_Of An_ ARTICLE.

An Article is a _Part of Speech_ put before _Nouns_ to ascertain and
fix their Vague Signification. There are three Articles, _a_, _an_, and
_the_. _A_ and _an_ are Indefinite Articles and applied to Persons or
Things indifferently; as _an Oyster_, _a Prince_. The Article _the_
distinguishes individually or particularly; as _the Oyster_, _the
Prince_.

_Of a_ NOUN.

A Noun is a _Part of Speech_ which expresses the Subject spoke of; as
_Ink_, _Paper_, _Witness._

A Noun is either _Substantive_, or _Adjective_.

A Noun _Substantive_ is the Name of a Thing considered simply in
itself, and without any Regard to it's Qualities; as _a Man_, _a
Woman_, _a Child_.

A Noun _Adjective_ is a Word added to the _Noun Substantive_,
expressing the Circumstance or Quality thereof; as _a good Man_, _an
old Woman_, _a young Child_.

_Of a_ PRONOUN.

A Pronoun is a _Part of Speech_ substituted in the Place of a _Noun_,
to avoid the frequent and disagreeable Repetition of the same Word; as
_the Bird_ is joyous, _he_ chirps, _he_ sings; which without the
_Pronoun_ wou'd be thus; _the Bird_ is joyous, _the Bird_ chirps, _the
Bird _ sings.

PRONOUNS PERSONAL.

_I_ _He_ _Myself_ _I myself_
_Me_ _Him_ _Yourself_ _You yourself_
_You_ _She_ _Thyself_ _Thou thyself_
_Thou_ _Her_ _Himself_ _He himself_
_Thee_ _One's self_ _Herself_ _She herself_

PRONOUNS RELATIVE.

_Who_, _whose_, _whom_, _what_, _which._

PRONOUNS DEMONSTRATIVE.

_This_, _that._

PRONOUNS POSSESSIVE.

_My_ _Ours_ _Your_ _Theirs_
_Mine_ _Thy_ _Yours_ _Her_
_Our_ _Thine_ _His_ _Hers_

_Of_ NUMBER.

Number expresses the Difference betwixt one Thing and many, and is
either _Singular_ or _Plural_.

When a Thing is considered as single, or a Multitude of Things
considered as united together, it is of the _Singular Number_; as _a
Man_, _a Troop_.

When several Things are considered as distinct from each other it is of
the _Plural Number_, as _Men_, _Soldiers_.

The _Plural_ is usually formed in _Noun Substantives_ by adding _s_ to
the _Singular_; as _Article Articles_, _Noun Nouns_.

But when the Pronunciation requires it, or when the _Singular_ ends in
_s_, _x_, _sh_, or _ch_, the _Plural_ is usually formed by adding the
Syllable _es_; as _Ass Asses_, _Fox Foxes_, _Sash Sashes_, _Church
Churches_.
