Parts of Speech
Morphology is a field of linguistics focused on the study of the forms and formation of words in a language.
In Greek: ‘morph’ (shape, form) + ‘logos’ (study)Morphology deals with the internal structure of words.
A part of speech is a linguistic category of words sharing syntactic or morphological behaviour and semantic properties (such as a noun or a verb).
Parts of speech describe the job a word does in a sentence.

A POEM
Every name is called a noun, As field and fountain, street and town;In place of noun the pronoun standsAs he and she can clap their hands;
The adjective describes a thing,As magic wand and bridal ring;
The verb means action, something done -To read, to write, to jump, to run;
How things are done, the adverbs tell,As quickly, slowly, badly, well;
The preposition shows relation,As in the street, or at the station;Conjunctions join, in many ways,
Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase;The interjection cries out, ‘Hark!
I need an exclamation mark!‘Through poetry, we learn how each
Of these make up the parts of speech
