form sentences correctly.

effective.
The 8 Parts of Speech
• • Nouns (names)
• • Verbs (actions)
• • Adjectives (descriptions)
• • Adverbs (modifiers)
• • Pronouns (replacements for nouns)
• • Prepositions (links words)
• • Conjunctions (connects words)
• • Interjections (express feelings)
Nouns – Naming Words
• • People, places, things, or ideas
• • Examples: John, Paris, book, happiness
Pronouns – Replacing Nouns
• • Used instead of a noun
• • Examples: he, she, it, they, we
Verbs – Action Words
• • Show actions or states of being
• • Examples: run, jump, is, was
Adjectives – Describing Words
• • Describe nouns (what kind, how many,
which one?)
• • Examples: happy, big, five, red
Adverbs – Describing Actions
• • Describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs

Prepositions – Linking Words

• • Examples: in, on, under, before, after
Conjunctions – Connecting Words
• • Link words, phrases, or sentences

Building Sentences
• • Sentences have a subject (who/what) and a
verb (action)
• • Example: The dog (subject) runs (verb).
Subject-Verb Agreement
• • The subject and verb must match in number
• • Example: He runs (correct) vs. He run
(incorrect)
Punctuation Basics

• • Comma (,) separates ideas
• • Question mark (?) asks a question
• • Exclamation mark (!) shows excitement
