Group of words are used together in a specific manner to write or speak a sentence. Every single
word in a sentence is given a name i.e. Noun, Pronoun, Verb etc.
To understand the sequence of words so that the sentence delivers the correct message, these
words are categorized in 8 categories, which are called the “Parts of Speech”.

8 Parts of speech; with their one-liner definitions are:

1. Noun (laKk) fdlh Hkh izk.kh] txg ;k oLrq ds uke dks laKk dgrs gSaA

Generally, Articles are not considered a separate part of speech; rather classified as adjectives because

they modify nouns by mentioning their quantity i.e. as a number (A pen means one pen).

Since childhood, we have been taught that a noun is the name of a person,
place or thing. This definition is not incorrect but we need to know a little
more. Even if, for an instance we assume, this definition is correct, then
why is the name of a dog or any animal for that matter considered a noun
! The fact is, name of any creature is a noun; be it a human or an animal.

Similarly, „love‟ is an example of abstract noun. It‟s not a name of a
person, place or thing , then why do we take it as a noun ! There are lot
many examples as such. Let‟s understand.

1) Proper Noun ¼O;fDrokpd laKk ½

Suppose, there are two mobiles. One is nokia‟s and another one is Samsung‟s. What is
common in both? They both are mobile. So „mobile‟ is a common noun.

You must be thinking that „Love‟ is a verb then how come it‟s an abstract Noun.
Let me tell you. There are a few words, which can function as nouns in some cases and
verbs in other cases, „Love‟ is one of them.

Love is life. I;kj ft+Unxh gSA ¼;gk¡ ij love ,d Hkkookpd laKk gSALove as an „Abstract Noun‟½

fdlh Hkh okD; esa Subject ;k rks laKk gksxh ;k fQj loZukeA uhps fn;s x;s mnkgj.kksa ls lef÷k,A
In a sentence, Subject is either a noun or a pronoun.

Hkkookpd laKk gSA

In above example, Subject is „Success‟. As per the rule, subject can either be a noun or a

pronoun. Since it‟s not a pronoun, it‟s a noun then. Now the question is, which noun it

is! It‟s not a name of any person, place or thing; it‟s neither a class; neither a group; nor

a material, then what it is? Oh yes!, „Success‟ can‟t be touched or seen, it is abstract

noun.

2- jke esjk nkLs r gSA Ram is my friend.

;gk¡ ij Subject gS & „Ram‟. ;s dkbs Z loZuke rks gS ugha] blfy, laKk gh gks ldrh gSA vc eqn~nk ;s gS fd ;s

In above example, Subject is „Ram‟. As per the rule, subject can either be a noun or a

pronoun. Since it‟s not a pronoun, it‟s a noun then. Now the question is, which noun it

is! It‟s a name of a person, so it is a proper noun.

3- oks esjk HkkbZ gSA He is my brother.

;gk¡ ij Subject gS & „He‟. ;s ,d loZuke gSA

In above example, Subject is „He‟. As per the rule, subject can either be a noun or a

pronoun. It‟s a pronoun.

4- bZekunkjh ejs s [kuw esa gSA Honesty is in my blood.

Subject gS & „Honesty‟. igys mnkgj.k dh rjg „Honesty‟ dks u Nw ldrs gSa u n[s k ldrs gSa] ;s ,d

Hkkookpd laKk gSA

Subject is „Honesty‟. Just like the first example, it can‟t be experienced by any of our 5

senses, hence it‟s clear, it‟s an abstract noun.

5- i<u+ k vPNh vknr gSA Reading is a good habit.

Subject is „Reading‟. It‟s neither a pronoun nor a noun that we have discussed above.
You might be getting little confused because „Read‟ is a verb. But you must notice that
„read‟ is attached with „ing‟ and used as a subject. We had told you that the subject

can either be a noun or a pronoun. It can‟t be a verb. The fact is; If a verb is added
with „ing‟ and used as a noun in a sentence, that verb is called „Gerund‟. It‟s your next
topic in this chapter.

Smoking is injurious to health.

Noun: Two types (in another classification)

Countable Noun ftUgas fxuk tk ldrk gSA Example: Pen, Boy, Book, Hair,

Star, Girl, Man, Cow, City, Paper
Uncountable Noun ftUgas fxuk ugha tk ldrkA etc.

Uncountable ekuk tkrk gSA

You must be thinking that „Hair‟ and „Star‟ are not possible to count. In fact, counting them is
difficult because they are huge in numbers but it‟s not impossible to count them; we can count
them like 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 1 hair, 2 hairs, 3 hairs etc. That‟s why they are called
countable nouns. Secondly, „Money‟ is an English word which is considered to be an
uncountable noun because we can‟t say “I have 1 money, 2 money, 3 money etc” so can‟t count
it in numbers.

57

The Noun: Gender (fyax)

laKk ;k loZuke dk o.kZu djrs gSaA

Adjectives are the words or the group of words that show the quality of
noun/pronoun or provide some additional information about them. In
other words, Adjectives describe a noun or pronoun.

vkb, dqN mnkgj.k n[s ksAa
Let‟s see some examples.

1) Ram is brave. ( jke cgknqj gS)
„cgknqj‟ gksuk jke dh fo‛ks"krk gSA pw¡fd jke ,d laKk gS blfy, „Brave‟ ,d fo‛ks"k.k gSA
To be „Brave‟ is the quality of Ram. Since Ram is a noun, hence Brave is an adjective.

2) He was brave. ( og cgknqj gS)
„cgknqj‟ gksuk mldh ;kfu „He‟ dh fo‛ks"krk gSA pw¡fd ÞogÞ ;kfu „He‟ ,d loZuke gS blfy, „Brave‟ ,d
fo‛ks"k.k gSA
To be „Brave‟ is the quality of „He‟. Since „He‟ is a pronoun, hence Brave is an adjective.

3) I have some/much water. ( esjs ikl FkksMk+ @cgqr ikuh gS)
ikuh ,d laKk gS blds lkFk „FkksMk+ ‟ ;k „T+;knk‟ yxkus ls ikuh dh ek=k ds ckjs esa irk py jgk gSA ;kfu ;g ‚kCn
ikuh ds ckjs eas dqN vfrfjDr lwpuk n+s jgk gS blfy, „some/much‟ ,d fo‛ks"k.k gSA
Here, we have used „some/much‟ with water. It gives an idea about the amount of
water. So using „some‟ or „much‟ gives some additional information about water. „Water‟
is a noun so „some/much‟ is an adjective.

4) Aman is my brother who plays with you. (veu esjk HkkbZ gS tks rqEgkjs lkFk [kys rk gS)
bl okD; esa tSls gh dgk x;k fd “tks rqEgkjs lkFk [kys rk gS” ] blls veu ds ckjs esa dqN vfrfjDr ckr irk

vfrfjDr lwpuk nsus okyk ;g okD; “tks rqEgkjs lkFk [ksyrk gS” ,d fo‛ks"k.k miokD; gSA
In this sentence, when said “who plays with you”, it provides additional information
about Aman that he plays with you. Since Aman is the name of a person, means a
noun, hence, the clause „who plays with you‟, which provides additional information
about a noun is an adjective clause.

5) He is Ram who is older than I. (oks jke gS tks eq>ls cM+k gS)
tc ge ;s dgrs gSa fd “tks eq>ls cM+k gS” ] rks geas jke ds ckjs esa dqN vfrfjDr ckr irk yxrh gS blfy, ;g
okD; “tks eq>ls cMk+ gS” ,d fo‛ks"k.k miokD; gSA
When We say “who is older than I”, it gives us some additional information about Ram,
who is a noun. Hence, this clause „who is older than I‟ is an adjective clause.

Adverbs are the words or a clause (group of words) that show the quality of
verb/adjective/another adverb or provide some additional information about them. In
other words, An Adverb polishes/describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb.

Let‟s understand with the help of a few examples.
vkb, dqN mnkgj.kkas dh enn ls le÷kas &

1) Ram runs fast. ( jke rts nkSM+rk gS)

„rts ‟ ‚kCn dk iz;ksx djus ls nkSM+us ds ckjs dqN vfrfjDr ckr irk pyrh gSA pw¡fd nkSM+uk(run) ,d fØ;k gS
blfy, bl fØ;k ds ckjs eas vfrfjDr lwpuk nsus okyk ;g ‚kCn „rts ‟ ,d fo‛ks"k.k gSA
When we add the word „fast‟, it modifies/describes the verb „Run‟. Hence the word „fast‟
is an adverb.

2) I study till late. ( eSa njs rd i<r+ k g¡)w

„njs rd‟ dk iz;ksx djus ls Þi<u+ Þs ds ckjs dqN vfrfjDr ckr irk pyrh gSA pw¡fd i<u+ k (study) ,d fØ;k gS
blfy, bl fØ;k ds ckjs eas vfrfjDr lwpuk nsus okyk ;g ‚kCn lewg „nsj rd‟ ,d fo‛ks"k.k gSA
When we add the word „till late‟, it modifies/describes the verb „Study‟. Hence „till late‟
is an adverb.

3) He is a very good boy. ( oks cgqr vPNk yM+dk gSA)

;s dguk fd Þoks cgqr vPNk yM+dk gSAÞ ;gk¡ ÞvPNk gkus kÞ mldh¼He½ fo‛k"s krk gSA p¡wfd ÞogÞ ;kfu He ,d

dguk „good‟ dh Hkh fo‛k"s krk crkrk gSA pw¡fd „good‟ ,d fo‛ks"k.k gS blfy, „very‟ ,d fØ;k fo‛ks"k.k gSA
Here, being „good‟ is the quality of „He‟, so „good‟ is an adjective because „He‟ is a
pronoun. But when we use „very‟, then basically „very‟ is showing even the quality of
„good‟. Since „good‟ is an adjective so „very‟ is an adverb because it is polishing an
adjective(good).

4) Ram runs very fast. (jke cgqr rst+ nkSM+rk gSA)

„fast‟ ,d fØ;k fo‛k"s k.k gS D;kasfd ;g ,d fØ;k (run) dks rjk‛k jgk gS ;kfu mldk xq.k crk jgk gSA „very‟
yxkus ls „fast‟ dks Hkh rjk‛kk tk jgk gS „very‟ Hkh ,d fØ;k fo‛ks"k.k gSA
Here „fast‟ is an adverb because it polishes a verb „run‟ and using „very‟ polishes „fast‟ so
„very‟ is basically polishing another adverb(fast), hence „very‟ is also an adverb.

68

5) Ram runs fast, which is good for us. (jke rts + nkSM+rk gS tks gekjs fy, vPNk gSA)

;gk¡ ij ;s dguk fd Þtks gekjs fy, vPNk gSÞ mlds rst nkSM+us ds xq.k ds ckjs esa dqN vfrfjDr lwpuk ns jgk gS
blfy, Þtks gekjs fy, vPNk gSÞ ,d fØ;k fo‛ks"k.k miokD; gSA
Saying that „which is good for us‟ is basically giving extra information about his quality
of running fast. Hence “which is good for us” is an adverb clause.

A, An and The – These three are called Articles. They are also classified as adjectives

because they modify nouns or provide additional information about them.

Before we start, Pay attention to:

We have often been taught that „an‟ is used when the next word starts with a vowel and „a‟ is
used when the next word starts with a consonant. If it is true, then why do we say „An hour‟ or
„A university‟; „h‟ is a consonant, why don‟t we use „a‟ before it & „u‟ is a vowel, why don‟t we
use „an‟. The fact is; it‟s not about starting of next word with a vowel or a consonant, rather it‟s

all about the starting of next word with a vowel sound or a consonant sound.

Articles nks rjg ds gksrs gSa &

1) Definite Article [The]-
Definite Article „The‟ generally points out a particular person, place or thing.

Assume that You are at home. Suddenly, a boy knocks at the door and wants to talk to your dad.
You go to your dad and say „Dad, a boy is at the door, who wants to talk to you.‟ Since your
father hadn‟t told you beforehand that there was some boy about to come, that‟s why you used
„a‟. Just imagine, if your father had already told you about that boy then you would have instead
said „Dad, the boy is at the door, who had to come to talk to you.‟

If the person, place or thing is unknown or being talked about for the first time,
then we need to use indefinite article i.e. “a” or “an”, however if the person, place
or thing is known and already been talked about, then we need to use definite
article i.e. “the”.

We have often been taught that „an‟ is used when the next word starts with a vowel and „a‟ is used
when the next word starts with a consonant. If it is true, then why do we say „An hour‟ or „A
university‟; „h‟ is a consonant, why don‟t we use „a‟ before it & „u‟ is a vowel, why don‟t we use
„an‟. The fact is; it‟s not about starting of next word with a vowel or a consonant, rather it‟s all

about the starting of next word with a vowel sound or a consonant sound.

using certain rules. There is a saying, practice makes a man perfect. We request you to
practice as much as possible. Read newspapers, learn new words, try to use learned

“Simple Sentences are those in which either there is no action (verb) at all or even if there
is an action, Subject doesn‟t perform that action.”

If we say „Ram is a good boy‟. Subject is Ram. Is Ram doing something? No, subject is
performing no action, means there is no verb, hence it‟s a simple sentence. Let‟s see
another example „Book is kept on the table‟. Subject is „book‟ & verb is to „keep‟. Is
subject doing something? No. Book itself is kept, hence it can‟t perform an action. So this
is also a simple sentence. Let‟s see one more sentence – „Ram is reading the book‟. In
this sentence, Subject is „Ram‟ & verb is to „read‟. Since Ram is performing the action of
„reading‟, hence it‟s not a simple sentence. It‟s actually a tense, which you will be taught
in later respective lesson.
