Another important skill is identifying the parts of speech of a sentence or passage.

What is the function of the term? Is it a verb? Is it a conjugation? Is it a preposition?

There are nine parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, interjections, and articles.

Understanding the combination of parts of speech that make up a sentence will most certainly help you understand what the author is saying.

For those who desire more, consider a deeper Bible study by examining the parts of speech in the Hebrew or Greek text, which the Bible translation is based on, to understand the subtle nuances of the author.
