New words
часть речи (part of speech) · часть речи (so‘z turkumi)числительное (numeral) · числительное (son)существительное (noun) · существительное (ot)наречие (adverb) · наречие (ravish)
Explanation

Words with the same root can belong to different parts of speech. In «три книги» the word «три» is a numeral («сколько?»), «тройка» is a noun («что?»), «тройной» is an adjective («какой?»), «трижды» is an adverb («сколько раз?»). So the part of speech is decided by the question and the function in the sentence. In revision check the noun (gender, declension), the adjective (full and short form, degrees), the numeral (agreement with nouns) and the pronoun (declension, spelling). Numerals and the pronoun «себя» also occur in set expressions: «семь раз отмерь — один раз отрежь», «выйти из себя».

Worked examples
«Три» (numeral), «тройка» (noun), «тройной» (adjective), «трижды» (adverb).
«Взять себя в руки» means to pull oneself together; «себя» is a reflexive pronoun.
