Parts of speech are indicated by italicized abbreviations:
adj. (adjective), adv.(adverb), conj. (conjunction), n. (noun), pn. (pronoun), pr. (preposition), vi. (intransitive
verb), and vt. (transitive verb). To review a little grammar very briefly, a noun
is a person, place, or thing.
An adjective modifies a noun. For example, a pretty girl
gets more attention than a plain girl.
In the preceding sentence, both pretty and plain are adjectives modifying two separate occurrences of the noun, girl.
A verb is an action word.
If the verb is transitive, it carries the action to an object.
Consider the following sentence: Peter ate a grape.
In that sentence, the grape receives the action of the transitive verb, to eat (past tense, ate).
The verb, to eat, can also be intransitive, if nothing is receiving the action.
For example, when I go to dinner, I eat.
An adverb modifies a verb, another adverb, or an adjective.
Look at the following sentence: The boat moved quickly.
Quickly is an adverb modifying the verb, moved.

Is There Any Reasons For Love
Love does not need a reason...
Are u agree??
Read this and leave a comment if u're agree or not...^_^
Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?
Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..
Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can
you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove
that I love you.
Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason.
My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her
but not you!
Man: Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful,
because your voice is sweet,
because you are caring, because you are loving,
because you are thoughtful, because of your smile,
because of your every movements..
Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with
an accident and became comma.
The Guy then placed a letter by her side,
and here is the content:
Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love you...
Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.
Because of your care and concern that I like you..
Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love
you.
Because of your smile,
because of your every movements that I love you..
Now can you smile? Now can you move?
No, therefore I cannot love you...
If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason
for me to love you anymore.
Do love need a reason? NO!
Therefore, I still love you...
And love doesn't need a reason
