Parts of Speech
Please note that you no more need to know all the types of words than any of us needs to know exactly how each part of our car's engine functions in order to drive.
However, we do need to know enough to know when to take it in to the mechanic.
Beyond the standard parts of speech—noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection—the resources section offers targeted information on the types of words that often trip up graduate and professional writers.
