Adjective: An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells you something about the noun.

Adverb: An adverb is a word which usually describes a verb. It tells you how something is done. It may also tell you when or where something happened.
Ex: yesterday, tomorrow,slowly.
Pronoun: A pronoun is used instead of a noun, to avoid repeating the noun.
Ex: I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
Conjunction: A conjunction joins two words, phrases or sentences together.
Ex: but, or. so.
Preposition: A preposition usually comes before a noun, pronoun or noun phrase. It joins the noun to some other part of the sentence.
