Parts of speech

Parts of speech (PoS) are the building blocks of language. They help us understand how words function within sentences and convey meaning.

By highlighting different parts of speech, you can focus on specific aspects of the text, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and more.

  • Adjectives: words that describe or modify nouns.
    cat, dog, house.
  • Adverbs: words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
    very, briefly, soon.
  • Conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating): words that connect clauses or sentences.
    and, but, if, while.
  • Nouns: words that name people, places, things, or ideas.
    cat, dog, house.
  • Proper Nouns: specific names of people, places, or organizations.
    John, Paris, IWL.
  • Pronouns: words that replace nouns in a sentence.
    he, she, it, them.
  • Numerals: words that represent numbers.
    one, 42.
  • Verbs: words that express actions or states of being.
    run, eat, sleep.

Note that although IWL uses an advanced natural language processing (NLP) model, it may not always accurately determine parts of speech due to the complexity and nuances of language.

Clichés

Clichés are expressions that have become overused and lack originality. They can make writing feel stale and uninteresting.

By highlighting clichés, you can identify areas where your writing may benefit from more creative and unique expressions.

Examples of clichés:

  • at the end of the day
  • think outside the box
  • bite the bullet
Filler words

Filler words are words that do not add value to your writing. Not all filler words are bad, but some can make your writing feel cluttered.

By highlighting filler words, you can identify areas where your writing may benefit from more concise and direct language.

Examples of filler words:

  • very
  • really
  • just
Redundancies

Redundancies are phrases that repeat the same idea or information unnecessarily. They can make writing feel repetitive and less engaging.

By highlighting redundancies, you can identify areas where your writing can be tighter and clearer.
