Theory
Question of identification of Parts of Speech can be
in two forms. They are,
a.
Class
way
(1)
Before using the word in the sentence
(2)
According to the formation and meaning of
the word
b.
Functional
Way
(1)
After using the word in the sentence
(2)
According to the function and positon of
the word in the sentence
Q. Identify the word “Monthly” which parts of speech?
a. Noun
b. Pronoun
c. Adjective
d. Adverb
In this type of case we will use the class way. We have to identify the
parts of speech of the word according to the formation and meaning of the word.
According to the word,
Monthly
= Month + ly.
If
any word is connected with ly it is called an Adjective.
Q. Identify the parts of speech in the sentence, “I
pay my teacher monthly.”
a. Noun
b. Pronoun
c. Adjective
d. Adverb
In this type of case we
will use the Functional way. We have
to identify the parts of speech of the word according to the function and
positon of the word in the sentence.
In this sentence pay is
an action verb. We can’t put an adjective in the sentence after the action
verb. So monthly is an adverb.
Q. The word information
is _______.
a.
Noun
b.
Pronoun
c.
Adjective
d.
Adverb
Words ending in “-tion,” “-sion,” “-ity,” “-ment,” “-ness,”
and “-hood” often indicate nouns if the word needs to be identified in the
class way. So this word informa-tion is a Noun.
Q. It is an information
desk. Here “Information” is _________.
a.
Noun
b.
Pronoun
c.
Adjective
d.
Adverb
This word’s parts of
speech will be identified in the functional
way. If there is two word after the determiner they will be marked as adjective and noun sequentially. Here, Information is an adjective.

Function
of Noun
The main function of noun is becoming the subject or
object of a sentence. Two parts of speech can be subject or object of a
sentence. They are Noun and Pronoun.
The word used instead of noun to avoid the repetition
of noun is called Pronoun.
Note that if any other parts of speech acts as Subject
or Object of a Sentence it will automatically become a Noun or Pronoun.
As Example,
Q. “To” is a preposition. Here To is ______.
a.
Noun
b.
Pronoun
c.
Adjective
d.
Preposition
Here “To” is acting as the Subject of the sentence so
“To” will become the noun in the sentence.
Q. Rana wants help. Here help is _________.
a. Noun

Here “help” is a noun because it acts as an object.

f. Infinitive
g. Infinitive
phrase
