1) which explains different part sof speech clearly
2)Helps me identify it in a sentence

It sounds like you could use a grammar text. I'd recommend going to your nearest bookstore or library. Browse the grammar books (not GMAT, just English grammar) until you find a book that makes sense to you - clear explanations, easy to understand language, etc. I personally like the Demystified series of books (Grammar Demystified, Algebra Demystified, etc), but with something like grammar, it's important for you to make sure that the explanations are very clear and make sense to you. So go look at some books until you find one that you like.
