Part of Speech

noun, verb, pronoun,

adjective, adverb,

preposition, conjunction,

and interjection.

In this sentence, "books" is a

noun, the subject of the sentence.

Books are made of ink, paper, and glue.

14

Here "books" is a verb, and its

subject is "Bridget."

Deborah waits patiently while Bridget

books the tickets.

We walk down the street.

In this sentence, "walk" is a verb,

and its subject is the pronoun "we."

The mail carrier stood on the walk.

In this example, "walk" is a noun,

which is part of a prepositional

phrase describing where the mail

carrier stood.

The town decided to build a new jail.

Here "jail" is a noun, which is the

object of the infinitive phrase "to

build."

The sheriff told us that if we did not

leave town immediately he would jail us.

Here "jail" is part of the compound

verb "would jail."

They heard high pitched cries in the

middle of the night.

In this sentence"cries" is a noun

acting as the direct object of the verb

"heard."

The baby cries all night long and all

day long.

But here "cries" is a verb that

describes the actions of the subject

of the sentence, the baby.

Every name is called a noun,

As field and fountain, street and town;

In place of noun the pronoun stands

As he and she can clap their hands;

The adjective describes a thing,

As magic wand and bridal ring;

The verb means action, something done.

To read, to write, to jump, to run;

How things are done, the adverbs tell,

As quickly, slowly, badly, well;

The preposition shows relation,

As in the street, or at the station;

Conjunctions join, in many ways,

Sentences, words, or phrase and

phrase;

The interjection cries out, 'Hark!

I need an exclamation mark!'
