Parts of speech

From wikipedia

Category of words that have similar grammatical properties. Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar syntactic behavior, sometimes similar morphology in that they undergo inflection for similar properties and even similar semantic behavior.
Commonly listed English parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, interjection, numeral, article, or determiner.

Part of speech (PoS) should not be confused with noun classes (a.k.a grammatical gender).
