For a learner, part of speech is a bucket, not a linguistic analysis. The classic “parts of speech” set is the natural fit, and it lands on a clean 10, discounting ‘particle’.
┌─────┬─────────────────────────────────────┬────────┐ │ # │ category │ tag │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 1 │ noun │ n │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 2 │ verb (incl. modal/aux/linking) │ v │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 3 │ adjective │ adj │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 4 │ adverb │ adv │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 5 │ pronoun │ n-p │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 6 │ preposition (incl. infinitive "to") │ prep │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 7 │ conjunction │ conj │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 8 │ determiner (incl. articles) │ det │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 9 │ number (incl. ordinal) │ num │ ├─────┼─────────────────────────────────────┼────────┤ │ 10 │ interjection (exclamation) │ interj │ └─────┴─────────────────────────────────────┴────────┘
This is just the traditional eight parts of speech + det + num. The big four (n/v/adj/adv) soak up ~95% of the language, and everything exotic collapses into a bucket. Meaning, jump can be a noun or a verb; but we do not care what kind of noun or verb it is, only which one it is.
