Noun

A noun names a person, place, animal or thing and also something which can only be
thought of, but cannot be seen. For example:
Subhas Chandra Bose was a great Indian leader.
O
Allahabad is also known as Prayag.
O
The earth revolves around the sun.
O
He loves his freedom.
O
Pronoun

A pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. There are different kinds of pronouns. Just
like nouns, pronouns also have number and gender. For example:
I met Mother Teresa when she visited our school.
O
Geeta, I had left my books here. Have you seen them?
O
Prakash is an excellent athlete. He won the all-rounder trophy.
O
This is a unique stone. We brought it all the way from China.
O

Adjective

An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. There are different types of
adjectives that tell us more about nouns. For example:
Parts of Speech Verb This is an old fort.
The kingfisher is a colourful bird.

O
I have a warm coat.
O

O
Please show me the correct method to do it.
O

A verb is a word that expresses an action (walk, eat, sleep) or a state of being (is, am, are, was,
were). It is the most important part of speech as there can be no sentence without a verb.
For example:

The farmer plucked the apples and placed them in a cart.
O

Alaska is a cold country.
O
When are you at home today?
O
It was raining all night.
O
