Hello everyone, today in part three of this series on parts of speech in the English language. Let's take a look at the last three parts of speech: what they are and how they are used. Once again, for the sake of simplicity I've included the definitions for these parts of speech below.

Enjoy. みなさん、こんにちは。今日は品詞シリーズの第３です。今までの品詞を見ていきましょう: なんなのか、そして使い方。シンプルにするために、この三つの品詞の意味を下に書きました。そして最後に、自分の理解力を試すためにいくつかの質問を準備しました。
