Traditionally, the 8 parts of speech include a common 7 : the noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, conjunction, and preposition. Various groups list the 8th part of speech as either the article (a, an, the) or the interjection (hey!).

Another candidate for a separate 9th part of speech is the "verbal."

This is often the gerund (noun) form, ending in -ing. Verbals can be used as adjectives, for example: eating machine, teaching genius, giving person.
