مقدمة
"Parts of speech" are the basic types of words that English has. Most grammar books say that there are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, prepositions and interjections. We will add one more type: articles.
It is important to be able to recognize and identify the different types of words in English, so that you can understand grammar explanations and use the right word form in the right place. Here is a brief explanation of what the parts of speech are:
Noun
الأسم
A noun is a naming word. It names a person, place, thing, idea, living creature, quality, or
action.
الاسماء هي ما نسمي او ندعو به كل شيء حولنا من اشخاص او حيوانات او اشياء او افكار
Examples:
cowboy, theatre, box, thought, tree, kindness, arrival
Verb
الافعال و هي ما نقوم به من أعمال و الافعال لها صيغ و اشكال مختلفة
A verb is a word which describes an action (doing something) or a state (being something).
Examples:
walk, talk, think, believe, live, like, want
Adjective
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun.
الصفات هي الكلمات التي تصف الاسماء او الضمائر و هي تعبر عن اللون او العدد او الحالة او النوع الخ..
Examples:
big, yellow, thin, amazing, beautiful, quick, important
Adverb
An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened.
هي كلمه تصف الافعال و تعطي معلومات اضافية عن متى و اين و كيف حدث الفعل
Examples:
slowly, intelligently, well, yesterday, tomorrow, here, everywhere
Pronoun
A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun.
هي الضمير و التي تحل عادة محل الاسم في الجملة و ممكن ان تدل مثل الاسماء على اشخاص او اشياء او حيوانات الخ...
Examples:
I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Conjunction
A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together.
هي كلمه تقوم بربط الجمل او اجزا من الجمل ببعضها لتعطي معنى اوضح و افضل
Examples:
but, so, and, because, or
Preposition
A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence.
حرف الجر هي كلمه تستعمل مع الاسماء او الضمائر و تربطهم مع باقي اجزاء الجملة
Examples:
on, in, by, with, under, through, at
Interjection
An interjection is an unusual kind of word, because it often stands alone. Interjections are words which express emotion or surprise, and they are usually followed by exclamation marks.
هي عبارة عن كلمات تعبر فقط عن شعور قوي او مفاجأة و عادة يكون بعدها علامة تعجب !
Examples:
Ouch!, Hello!, Hurray!, Oh no!, Ha!
Article
An article is used to introduce a noun.
عادة تستعمل قبل الاسم
Examples:
the, a, an
source
... ... ... ... ... ... .... .... .... .... ... ... ...
