3. A verb is a word used to indicate an action taken by the noun or the subject of a sentence. Another name for them is action words. Verbs include things like read, sit, run, pick, garnish, come, pitch, and so on.

4. Adverbs are words that give more context for verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs that are employed in sentences. There are five main sorts of adverbs namely, adverbs of manner, adverbs of degree, adverbs of frequency, adverbs of time and adverbs of place. Adverbs like "today," "soon," "randomly," "early," "12 a.m." are a few examples.

5. Adjectives are words that in a phrase are used to describe or give additional details about the noun or the subject. Adjectives contain things like nice, ugly, fast, lovely, late, etc.

6. Words that connect one sentence element to another are called prepositions. Prepositions indicate where the subject or object is in a sentence. Prepositions include, among others, in, out, beside, in front of, below, and opposing.

7. A sentence, phrase, or clause can have two distinct elements that are connected by a conjunction. Conjunctions can take the following forms: and, or, for, yet, although, because, not only, etc.
