Determiners were included under adjectives in traditional grammar, however, in modern grammar, determiners are a separate word class, not part of the classic eight parts of speech, but equally important. There are seven types of determiners in the English Language. In older or school-level grammar, determiners (like the, a, this, some, every) were grouped under adjectives because they come before nouns and modify them.

Following are the tips to quickly identify the part of speech of a word:

  • Words ending in -ly are often adverbs such as quickly, commonly, absolutely, etc.
  • If a word can be replaced and the sentence still makes sense, it's likely a pronoun.
  • If adding “do” can make sense around it, it's likely a verb.
  • Removing a word without breaking the sentence generally means it's an adjective.

Yes, one word in English can belogn to more than one part of speech. A single word can function as more than one part of speech, depending on how it's used in a sentence.

For example:

  • I run every morning. (Verb)
  • I went for a run. (Noun)

 

  • I will work late today. (Verb)
  • I am on my way to work. (Noun)
