DIRECTIONS: Read and Reflect on the poem below about English Grammar.
The Parts of Speech
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 or bridal ring.
Most verbs mean action, something done,
To read and write, to jump and 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, "Heed!
An exclamation point must Follow me!"
Through poetry we learn how each
of these make up THE PARTS OF SPEECH.
