Parts of Speech Review Ms. Weiss 9th Grade Sentences Contain a subject and a verb Sentences are made up of parts of speech like articles, nouns, or adjectives, which function in different ways depending on how they are used in the sentence. The ninth grade English teacher is boring. Article, adjectives, noun, verb, adverb Identify the Noun The children ate candy. The children ate candy. What is a noun? Is it the subject of the sentence? What is the verb? The children ate candy. Is it the action of the sentence? Pronouns and modifiers You know what an adjective is, right? The short blond teacher is pretty. They describe the noun. A pronoun replaces a noun (person, place, or thing): The girls eat pie. They like it. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.: later, here, quickly, very. The teacher is very boring. Boring is an adverb describing the verb “is”, while very describes another adverb, boring. Verbals: verbs acting as other parts of speech Infinitives like: to be, to see, to understand Participles which are verbs pretending to be adjectives: The singing waiter croaks like a frog. They can also end in -ed Gerunds are verbs that act as nouns. When a verb is the subject of the sentence it is a gerund: Swimming is Serena’s favorite activity. The Direct Object Asks what or to whom the action is happening. Zippy played soccer with a grapefruit. The space alien from the planet Zortek accidentally locked his keys in his space ship.
