ADJECTIVE: Describes a noun or pronoun; tells which one, what kind or how many. ADVERB: Describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs; tells how, why, when, where, to what extent.

Direct and indirect objects (nouns or pronouns) usually follow the verb. If a noun is used as the subject of the verb it will be placed at the beginning of the sentence. If it is used as the object of a verb then it can only be placed after the verb. All four sentences are grammatically correct.

Before is a preposition, an adverb and a conjunction.

An inverted sentence is a sentence in a normally subject-first language in which the predicate (verb) comes before the subject (noun).

Of is a preposition that indicates relationships between other words, such as belonging, things made of other things, things that contain other things, or a point of reckoning. Off is usually used as an adverb or a preposition.

As detailed above, ‘last’ can be an adverb, an adjective, a verb or a noun. Adverb usage: last but not least. Adjective usage: The last person I want to meet is Helen.

There’s also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.
