Can anyone explain to me what noun, verb, adj, adverb and other parts of speech are? I'm not good at these and now our teacher is going to give us a word and we have to tell what it is.

1. Noun - The name of a person, place, thing, or idea
2. Pronoun - A word that replaces a noun
3. Verb - A word that shows action, existence, or state of being
4. Adjective - A word that describes a noun or pronoun
5. Adverb - A word that describes a verb, adjective, or adverb
6. Preposition - A word that shows the relationship between words
7. Conjunction - A word that joins words or groups of words

Schoolhouse Rock is SO awesome...

Okay: a noun: A person, place or thing
A verb: an ACTION word
An adjective: modifies a noun (using ends with ISH) The man had a BOYISH face.
an Adverb: modifies a VERB (typically ends in -LY) The girl went SLOWLY down the hill.

A NOUN is anything that you can see, anything you feel like love, hatred, it is also an idea like patriotism, or communism, it is anything you hear like a roar, a cry and it is also anything that has a name. in other words, it is a name word: like dog, cat, mouse house, country or month (these are common nouns) On the other hand, James, Fido, Garfield, Slow Poke Rodriguez, The Trooper J Mansion, Japan or July are called proper nouns.

adjctives are words that describe a noun. exampe, red bag. Red describes the bag which is noun. a big house. Beautiful lady, etc...
adverb are words that describe or modify adjctives, vebs or aother adverb example: VERY (adv) old (adj) / Speak (verb) SOFTLY (adv) / VERY (adv) BEAUTIFULLY (adv) crafted (adj) piece (noun)of art.

verb - action words like run, jump, speak, talk, etc... verbs may also be state of being verbs like, AM, IS example: I AM sick. He IS handsome.

if you need some more, you may check other grammar books. look for parts of speech. I have already given you three of them with examples. look for the other four... happy hunting...
