These are the words that you use to make a sentence.

Verbs and Verb Tenses
Action verbs, express what is happening (do, work). State verbs express a situation (be, have). 

Nouns
Nouns represent people (teacher, Mary), places (town, Asia) and things (table, music).

Adjectives
An adjective is a word that tells us more about a noun (big, red, expensive).

Adverbs
Adverbs tell us more about verbs, adjectives or adverbs (loudly, really, extremely).

Determiners
Determiners are words like the, an, this that start a noun phrase. 

Prepositions
A preposition expresses the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word (at, in, from).

Pronouns
Pronouns are small words like you, ours, some that can take the place of a noun.

Conjunctions
Conjunctions join two parts of a sentence (and, but, though).

Interjections
Short exclamations with no real grammatical value (ah, dear, er)
