Important notes
Traditional grammar commonly teaches eight parts of speech. This guide adds determiners as a separate ninth group.
Some older textbooks use terms such as possessive adjective (my, your) or demonstrative adjective (this, those); many modern grammars classify these as determiners.
One word may have different functions: I work. (verb) / My work is interesting. (noun); a fast car (adjective) / run fast (adverb).
Remember: Identify the word class from its function in context, not translation alone.
