Parts of speech
Parts of speech tell you what a word does in a sentence. There are five main parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, and adverb.
Noun:
A noun names a person, thing, place, or an idea. It is the subject or object of a sentence. In the following sentence, the words “sister” (subject) and “zoo” (object) are nouns.
My sister went to the zoo.
Pronoun:
A pronoun takes place of a noun. It can be singular (I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it) or plural (we, us, you, they, them). It is the subject or object of a sentence. The second sentence below takes place of the noun in the first sentence.
Mark went to the zoo. He liked it.
Verb:
A verb shows action in a sentence. It tells what the noun does. In the following sentence, the verb tells about the noun’s action.
Mark went to the zoo.
Adjective:
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. It tells about how many or what kind of something. In the following sentence, the word “dark” describes the noun “door.”
Mark went to the zoo through the dark door.
Adverb:
An adverb is a word that describes a verb. It tells about how, when, or where. Many adverbs end in –ly (and tell about how). In the following sentence, the three adverbs tell how, where, and when Mark goes.
