Subject: RE: BS: poem to help remember parts of speech?
Here's another poem on parts of speech:



A NOUN is the name of anything
Like HOOP or BUCKET, SOUP or STRING.

ADJECTIVES tell about the noun
Like BIG or LITTLE, PINK or BROWN.

VERBS tell of something to be done
To JUMP, to SING, to PUSH or RUN.

Instead of nouns the PRONOUNS stand
Like HE for John, SHE for Jane, IT for hand.

How things are done the ADVERBS tell
Like SLOWLY, QUICKLY, BADLY, WELL.

CONJUNCTIONS join the words together
Like you AND me, wind AND weather.

PREPOSITIONS tell us where things are
Like OVER the hill or UNDER the bar.

When you can say this poem right through
Parts of speech will be easy for you.
