Sentences are composed of words. Each sentence has a subject and a predicate. The subject is a person, animal, or thing. The predicate is the activity the subject is doing. There are two kinds of subjects, nouns, or pronouns. Everything in the world has a name, and the name, is the noun. Proper nouns are unique, like the name of a person, or the name of a country.
Pronouns are used in place of a noun, instead of repeating the noun, people just say "he" or "they." Subjective pronouns are first person as in " I ," second "you," and third "he." These can be in plural form, as in "we," "you," and "they," respectively.
Prepositions give the noun and pronoun the time and space they hold, i.e, "above," "beyond," "under." Conjunctions are joining words, the common ones are "and," "or," and "but." Adjectives, describe a noun or pronoun, by naming their particulars, e.g., "mauve dove" mauve is the adjective. Verbs are just action, and adverbs describe verbs. An adverb "slow" could be used in the following sentence "He walked slowly."
This is just the basics of the parts of speech. You can identify them, and learn how to use each one.
