I don't know if anyone needs help with these, but I'll post them anyway:


Noun: Person, place, thing, or idea (house, car, computer, cat, park, apartment).
Pronoun: A word for a generic set of people (He, she, we they, neither, all, everyone). Also  interrogatives (Who, what, when, where, why).
Adjective: Describes a noun (big, blue, tall, wide, epic, useful).
Verb: Action! (ran, walk, ate, stole).
Helping Verb: Comes before a verb, and describes in what period of time you are doing something (is, am, are, was, were, be, been, being).
Adverb: Describes how the verb does something. Usually ends with -ly (quickly, silently, slowly, carefully, eagerly).
Conjunctions: A break in the sentence (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet, because).
Interjections: A brief exclamation (Oh my! Gosh! Wow! Ouch! Darn!)
Prepositions: Describes where you are in relation to a thing (noun) (around, under, through, beneath, above, around).

Subject: The noun in the sentence. (The black cat...).
Predicate: The verb and everything else after it (...ran across the room).

Declarative: A statement (I finished my homework).
Imperative: A command (Clean your bedroom).
Interrogative: A question (What time is it?).
Exclamatory: An exclamation (Johnny got hurt!).

Simile: Comparing two things using like or as (He's as fast as a cheetah).
Metaphor: Applying something to something else (He's a cheetah!).
Idiom: Figure of speech (Don't make a mountain out of a molehill).
Onomatopoeia: Words that sound like something (Zip, crash, boom, bang, zoom)


I hope someone will benefit from this list.
