Possessive: mine; yours; his; theirs

Relative: who; which; that; whom

Reciprocal: one another; each other

Emphatic/Reflexive: myself; herself; itself; ourselves

Interrogative: what; which; whom; whose

Adjectives

These are words that describe nouns. Basically, words that enhance the value and describe the noun are adjectives. Example: The excited child; and Their house is bigger

Verbs

These are words that describe a specific action such as running. They are used to express a physical or mental action, for example thinking, feeling, and wanting. Examples: She spoke slowly; I am thinking about it, and She is a policewoman

Adverbs

These are words that describe and modify an adjective, a verb, or another adverb. Examples: I entered the room quietly, and A cheetah is always faster than a lion.

Conjunctions

These are words that build complex sentences expressing multiple ideas. Example: and; or; but; so; yet; for; nor; neither/nor; either/or; not only/but also; although; because; while; which; where; until.
