Parts of Speech Poem
A noun is a name
word
Like girl, street,
or swing.
A noun names a
person, place, or thing.
Pronouns are used
in place of a noun
I, you, its, us,
them are some to be found.
A verb shows an
action
Like walk, run,
eat, swim;
Verbs can be
helpers
Like am, was, has
been
Adverbs can modify
Adjectives, other
adverbs, or verbs.
Most adverbs end
in l-y,
Like one who
loudly disturbs
Prepositions are
not found alone,
But with nouns or
pronouns
Like to town or
with Joan
Adjectives describe
nouns,
They’re words like
big, strong, and tall.
If we didn’t use
adjectives
We’d know nothing
at all.
Conjunctions are
connectors like
Neither so either,
not only, and nor
But, also,
whether, both, for, yet, or.
Interjections show
strong feelings
Like Hoorah! And
Hooray!
The eight parts of
speech I know all the way!
