What are the 9 Parts of Speech?

Question

Verbs and Verb Tenses

Action verbs, express what is happening (do, work). State verbs express a situation (be, have).

Nouns

Nouns represent people (teacher, Mary), places (town, Asia) and things (table, music).

Adjectives

An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun (big, red, expensive).

Adverbs

Adverbs tell us more about verbs, adjectives or adverbs (loudly, really, extremely).

Determiners

Determiners are words like the, an, this that start a noun phrase.

Prepositions

A preposition expresses the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word (at, in, from).

Pronouns

Pronouns are small words like you, ours, some that can take the place of a noun.

Conjunctions

Conjunctions join two parts of a sentence (and, but, though).

Interjections

Short exclamations with no real grammatical value (ah, dear, er)

Answer 1

It looks like you answered your own question! I'd just add that "verb tenses" are not a part of speech. Tense is a property of verbs, and a finite verb is conjugated based on its tense. For example, for the present tense you might conjugate the verb "to walk" as "walks," but for the past tense you would conjugate the same verb as "walked." In either case, the part of speech is simply "verb."
