, man, girl, beauty, truth, world.
Nouns are words that name: Persons or animals,Things/object, Places, Ideas, Emotions or, qualities, Measurements, Action, substances.
