Not only nouns and verbs, there are at least 6-7 other components needed to compose a complete sentence.

The following is a complete description of the 9 Parts of Speech and examples, including:

1. noun

Noun is a word used to refer to objects, people, places, to something abstract. All types of words that refer to objects are included in the noun group.

In Indonesian, nouns are called "nouns"

There are 2 types of nouns in English, namely:

  • Proper noun: A noun in the form of a name / nickname so that the first letter must be capitalized.
    Examples: Names of people, movie titles, places, and more.
  • Common noun: A noun that usually doesn't take the form of a name or nickname and doesn't need to be capitalized

2. Interjection

Interjection is an additional word that actually has no meaning, or does not enter the English dictionary.

However, this word is often used to express the reader's feelings.

If you want to use an interjection, you can put it at the beginning, middle, or end of the sentence.

Some examples of interjection words that are commonly used natively are yep, well, wow, and others.

3. Conjunction

Conjunction serves as a liaison between two sentences to form a unified whole sentence.

However, in conjunction, two sentences that are combined can actually stand alone. The use of conjunctions was chosen to make the pronunciation of the two sentences more efficient.

There are 4 types of conjunctions that you can learn, including:

  • Coordinating conjunctions: Used to connect two sentences with equal position Example: For, yet, but, so, etc.
  • Correlative conjunctions: Used as a link between two sentences that have the same meaning. Example: Either / or, neither / nor, etc.
