What’s the difference between “parts of speech”, words classes, and word categories in speech?

By using various words and phrases, a foreign language learner finds it difficult to distinguish them. I am a native English speaker. I “surfed” the net, in Wikipedia and through Grammar.about. com and some other, although still having difficulties.

One just lists

  • Noun
  • Adjective
  • Verb…
  • Other

lists Content

  • words Noun
    • Verb…
    • Functions
    • words
  • Articles Pronouns…
    • Also
    • what
    • is

the topic header for the subject, object, predicator, adverbial? I find this pretty much my post.


I’d appreciate it if you could recommend a good English linguistics book. I have read numerous books, but I went through many. Something that offers just want I need to know, not redundant information.

What is your opinion on a controversial topic?

Which letter has a meaning is a word, and when the words are used in a sentence are called parts of speech. In a sentence ‘words’ turn into part of speech and they are often used in conjunction with other words. Example : They -word means a group of people (3rd person plural) There – (word) in a place Go-(word) means to move. 1. They go there. And never do they all go away. Here ‘They’ is a pronoun, ‘there’ is an Adverb and ‘they’ is a verb and they are all Parts of speech, not just words. 2. Our go begins today. Join the group. Here, ‘our’ is a possessive adjective, ‘go’ is a noun ( indicating name of action)’starts’ is a verb (action word), ‘today’ is an adverb. How can I manage money effectively? He (pr) always helps. “My speech.” Why do I need help? (Here ‘help’ is a noun, not a verb.)

We identify a person by his/ her name and a word by its Parts of Speech. (Words

distinguish a person by his/her name and a word by its parties of speech.)

The terms “part of speech”, word class, and word category are usually used interchangeably. What is David Denison’s recent essay on linguistic problems? Each word has its own function in speech.

Subject and object are grammatical relations. Grammars are different from parts of speech because they are not based on the role of a word in a sentence. Grammatical relationships can be found on any computer or mobile device. Which word is the subject of “cats like mice” in the sentence “cats like mice”? Is it the opposite of the sentence “Moles like cats” (and it seems like they have a subject)? What they do is the direct object.

Is it true that there are parts of speech when not parts of speech cause conversations? In The cats like the mice, the subject is the whole phrase The cats. The word cats is a noun, and The is an article or a determiner.
