What part of speech is the word 'Hurrah' in the sentence: 'Hurrah! Both my sister and I have won prizes in a debate.'?

Show answer

Interjection

Step 1: Look at 'Hurrah!' in the sentence. Notice the exclamation mark (!) after it. Step 2: Ask yourself: does this word express a sudden feeling or emotion? Yes – 'Hurrah' expresses sudden joy or excitement. Step 3: A word that expresses some sudden feeling is called an Interjection. Interjections are usually followed by an exclamation mark. Step 4: 'Hurrah' is not the name of anything (not a Noun), does not describe a verb (not an Adverb), and does not join words or sentences (not a Conjunction). Step 5: So 'Hurrah' is an Interjection.

In the sentence 'The Indian team won a great victory', what part of speech is the word 'won'?

Show answer

Verb

Step 1: Identify the word 'won' in the sentence. Step 2: Ask: what does 'won' do in this sentence? It tells us what the Indian team did – it shows their action. Step 3: A Verb is a word used to say what a person or thing does. It shows doing, being, or possessing. Step 4: 'Won' clearly shows a doing action – the team performed the action of winning. Step 5: So 'won' is a Verb. 'Noun' is wrong because 'won' is not the name of anything. 'Adjective' describes a noun. 'Adverb' describes a verb – 'won' itself is the verb, not a word describing one.

Which word in the sentence 'I gave you the news myself' is a PRONOUN?

Show answer

myself

Step 1: Recall the definition – a Pronoun is a word used in place of a noun. Step 2: In this sentence, 'I', 'you', and 'myself' are all pronouns. 'I' refers to the speaker, 'you' refers to the listener, and 'myself' also refers to the speaker. Step 3: Among the given options, only 'myself' is a pronoun. Step 4: 'News' is a Noun (name of a thing). 'Gave' is a Verb (action word). 'The' is an Article (a type of adjective). Step 5: So the correct answer is 'myself', which is a pronoun referring to the speaker.

In the sentence 'Do not go near the bull or it may hurt you', what part of speech is the word 'or'?

Show answer

Conjunction

Step 1: Look at the word 'or' in the sentence. Step 2: Ask: what job does 'or' do here? It joins two parts of the sentence – 'Do not go near the bull' and 'it may hurt you'. Step 3: A Conjunction is a word used to join words, groups of words, or sentences. Step 4: 'Or' is joining two clauses together, so it is a Conjunction. Step 5: 'Preposition' shows relationship between nouns. 'Interjection' expresses sudden feeling. 'Adverb' describes a verb. None of these match the job 'or' is doing here.
