Part of Speech

1. Noun: Name of a person, place or thing.


 Put ‘a’ or ‘the’ in front of common nouns and they will make sense.
2. Adjective: Describes a noun.
 Put a noun after it and it will make sense.
3. Verb: Something that is ‘done’ by something or someone.
 Put a noun or a pronoun in front of it to see if it can be ‘done’ by something or
someone.
 See if it can change tense.
 Look for common verb endings like ‘ed’ and ‘ing’.
4. Adverb: Describes how, when or where a verb is done.
 Often ends in ‘ly’
 It will probably answer the question how, when or where about the verb in the
sentence.
5. Pronoun: Word used instead of a noun.
 Put a noun in its place and it will make sense.
6. Conjunction: Joins sentences or parts of sentences together.
 Check if it is joining two or more pieces of information together.
7. Preposition: Words that link two nouns in a sentence and answer the question where
or when.
 Check if these words answer the question where or when and check there are two
nouns being linked.
8. Determiner: Give extra information about nouns and tell us if they are specific or
general, how many there are, how much there are or which ones they are.
 Check if these words answer the question where or when and check there are two
nouns being linked
