Parts of Speech Poemby Kim Vetter

A nouns the name of anything, As house or garden, hoop, or swing. Instead of nouns the pronouns stand- Her head, your face, his arm, my hand. Adjectives tell the kind of noun,

As great, small, pretty, white, or brown. Verbs tell of something to be done- To read, count, sing, talk, laugh, or run. How things are done the adverbs tell, As slowly, quickly, ill, or well.

Poem Continued

Conjunctions join the words together, As men and women,wind or weather.

The preposition stands before A noun, as in or through a door. The interjection shows surprise, As Oh! How Pretty; Ah! How wise.

Thats why we learn the parts of speechWhich reading, writing, speaking teach. Cause grammar needs to be correct To help you earn the worlds respect.
