EXAMPLES:

Nouns: Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. They are often the subject or object of a sentence and can be concrete (e.g., cat, house) or abstract (e.g., love, idea).

Adverbs: Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide information about the manner, frequency, time, place, degree, or reason of an action. For example, "She quickly ran to the store."

Relative Pronouns: Relative pronouns are words like who, which, that, whom, and whose that introduce relative clauses. They link the clause to the noun it describes.

Relative Clauses: Relative clauses are a type of subordinate clause that provides additional information about a noun in a sentence. They start with a relative pronoun (such as who, which, that) or a relative adverb (such as where, when). For example, "The book that I'm reading is interesting."

Articles: Articles are a type of determiner, and they include "a," "an," and "the." "A" and "an" are indefinite articles, while "the" is a definite article.

Pronouns: Pronouns are words that are used to replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition. Common pronouns include he, she, it, they, we, you, me, him, her, etc.

Determiners: Determiners are words that come before nouns to provide more information about them. They can include articles (a, an, the), demonstratives (this, that, these, those), quantifiers (some, many, a few), possessive pronouns (my, your, his, her, its, our, their), and more.
