  2. Verbs (the state or action word in a sentence)
  3. Adjectives (give more information about nouns)
  4. Adverbs (give more information about verbs)
  5. Determiners (words that come before most nouns)
  6. Prepositions (give information about place and time)
  7. Pronouns (replace nouns)
  8. Conjunctions (join sentences)
