Language is a vehicle of our thoughts
A vehicle in perfect condition delivers the goods properly.
Language in proper form expresses the thoughts in
proper sense
When we want to express what we think we deliver in the
form of speech
Different words constitute to our speech. Such words, as
per traditional grammar, are classified based on eight
parts of speech.
They are,
1. Noun
2. Pronoun
3. Adjective
4. Verb
5. Adverb
6. Preposition
7. Conjunction
8. Interjection
Each part of speech explains not what the word is but on
the usage of the word.
For example,
This book is written by Mahatma Gandhi
Here the word book is a Noun.
For convenient travel we book train tickets in advance
Here the word book is used as a verb.
i. Ram is a fast runner.
ii. Ram runs fast.
In the first sentence fast is an adjective.
The same word is an adverb in the second sentence.
Now we have seen how a word's part of speech can change
from one sentence to another sentence
Next step is to know about the sentences.
A group of words arranged in a proper order to give a
proper meaning is called a sentence. Sentences fall under
four kinds.
i. A sentence that reveals a mere statement is an
assertive sentence
Eg.: Now a days lot of people travel by two wheelers
ii. A sentence that asks a question is an Interrogative
sentence.
Eg.: what is your name?
iii. A sentence which expresses a command is called an
Imperative sentence.
Eg. Be careful!
iv. A sentence that reveals some sort of a strong feeling is
called an Exclamatory sentence.
