Grammar makes up all the words and structures in a sentence. What are the parts of speech? The parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. What is a noun? A noun is used to name a person, place, thing, quality or idea. A few examples of each are Bill, Detroit, car, beauty and justice. What is a pronoun? A pronoun is used in the place of a noun or phrase. There are many types of pronouns: personal, relative, interrogative, reflexive, intensive, demonstrative and indefinite. Personal pronouns are used to refer to specific nouns. Example: I, me, you, they, he, it, and us. Relative pronouns introduce dependent clauses. Examples: who, whom, that, which, what and whose. Interrogative pronouns introduce a question. Examples: who, whose, whom, what and which. Reflexive and intensive pronouns deal with the self. Such as: myself, herself, yourselves and themselves. The difference between them is that reflexive nouns name the receiver of an action and intensive pronouns emphasize a noun. Demonstrative pronouns show which nouns perform or receive the action. Examples: this, these, that and those. Indefinite pronouns are used to show an unspecific number of nouns. Examples: all, few, many, none, other, something, anyone and neither. What is a verb? A verb is used to show an action or a state of being. Examples: jump, run, cook and drive. There are three types of verbs. What are the three types of verbs? The three types of verbs are regular, irregular and linking. Regular verbs end in –ed or –d. Irregular verbs change forms, such as how write changes to wrote. Linking verbs express a state of being, such as shows or appears. What is an adjective? An adjective is used to describe or specify a noun or pronoun. Examples: green, big, that. What is an adverb? An adverb is used to modify a verb, adjective and other adverbs. They show when, where, why and how. Examples: quickly, never, often, almost. What is a preposition? A preposition is a word that is used with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that shows where, when, how and why. They are commonly used to elaborate on the subject of a sentence. Examples: about, above, by, except, in, into, on, off, to, toward. What is a conjunction? A conjunction is used to connect words and phrases to show order and ideas. Examples: and, but, or, nor, for, so and yet. What is an interjection? An interjection is used to show surprise or emotion. They are usually short phrases such as “Oh no!” or “Yikes!” Quick Quiz I Tell what part of speech needs to go in each blank space: noun, verb, adjective, conjunction, or adverb. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
