ENGLISH GRAMMAR
SECOND PART:
ETYMOLOGY
The Second Part of Grammar is
called Etymology. Etymology treats
of words.
Words are considered in regard to
their classification, inflection, and deri-
vation.
By the Classification of words is
meant the arrangement of them into
different classes, according to their
signification and use.
By the Inflection of words is meant
the change of form which they under-
go.
By the Derivation of words is meant
the tracing of them to their original
form and meaning.
PARTS OF SPEECH.
The different classes of words are
called Parts of Speech.
The Parts of Speech are nine, viz.—
Article, Noun, Adjective, Pronoun,
Verb, Adverb, Conjunction, Preposition
and Interjection.
Definition of the Parts of Speech.
An Article is a word placed before
a noun to limit its signification.
A Noun is the name of any person,
place or thing, of which we can form
an idea.
An Adjective is a word used to state
the quality of the noun.
A pronoun is a word used in place
of a noun.
A Verb is a word used to express
the action of the noun.
An Adverb is a word used to mo-
dify the meaning of the verb, the ad¬
jective, and, sometimes, of another ad-
verb.
The Conjunction joins words and
sentences together.
The preposition is used to show the
relation between the noun and other
words, and the Interjection is used to
show any sudden emotion of the mind.
