Parts of Speech A Quick Review of Grammar! How many parts of speech are there? 9 • • • • • • • • • Noun Pronoun Verb Adjective Adverb Conjunction Interjection Preposition Article Noun • A noun is a person, place, or thing E.g. Ms. Sinclair went to Toronto to buy bagels. Pronoun • A word that takes the place of a noun (I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, they, etc.) E.g. Joe saw Jill, he waved at her. Verb • A word used to describe an action E.g. The cake tastes delicious OR I’m having breakfast Adjective A describing word *Meant to create a better mental picture, they tell: how many, which one, what kind E.g. Mr. Henderson’s oldest son goes to college. Adverb • A word used to describe verbs (Less, more, very, now, then, there, up, down, certainly, however, etc.) *Adverbs usually answer the questions: how? When? Where? To what extent? And many adverbs are formed by adding –ly to an adjective (e.g. Quickly) E.g. He walked to the car very slowly. Conjunction • Conjunctions join two parts of a sentence and help to show the connection between the two parts of the sentence (and, but, because, so, when, etc.) E.g. We went home and went straight to bed. Interjection • An abrupt remark; an exclamation (ah!, Dear me! Oh no! Yes! Awesome!) E.g. Ouch! Preposition • A word or phrase that connects a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence (against, about, above, along, among, between, except, over, through, to, toward, of, etc.) • E.g. They drove toward the shoreline. Article • A word that defines a noun as specific or unspecific (i.e. A, An, The) E.g. The dog ran into the road. OR A cat was lost on Saturday.
