  • The underlined word 'with' is a preposition which makes the relation of fear with the verb in the sentence.
  • As we have to identify which part of speech the word belongs to, we need to know the significance of parts of speech.
  • Parts of speech:
    • A category to which a word is assigned in accordance with its syntactic functions.
    • In English, the main parts of speech are noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection.

Noun Naming people, places, things, feelings etc. Dolly presented me with a new dress. It is her love for me.
