What is a part of speech?
When you speak each word that you say can be put into a category. Each word that you say has a different function; one might be telling action, another might be telling someone's name or even telling the position of of an object or person. A name is given to each 'part' of our 'speech'. In English, these fall under eight main categories. How many can you name?
