There are
some certain terminologies in english vocabulary that must be known by english
reader and vocabulary learner.
1.Noun: - Noun is the form of Latin nomen means name. Noun
is the name of person, a place, a thing or an idea. All the things that have
physical body around us are noun.
Keyboard , Book, Plant , Tree, Grandfather, Mother , Nurse ,
Doctor, River, Mountain, Computer, Pen, Pencil and many such other things.
2. Verb: - A verb is word that attests to its
importance. Verb is the form of Latin verbum means word.
Verbs are word that is
attested with some action, state and occurrence.
Action:- Walk, Play, Eat
State:- Look like, Has, Have, is , am
Occurrence:- Gaunt , Gleam , shine
3. Transitive and Intransitive verb : - Transitive
verbs are those action verbs that have an object to receive that action.
I moved the chair. Here chair is the object and move is
action verb.
Intransitive verbs are those action verbs that do not have
an object receiving the action.
I laughed.
I kick. Here is no object, on which action could be applied.
4. Adjective:- An adjective which modifies a noun or a
pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually
precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies.
An adjective comes from the Latin word ject means thrown and ad means toward a noun.
Red house, big hall, black and tall man,
italic words are adjective.
5. Adverb:-
Similarly like adjective, Adverb is also like thrown but for verb.
A word that adds more informatin about place, time, manner,
cause or degree to a verb, an adjective, a phrase or another adverb.
speak kindly, incredibly deep, too quickly italic words are adverb.
6. Colloquial:- Colloquial language is casual and
conversational: it's the difference between "What are you going to
do?" and "Whatchagonnado?
The word colloquial
comes from the Latin word colloquium, which means "speaking together."
The roots are the prefix com-, which
means "together," and the suffix -loqu, which means
"speak." Some may think that colloquial language is not good,
when in fact it may just not be appropriate for the context. While it is OK to
be colloquial and chatty with friends, it is not acceptable to be colloquial in
an essay for school or work.

7. Slang: - Slang words are very informal and
expressions that are more common in spoken language, especially used by a
particular group of people such as some special words are used among children, criminals,
soldiers. Clever and Naughty were both formerly slang words that are now
accepted as standard now.
Guy, Hey buddy are teenage slang.
Slang refers to a
type of language that's too informal to use in certain situations. You can tell
a word is slang when it becomes uncool to use after a year or so, like rad or
far out.
Often, slang terms are considered vulgar or offensive to use
in polite conversation. However, over time, many slang expressions have become
part of our standard vocabulary, as they are more commonly used. As a noun,
slang can also mean "the characteristic language of a particular group of
people" like a slang used by computer programmers.
