Wednesday, Sept. 9 Parts of Speech--Eggplant, Purple, Lumpily

View Standard Deviants video on parts of speech. Take notes.

Eights parts of speech

Noun: a person, place, thing or idea (chicken, dancehall, ocean, belief)
Pronoun: replaces a noun (he, she, it, her, them, who, which)
Adjective: describes a noun or Pronoun (lovely, tattered, obese, violet)
Verb: an action word (ransack, stir, rejuvenate, are)
Adverb: modifies or describes an adjective, verb, or other adverb (gladly, helpfully, subtly, slowly)
Preposition: links nouns and pronouns to phrases (over, under, in, near)
Conjunction: links lists, phrases, and clauses (and, but, or, when)
Interjection: conveys emotion (wow, what, ouch, man)

Writing practice:
Write four sentences in which you use all eight parts of speech. The catch? You can't use any part of speech more than once in each sentence.

Post your sentences as comments.

  15. Hey, carefully look for red and blue strawberries over you.

    Is 'for' a preposition? If so, you don't need 'and blue' in the sentence because 'and' doesn't need to be used as the preposition.
