Parts of Speech• Noun: a word used to
identify people, places, things, or ideas
Parts of Speech• Pronoun: a word that
replaces a noun. Since it REPLACES a noun, a noun must be used FIRST.
Parts of Speech • Adjective: a word that describes a noun; tells how many, what kind and which one
Parts of Speech • Verb: a word that describes an action, state of being, or helps create tense
Parts of Speech• Adverb: a word that
describes a verb or adjective; tells when, where, how, why; normally ends in -ly
Parts of Speech• Preposition: a word
(usually appearing before a noun) that shows position, location, or relationships between words
Parts of Speech • Conjunction: a word that links ideas together (FANBOYS)
