The phrases parts of speech mean, "the jobs that words do in a sentence."
The word speech here means "a statement that conveys meaning."
When you express your ideas to others, you group words into sentences to make statements, give orders, or ask questions.
Every word has a function in every sentence. There are eight different functions, or eight different parts of speech namely: Noun, Pronoun, Adjective, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, and Interjection.
Some words may perform different functions in different sentences. The part of speech is determined by its function or by the way the word is used in a sentence.
There are four main jobs that words perform in English sentences: naming, asserting, modifying, and joining.
Here is how the traditional parts of speech fall into the modern linguistic pattern:
Naming words: Nouns and Pronouns
Modifying words: Adjectives and Adverbs
Joining words: Prepositions and Conjunctions
Independent words: Interjections.
Asserting words: Verbs
