The Parts of Speech
Every name is called a noun,
as field, fountain, street, and town.
In place of the noun the pronoun stands,
as he and she can clap their hands.
The adjective describes a thing,
as magic wand or gold ring.
The verb means action, something done,
to speak and listen, to jump and run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
as happily, sadly, quickly, slowly, badly,
well.
The preposition shows relation,
as in the present or at the station.
Conjunctions join, in many ways,
sentences,clauses,words, or phrase and phrase.
Punctuation does either,
to make the sentence’s meaning clearer.
The interjection cries out, “Hark!
I need an exclamation mark!”
