In traditional grammar, the parts of speech are the categories of words that are used to make up sentences. 


The main parts of speech include: 

Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Pronouns, Prepositions, Conjunctions, Interjections, Helping verbs/auxiliary verbs and Modal verbs.

Each part of speech plays a specific role in the sentence, and is used to express different types of information. For example: 

Nouns are used to name people, places, and things; like, Badshahi Masjid, Ali , Lahore, Lahore museum, Pakistan etc.
