General Illustration of The Parts of Speech :


Let’s illustrate that speech is a huge building. We shall ask our selves, of what is this building made up?

The answer will be. It is made up of bricks, iron materials, wooden materials, sand and cement...etc.

If we also ask, of what is the bricks made?

The answer will be. It is made of sand, cement and water...etc.

So I’m sorry to say that some of us say that word is the first brick in the part of speech, but I’m dead against this say. Because the first brick is the letter a word can not be existed without letters.
