Parts of speech English Grade 9 Kaleena Ortiz PARTS OF SPEECH Noun Adverb Pronoun Verb Click on a part of speech to learn more about it! Adjective Preposition Conjunction Interjection How to Navigate this lesson: Action Buttons Move forward to next slide Return to main menu Quiz Four: Multiple Choice Question Return to question slide Click here for this lessons multiple choice question: Noun – A word used to name a person, place, thing, or idea. – There are two types of nouns: proper and common Proper nouns: a name used for an individual person, place, or organization. Some examples are Tuesday, June, Mary, New York Yankees Common nouns: a noun denoting a class of objects or a concept as opposed to a particular individual. Some examples are apple, house, sweater, and baseball. Pronoun – A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Examples: I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, etc. – Subject pronouns: often (but not always) found at the beginning of a sentence. More precisely, the subject of a sentence is the person or thing that lives out the verb. He and I had a fight. – Object pronouns: Object pronouns are pronouns that act as objects in sentences. Because they act as objects, they receive the action of the subject in the sentence. They come after verbs. I begged him for more time. Adjective – An adjective is any member of a class of words that modify nouns and pronouns, primarily by describing a particular quality of the word they are modifying, as wise in “A wise grandmother.,” or perfect in “A perfect score.”, or handsome in “He is extremely handsome”. How do we spot an adjective? For one thing, adjectives tell us about the nouns they qualify by answering questions like “what kind,” “which one,” and “how many”. Conjunction – A conjunction is any member of a small class of words distinguished in many languages by their function as connectors between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences, as and, because, but, however. – A coordinating conjunction is a conjunction (such as and) that joins two similarly constructed and/or syntactically equal words, phrases, or clauses within a sentence. Also called a coordinator. and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet – A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction (a connecting word or phrase) that introduces a dependent clause, joining it to a main clause. Also called a subordinator after, although, as, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order that once, provided that, rather than, since, so that, than, that, though, unless until, when, whenever, where, whereas, wherever, whether, while, why Verb – A verb is any member of a class of words that function as the main elements of predicates, that typically express action, state, or a relation between two things, and that may be inflected for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and to show agreement with their subject or object Action verbs: They express something that a person, animal, or object can do. (Ex. walk, run, jump, drink, etc.) Linking verbs: They describe or rename the subject, linking verbs do not express action but connect the subject and verb to more information. (Ex. am, is, is being, are, are being, was, was being, were, has, has been, have been, will have been, had been, are being, might have been, etc.) Helping verbs: They come before the main verb, or the verb describing the action of the sentence, help a verb to tell us exactly when something occurred in time and refine the meaning of a sentence by setting the mood or tone. (Ex. has, could, should, does, will, have, had, might, shall, did, can, must, ought to, would, might, do, am, is, are, was, where, be, being, been, etc.) Adverb – An adverb is any member of a class of words that function as modifiers of verbs or clauses, and in some cases as modifiers of adjectives, other adverbs, or adverbial phrases. They relate to what they modify by indicating place, time, manner, circumstance, degree, or cause. late, very, well, not, there, fast, quick, slow, close, deep, direct, fair, fine, hard, high, low, right, wrong, straight, tight, loud, the, just, not, when, quickly, however, no, very, tomorrow. Preposition – A preposition links nouns, pronouns, and phrases to other words in a sentence. – Prepositions are words that introduce information to the reader. This information can include where something takes place, when or why something takes place, or general descriptive information. In, on, under, over, below, between, across, etc. Interjection – An interjection is a word or words added to a sentence to express emotion. – A word or phrase that is characteristically used in syntactic isolation and that usually expresses sudden expletive. Whoa! Phew! Oh no! Wham! Boom! Quiz One – Please select the correct answer: What is the preposition in the sentence below? – Someone tapped my shoulder, so I looked behind me. A. Tapped B.
