Classification of Parts of Speech
In this lesson, you will learn about the “classification of parts of speech,” an especially important topic in grammar. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain their structure and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
The ten parts of speech can be classified by determining in order whether a word is independent or dependent, whether it conjugates, and what sentence component it forms.
