Indefinite pronouns

Pronouns that refer to non-specific things (e.g., all, any, each, everyone).

Reciprocal pronouns

Pronouns that express mutual relationships (e.g., each other, one another).

Linking verbs

Verbs that connect the subject of a sentence to a noun or pronoun.

Definite nouns

Nouns preceded by 'the' that indicate a specific person, place, thing, or idea.

Indefinite nouns

Nouns preceded by 'a' or 'an' that do not indicate a specific person, place, thing, or idea.

Coordinating conjunctions

Conjunctions that connect words or groups of words (e.g., and, but, yet, or, nor, for, so).

Correlative conjunction

Pairs of conjunctions that work together (e.g., either… or, neither… nor, not only… but also).
