Here are some adjectives:

fast

This is an adverb and an example of its use:

Here is a preposition:

Finally, some grammar notes:

 

English sometimes uses an impersonal sentence if the subject is not very important. Compare the following sentences.

 

There is one person here. = One person is here.

 

ここにはひとり人がいます。
