CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
What is a part of speech? Parts of speech are types of words that compose sentences into
coherent sentences and provide understanding to the reader/listener. In fact, knowing the meaning
of each part of speech separately is theoretically irrelevant. The most important thing is knowing
how to use it according to the rules of grammar. So these words are the "basic language" in a
"building" sentence, not the "function" word in the sentence why is that? Because a word can have
several (more than one) function in a sentence.

usually answer the questions how, when, where, why, under what conditions, or to what degree. Not
only that, adverbs of an adjective usually end in –ly particles, such as deeply, extremely, happily,
fairly, and others, but there are also adverbs that do not come from adjectives such as very,
somewhat, only, quite, and so on.
The kinds of adverbs in English are:
•Adverb of time (early, recently, yesterday, now, tonight)
•Adverb of manner (fast, hard, slowly, softly, quickly) •Adverb of degree (enough, quite, so, too ,
very)
•Adverb of modality (likely, maybe, perhaps, possibly, unlikely)
•Adverb of frequency (always, barely, daily, often, sometimes)
• Adverb of place (away, behind, here, nearby, somewhere)
•Adverb of focus (also , even, just, mainly, only)

phrase. Prepositions almost always function as adjectives or adverbs.

CLOSING
A. Conclusion
Part of speech in English means word types or word classes. It is called part of speech
because the parts of speech or parts of sentences (remember, basically sentences in language are
sentences that are spoken, not written), because these words are a system needed to form a sentence,
regardless of what their respective duties or functions. There are several types of parts of speech,
namely nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and so on. Each type has a different meaning and
function.
