 Nouns are persons, places, or things. 'Cousins' are the children of your aunt or uncle. 

Pronouns take the place of nouns and include me, they, us, we, his, her, etc.  

Adjectives describe people, places or things (nouns) are always placed directly before the noun. 

'Play' is a verb that describes an action. It's possible to use more than one verb in a sentence by using 'and'. In this case, 'are going to' is the helping verb and 'play' is the main verb. 

 Adjectives are placed before the nouns they describe. 

Prepositions show relationships and include words like at, between, through, in, on, etc. 'Beyond' means 'further than'. 

'His' can be used as a possessive adjective. Possessive adjectives are placed before a noun and state who or what something belongs to. 

Adverbs state how, where, when and in which manner something is done. Adverbs modify verbs and often - but not always - end in 'ly'. 

A verb tells us what is done. 

'Huge' is an adjective that is synonymous with 'big', or 'large'. 

Nouns are often the objects of prepositional phrases . In this case, 'neighborhood' is the object of the prepositional phrase 'in my ...' 

Conjunctions connect words and include and, but, or, so, etc. 

 Prepositions show relationships. In this case 'from' tells us where the person comes from. 

 National adjectives should always be capitalized because they represent a specific country, in this case Italy. 

 Prepositions shows the between nous. 'For' can be used as a time word to indicate how long. 

 'Nobody' is a pronoun which means 'no person'. 

Prepositions show physical relationships between places. 

Countries, continents, states and cities are names of places and therefore nouns. 

'Quietly' modifies the verb 'speak' to tell us how the person spoke. Words that modify verbs are adverbs. 

Interjections are words we use to show surprise and include 'wow', 'hey', 'ooh!', etc. 

Congratulations! You know your parts of speech very well. That will help you as you continue to learn English. 

Good job! You've identified most parts of speech in this exercise. You'll need to keep working to identify all of them, but you've made a great start. 

 You'll have to continue to study basic parts of speech. It's difficult to learn, but knowing parts of speech will help you learn English more quickly.

Interjections show excitement or emotion and are not connected to the rest of the sentence. Wow is showing amazement or surprise at the score someone has got.

Prepositions show the relationship between nouns or pronouns and other words or elements in the sentence. In this case it is the relationship between the baby and where it crawled to.

Adverbs modify verbs, nouns, and other adverbs. This is modifying the verb packed.

This is an adjective again and it is describing the noun time.

Verbs show actions or states of being. There is no subject in this sentence as it is a command / instruction, so the first word is the verb.

Conjunctions join two or more words, phrases, or clauses together. This subordinating conjunction is joining two clauses.

Pronouns replace nouns. We is replacing the people the speaker is referring to.

A noun specifies people, places, things, or ideas. This noun is a thing, music.

Parts of Speech Quiz

Some words are more than one part of speech. For example, cook is both a verb and a noun.

Noun: The cook is busy in the kitchen. Verb: I don't want to cook , let's go to a restaurant instead.

A verb is a word that describes an action, state or occurrence. He are some basic forms of  the verb walk.

She walks to work. – present simple tense (3rd person singular) She walked to work. – past simple tense She is walking to walk. – present continuous /gerund (-ing) She has walked to work. – present perfect She had worked to work. – past perfect

Nouns are words that are used to identify things, people and places.

He is a teacher . She lives in London . Did you see that boat ? Love is all you need.

The Pronoun

Pronouns are used to replace nouns.

Tom's mother gave him some money. He took it to the shop and bought some sweets. –  Tom is the noun. He is the pronoun which replaces Tom.

Don't tell me what to do. Where are you going? She is tall. It is in my car. Is this yours ? This is confusing! Who wrote this? Invite whomever you want. I will try and remind myself .

The Adjective

A word that gives us more information about a noun.

The green book. She's young . It's colder than I remember. – Comparative form He's the richest man in the world – Superlative form

A word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb.

She quickly changed her clothes. I really don’t understand. She called me yesterday . We sometimes go fishing.

The Preposition

Prepositions show us the relationship between a noun and another word in a sentence.

We lived in France. Your keys are on the table. We walked through the park.

The Conjunction

Conjunctions are used to join parts of sentences/ clauses together.

I had a shower and a shave. Let me know when you are ready to leave. We went to the beach because she loves swimming. Although we were tired, we stayed up late. I don't have much time, but I will help you anyway.

The Interjection

We use interjections to show strong emotions and feelings that occur suddenly.

Hey ! You are standing on my foot! Ah , now I understand. Eh ? What did she say? Ow ! That hurt!

Take a look at these sentences and  decide which is the correct form to use.

• 1) Today was a very ___ day. coldly colder cold
