Parts of Speech Guided Notes 1. A NOUN is a word that names a PERSON, PLACE, THING, or IDEA. Examples: Person Place Thing Idea MOTHER HOME MONEY FREEDOM TEACHER SCHOOL IPOD HOPE OFFICER BUS FAIRNESS MALL Nouns can be COMMON or PROPER. Proper nouns are ALWAYS spelled with a CAPITAL LETTER. Nouns often function as the SUBJECT (that does the action) of a sentence. Sample: My DOG ate two DISHES of food for LUNCH. 2. A VERB shows ACTION or state-of-being (LINKING verb). Verbs are the ACTION that the SUBJECT does. Examples: Action JUMP SING LEARN WANT Linking WAS IS CAN BE Sample: The new students ATE/HAD lunch in silence. 3. PRONOUNS take the PLACE of NOUNS. Pronouns can also function as a sentence’s SUBJECT. Examples: Nouns Pronouns Replace BRUSH with IT. Replace POST OFFICE with THERE. Replace GIRLS with THEM. Sample: SHE wanted to ride the bus with US. 4. ADJECTIVES describe or modify NOUNS. Examples: How Many Feel Sight ONE SOFT UGLY SEVEN FLUFFY GREEN MILLION HOT TALL Taste SALTY SOUR BITTER Age YOUNG NEW OLD 5. ADVERBS modify VERBS, ADJECTIVES, or other ADVERBS. Adverbs often END with the letters -LY and answer the questions WHERE and/or HOW. Examples: The baby slept QUIETLY. We QUICKLY moved to the auditorium after the announcement. The sanctuary of the church was DEATHLY quiet. Her new car is SO fine. 6. PREPOSITIONS are words that show a RELATIONSHIP between words. REMEMBER: A PREPOSITION is anything a SQUIRREL can do to a TREE. Examples: ABOVE AROUND THROUGH INTO IN BESIDE OVER BELOW FROM UNDER BY TO 7. CONJUNCTIONS are words that CONNECT other words. The most commonly used conjunctions are called COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS. REMEMBER: FOR AND NOR BUT OR YET SO FANBOYS!! Sample: I wanted to go outside, BUT the sun was too hot. 8. INTERJECTIONS are words that show INTENSE FEELING and are often used at the BEGINNING of SENTENCES. Examples: OH! OW! OUCH! WOW! Sample: OUCH, that bee stung me! NO! HEY!
