Parts of Speech Concept Map: Structure and Use
A parts of speech concept map shows the word classes used to build English sentences. The eight classes are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. Each class is defined by the job a word does in a sentence, not by its spelling alone.
- Nouns and pronouns: name people, places, things or ideas, and replace them
- Verbs: express actions, events or states of being
- Adjectives and adverbs: modify nouns, and verbs or other modifiers
- Prepositions and conjunctions: show relationships and join words or clauses
- Interjections: express sudden emotion, set apart from the sentence
Use the map to review each class, then check it against example sentences. CogniGuide can build a personalized map from your own grammar notes.
