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.
The VERB means action, something done,
To read and write, to jump and run.
How things are done the ADVERB tell,
As quickly, slowly, badly, well;
The PREPOSITION shows relation,
 As in street or at the station.
CONJUNCTIONS join in many ways,
Sentences, words or phrase and phrase.
The INTERJECTION cries out, Hark!
I need an exclamation mark.
