The Eight Parts of
Speech
Kids today can name eight rock
groups, eight TV shows or eight brands of candy one heck of a lot faster than
they can come up with the eight parts of speech. Find ways to work with them so
that the fundamentals of our language will become second nature, and make the
writing process a little less mysterious and a little more systematic.
Here they are:
Noun
Verb
Pronoun
Adjective
Adverb
Preposition
Conjunction
Interjection
A student should be able to define each
one, list a few examples, and use one in a sentence.
Here's a quick test:
