Noun
A noun names a person, a place, a thing, or an idea. For example: Person (Jacob,
girl, teacher, Mrs. Ridwan)
Place (Georgia, school, Atlanta)
Thing (computer, tree, elephant)
Idea (happiness, anger, responsibility)
Noun
A verb is often defined as a word which shows action or state of being.
The verb is the heart of a sentence - every sentence must have a verb.
The second part of this definition is important, as many believe that verbs are
always action words that can be visualized. This is true of action verbs: run,
walk, play, jump, sing, scream, etc.
However, there are also linking verbs, and these types of verbs do not express
action; instead, they express identity, classification, or existence. (The following
are the most common linking verbs: is, am, was, were, are, and verb phrases
ending in be, been, being.)
Adjective
An adjective is a word that describes a person or thing.

Examples:
Big, pretty, expensive, green, round, French, loud, quick, fat.

Example sentences:
He has big blue eyes.
The new car broke down.
The old lady was talking in a quiet voice.
Adjective
Adverb
An adverb is a word that describes or gives more information about a verb, an
adjective, another adverb, or even an entire sentence.

Examples:

yesterday quickly really heavily fast sometimes

hard suddenly today too never very

Adverb
Pronouns
A pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun. For example, you could say,
"Lisa is a nice girl."
Then you could replace the noun "Lisa" with the word "She" and get the
following sentence: "She is a nice girl."
"She" is a pronoun.

Examples:
I, he, it, we, them, us, mine, itself.

Example sentences:
He doesn't want go with them.
Would they help us?
Pronouns
Preposition
A preposition is a word that is used before a noun or a pronoun to connect it to another word in
the sentence. It is usually used to show location, direction, time, and so forth.

Examples:
On, in, at, by, under, above, beside, to, out, from, for.

Example sentences:
I sat on the floor.
Let's go into the house.
We will meet at four o'clock.
Have a look under the couch.
Conjunction
A conjunction is a word that joins parts of a sentence together.

Examples:
And, but, or, because, so.

Example sentences:
I want to come, but I can't.
She is smart and beautiful.
Would you like a cat or a dog?
He didn't pass the test because he didn't understand the subject.
We were hungry, so we ordered pizza.
Interjection
An interjection is a short sound, word or phrase used to express the speaker's
emotion.

Examples:
Oh! Look out! Ow! Hey! Wow! Ah! Um...

Example sentences:
Wow, that's amazing!
Ah, that was a good meal.
Um... I'm not sure what to say.
Article
English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used
to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite
article.
the = definite article
a/an = indefinite article
For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I mean
any book rather than a specific book.
Here's another way to explain it: The is used to refer to a specific or particular member of a group. For
example, "I just saw the most popular movie of the year." There are many movies, but only one
particular movie is the most popular. Therefore, we use the.
"A/an" is used to refer to a non-specific or non-particular member of the group. For example, "I would
like to go see a movie." Here, we're not talking about a specific movie. We're talking about any movie.
There are many movies, and I want to see any movie. I don't have a specific one in mind.

Renowned international institutions such as Moody's Investors Service and Morgan Stanley have
released positive feedback concerning Indonesia's tax amnesty program. Moody's stated that the
tax amnesty program are credit positive on Indonesia as the program is part of the government's
reform strategies that aim at boosting revenue tax. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley stated that asset
repatriation could amount to approximate four percent of GDP, assuming a overseas asset base
of USD $200 billion, assuming that 60 percent of these assets is declared, and assuming that 30
percent of the declared assets are repatriated into Indonesia.

leaders at the 1940’s when Indonesia independence. But since then they has
been an unending logistical nightmare. The world’s second-largest metropolitan
region is sink up to 18 centimeters per year. Its road coverage are much low than
that of other big cities, creating an near-permanent traffic jam. The "price" of
this congestion has been estimated to $11 billion by the Jakarta Transportation
