Facilitates language comprehension!
Parts of speech play a crucial role in English language as they categorize words based on their function and usage within sentences. Understanding parts of speech helps in constructing grammatically correct sentences, conveying precise meaning, and effectively communicating ideas. Each part of speech serves a specific purpose; for example, nouns identify people, places, or things, while verbs express actions or states of being.
