Parts of Speech

The word 'both' modifies 'want' as a subject pronoun referring to the speakers. When 'both' is used with a verb and no following noun, it functions as a pronoun meaning 'the two of us.' It replaces the specific nouns it refers to.

The word 'Both' stands alone as the subject referring to two people/things. In 'Both of them,' 'Both' functions as a pronoun meaning 'the two.' The structure 'Both of [pronoun]' is a standard pronoun construction.

In this sentence, 'but' functions as a preposition meaning 'except.' When used with a personal pronoun after it, the preposition 'but' takes the objective case, so 'he' is actually incorrect (it should be 'him'), but the part of speech identification is correct. The word connects the subject 'No one' with the pronoun 'he' and indicates exclusion.

In 'I have no intention but to help you,' the word 'but' functions as a conjunction that can be understood as 'that not.' It introduces the subordinate clause 'to help you' and connects it to the main clause. This is a specialized usage of 'but' as a conjunction meaning 'except that.'

In 'go and lie down,' the word 'down' is an adverb that modifies the verb 'lie.' It indicates direction or position (moving to a lower position or horizontal state). Adverbs often modify verbs to show how, where, or when an action happens.

In 'She sat down,' the word 'down' is an adverb modifying the verb 'sat.' It indicates the direction of the action (moving to a seated position on the ground or a lower surface). This is a common use of directional adverbs with verbs of motion or position.

In 'The price of rice has gone down,' the word 'down' is an adverb modifying the verb phrase 'has gone.' It indicates a decrease in the price. Here, 'down' is used in an abstract sense to mean 'to a lower level' rather than physical direction.

In 'Take down what I say,' 'down' is part of the phrasal verb 'take down' and functions as an adverb. The phrase means to write down or record what someone says. In phrasal verbs, the particle (here, 'down') modifies the main verb to create a specific meaning.

In 'Do as I do,' the word 'as' is a conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause ('I do'). It shows comparison or manner, connecting the imperative clause 'Do' with the explanatory clause. The 'as...as' construction is commonly used for comparisons.
