The Parts of Speech

A “noun” is the name of anything
As “school” “garden”, “boy” or “thing”.

Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As “great”, “small”, “pretty”, “white” or “brown”.

Instead of nouns the pronouns stand,
As “he”, “she”, “us”, “your arms”, “my hand”.

Verbs tell us something being done:
“To read”, “count”, “laugh”, “carry”, “run”.

How things are done the adverbs tell
As “slowly”, “quickly”, “ill” or “well”.

Conjunctions join the words together,
As “man and woman”, “wind and weather”.

The prepositions stand before
A noun, as by or through the door.

The interjection shows surprise,
As “Oh! How pretty! Ah! How wise!”

Three little words you often see
Are articles “a”, “an” and “the”.

The whole are called the parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, teach.
