Grammar is a set of rules that explain how words are used in a language. Words are classified into parts of speech such as NOUNS, PRONOUNS, ADJECTIVES, VERBS, ADVERBS, PREPOSITIONS, CONJUCTIONS, and INTERJENCTIONS. Some words belong to more than one part of speech depending on how they are used.
For example, the word ‘round’ can be used as a non, an adjective, an adverb, a preposition, and a verb.
Example:
Noun: I’m buying the next round.
Adjective: The baby has a round face.
Adverb: Gather round and listen to my story!
Preposition: She travels round the world.
Verb: The teacher rounded 638 to 640.
