What are the different word classes?

Word classes, also known as parts of speech, are the different categories into which words can be classified based on their function in a sentence. The main word classes include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Nouns refer to people, places, things, or ideas, while verbs are action words or state-of-being words. Adjectives modify nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Pronouns are used to replace nouns, prepositions show relationships between words, conjunctions join words, phrases, or sentences, and interjections express strong emotions. Understanding the different word classes is essential for effective communication and writing.
