What can be more important about grammar than parts of speech? Without knowing the parts of speech, there's no way for everyone to get on the same page when it comes to grammar. Noun: Person, place, or thing. Man, dog, college, and orangutan are all nouns. Verb: Any action or anything being done. Kick, jump, study, and swing are all verbs. Helping Verb: Verbs like have, do, and be that help indicate the tenses of main verbs. In a sentence like "I have done my homework," "have" helps "done" show its tense. Conjunction: Words that help combine sections of sentences and join separate elements. In the following sentence, "and" is a coordinating conjunction connecting two complete clauses. "The orangutan attacked the dog and I saved it."
