38 Introduction to Other Parts of Speech

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.
