Color Coded Grammar Introduction Parts of Speech Objective • To recognize common, proper, concrete, abstract, and collective nouns and to use them in writing • To recognize singular and plural nouns and to use them correctly in writing • To recognize compound nouns and to use them in writing. Introduction • Words in the English Language are traditionally classified into parts of speech based on meaning and usage in a sentence • The parts of speech are – nouns, verbs, adjectives, propositions, pronouns, adverbs, conjunctions, and interjections – are the main ingredients of a sentence. Introduction • Some parts of speech are essential to the structure of the sentence. • Other parts of speech are used to add interest and to extend information. • Being able to easily identify the parts or speech is an essential part of writing. Introduction • Multi-sensory Grammar uses color codes to introduce and reinforce the definitions of the parts of speech in a sentence. • Patterns of color are used to help students compose original sentences of varying lengths and complexities. Parts of Speech • Nouns (common and proper) are yellow – name people, places, things, and ideas • Pronouns are yellow – takes the place of nouns • Noun markers (a, an, the) are red – signal that a noun is coming • Verbs are orange – show action or a state of being (action, main, linking, helping) Parts of Speech • Adjectives are blue – describes nouns and pronouns • Possessive nouns are blue because they generally act as adjectives in a sentence • Prepositions are green – show location or relationship Parts of Speech • Adverbs are purple – describes adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs • Conjunctions are brown – joins phrases and clauses together • Interjections have no color – show strong emotions. Nouns • A common noun is a general name for a person, place, thing, or idea. • A proper noun is a particular name for a person, place, thing, or idea. • A concrete nouns name people, places, and things.

Nouns and Their Jobs • A subject tells whom or what a sentence is about. Nouns are often the subject of a sentence. • A complement is a word that completes the meaning of a verb. • Three kinds of complements are – predicate nouns and direct and indirect objects. Subjects and Complements • Example of nouns used as subjects. • Example of nouns used as complements.

Nouns and Their Jobs • Subject nouns are used in the nominative case. They tell who or what the sentence is about • Complements and objects of the preposition nouns are used in the objective case. They have something done to them or show relationship. Nouns and Their Jobs • Possessive nouns are used in the possessive case. They show ownership. Possessive nouns are usually adjectives in a sentence. • Proper nouns are sometimes used in the vocative case. They are the person that is spoken to in the sentence.
