We’ve covered the majority of parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. So, what’s left? What remains are the little connecting word categories: conjunctions, prepositions, and articles. These small words may not seem as important as verbs, nouns, and adjectives, but they are the backbone of English: these are the words that give our language structure. Conjunctions connect words and ideas together. Prepositions indicate relationships. Articles provide information about nouns. CC licensed content, Original Outcome: Other Parts of Speech.
