Parts of Speech

The English language has eight main parts of speech that work together to create meaningful sentences. Let's break them down:

Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. They can be common (book, love) or proper nouns which name specific things and always start with capital letters (Hailey, Arizona, Statue of Liberty).

Pronouns take the place of nouns so we don't have to repeat the same noun over and over. Examples include he, she, they, and them. Using pronouns makes your writing flow better!

Verbs are the action words of language. They come in three types: action verbs show what the subject is doing (run, scream), linking verbs connect subjects to their descriptions (is, was), and helping verbs support other verbs (should have, was).

Pro Tip: When you're trying to identify parts of speech in a sentence, start by finding the verbs first. Once you know the action, it's easier to figure out who's doing it (noun) and how they're doing it (adverbs).

Adjectives describe nouns and make your writing more colorful (wise, beautiful, red), while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (quickly, well, softly).

Prepositions show relationships involving space or time (in, above, before, across), and conjunctions join words or groups of words together—remember FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). Finally, interjections express sudden emotions (Oh no!, What?!, Wait!).

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
