The document discusses the 8 parts of speech in English grammar: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections. It provides examples of each part of speech and explains their definitions and functions within sentences.

elephant, chicken...) An inanimate noun refers to a material object (stone,
wood, table...)
3. A collective noun describes a group of things or people as a unit (family,
flock, audience...)

window...) Proper nouns, however, refer to the name of a single person, place
or thing (John, Joseph, London...)

noun (sister-in-law, schoolboy, fruit juice)
6. Countable (or count) nouns have a singular and a plural form. In plural,
these nouns can be used with a number- they can be counted. (friends,
chairs, houses, boys...) Uncountable (or non count) nouns, however, can only
be used in singular. They can't be counted. (money, bread, water, coffee...

6. PRONOUNS
