Nouns:
Nouns are the names of various things and living beings that we see around us. Now imagine about the mountains, trees, animals, cars, bicycles, buildings etc that you see around yourself every time. These words are all nouns. Nouns can be the name of a person, place animal or thing. The word ‘noun’ has been derived from the Latin word ‘nomen’ which means Name. English grammar uses eight parts of speech and the most basic of them is nouns. Interestingly, nouns such as common nouns do not discriminate between gender and can refer to both men and women at the same time. For example doctor is a common noun which can refer to both gents doctor or a lady doctor. The syntax and rules of nouns may differ from language to language. Children start with nouns and go on with learning the eight parts of English grammar.
Examples
Some of the most common examples of nouns are given below:-
1- The child is playing.
2- The dog is barking.
3- New Delhi is the capital of India.
4- Rohan is our school captain.
Conjunction:
The function of conjunction is to hook up!
In simpler form conjunction is a word which joins two words, sentences, clauses & phrases with each other.
e.g.and, so , but, that, as well as, etc.
This will be more clear from the following sentences. The words marked in “Bold” are conjunctions.
a) PreetiandSupriya are weak in Mathematics.
b) RohanandAmit are good athletes.
c) Sumit is good in acting but Karan is best.
d) He is small but strong.
e) My brother and I went to the market.
f) Think before you speak.
g) I went to KulluManaliwith my family.
So we have seen that conjunctions are very important part of speech as it connects two sentences. If we do not use conjunction then the conversation or writing will become lengthy.
For instance: Let us reconsider example “e”.
In example “e’ we had joined two sentences.
1) I went to market.
2) My brother went to market.
Speak these sentences: I went to market. My brother went to market. Feeling uneasy in reading….yes.
Now read this sentence:My brother and I went to market. See how simply the message is conveyed.
Really Conjunctions has made the English speaking very simple! Don’t you think so?
INTERJECTIONS:
Think you have reached office in the morning & you find letter. You have opened it and found that it is your “Promotion letter” ! What will be the first word which you speak??? WOW!, YES I GOT IT FINALLY, THANK U GOD !etc .etc…
What are these words called in English vocabulary ?
Yes u got it right. These words are called as “Interjections”.
So lets make it simple.
The words through which we express our feelings or emotions are called as Interjections.
e.g. : Wow !! This is a beautiful place.
Some more interjections are alas! Hey!oh ! ouch!Indeed!
