what parts of speech is 'there'?

Answer 1

"there" is indirect speech
"here" is called as "there" in indirect speech

Answer 2

"There" is usually an adverb of place. Example: He put the book there.(modifies the verb put) There are six reasons to vote in the affirmative. (modifies the verb are).

It is never an adjective as has been suggested, nor is it EVER a preposition. It could be a noun as in this example: "There" is an adverb and never an adjective. Here "there" functions as the subject of the verb is and is therefore functioning as a noun. In the sentence, "put it over there." there is NOT a noun!! It and over are both adverbs modifying put.

As I respond to these questions on grammar, notice I constantly emphasize the word "function" because the part of speech of a word is always determined by the way it functions in the sentence.

I hope this helps!!

there adverb See note below. USAGE NOTEthere is, there areThese phrases, though sometimes useful, can also be the enemies of a lean writing style, as several commentators have observed—e.g.: “The habit of beginning statements with the impersonal and usually vague there is or there are shoves the really significant verb into subordinate place instead of letting it stand vigorously on its own feet.” (David Lambuth et al., The Golden Book on Writing; 1964.) “The there construction is not to be condemned out of hand; it is both idiomatic and common in the best literature; it is clumsy and to be avoided with a passive verb; and in view of the prejudice against it [for promoting wordiness], the writer who uses it discriminatingly should take heart and be prepared to defend himself, for defense is indeed possible.” (Roy H. Copperud, American Usage and Style: The Consensus; 1980.)When is the phrase there is defensible? When the writer is addressing the existence of something. That is, if the only real recourse is to use the verb exist, then there is is perfectly fine—e.g.: “There is unlimited competition for our entertainment dollars.” ( Kansas City Star; Sept. 21, 1997.) Otherwise, though, the phrase should typically be cut—e.g.: “There is wide support among congressional Republicans for a flat tax.” ( Dallas Morning News; Sept. 20, 1997.) (A possible revision: “Congressional Republicans tend to support a flat tax.” Or: “Many congressional Republicans support a flat tax.”) The phrase there is wide support has become a cliché among political commentators. And it robs the sentence of a good strong verb.The number of the verb is controlled by whether the subject that follows the inverted verb is singular or plural. Mistakes are common—e.g.: “He said there is [read there are ] several truckloads of nuclear waste.” ( Knoxville News-Sentinel; Apr. 18, 1996.) “There seems [read there seem ] to be two key reasons for Capriati's renaissance.” ( USA Today; Jan. 26, 2000.)Especially when followed by a negative, there has in many minds come to represent a single situation. It therefore often appears, though wrongly, with a singular verb—e.g.: “ There wasn't [read there weren't ] any other witnesses. ” ( Austin American-Statesman; Dec. 9, 1994.) — BG
