    Parts of Speech Cheat Sheet

    Nouns identify people, places, things, or ideas.


    Tom and his friend took their books to the library to study history.
    Nouns can be common (cat, brother, city) or proper (Felix, Salt Lake City). They can also
    appear in plural (boys, dogs) or possessive forms (boys, boys, dogs).

    Pronouns substitute for nouns, so we dont have to keep repeating the nouns.
    Toms hair is so long it touches his knees. (As opposed to: Toms hair is so long Toms hair touches Toms knees.)
    Pronouns can be personal (I, you, me, us, him, it, etc.), demonstrative (this, that, these,
    those), relative (that, which, who, whom, whose), interrogative (who, whose, whom,
    which, thatused to ask a question), indefinite (anyone, everyone, nobody,
    something), possessive (my, mine, his, hers, ours, etc.), reflexive (myself, yourself, itself,
    etc.), and reciprocal (each other, one another). The previously stated noun that the
    pronoun refers to is called the antecedent.

    Verbs show action or a state of existence.


    Tonya jogs every day.

    She feels sad.

    He is hungry.

    This stinks.

    Verbs come in many forms (-ing, -ed, to+) and show time (called tense), number
    (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third).

    Adjectives describe, modify, or limit nouns and pronouns.


    The big dog scratched its hairy head. (Big and hairy are modifying the nouns dog and head).
    They were so loud! (Loud is modifying the pronoun they).
    A, an, and the are articles that precede nouns. We generally classify them as adjectives.

    Adverbs describe, modify, or limit verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.


    The really beautiful ballerina leaped very gracefully across the stage.
    (Really is modifying the adjective beautiful; very is modifying the adverb gracefully; and gracefully is modifying the verb leaped).

    Well is most common as an adverb (e.g. I did well on the exam), but well is an adjective
    when it refers to good health (e.g. Despite her surgery, she looks well).

    Prepositions connect and show relationships between nouns and pronouns to


    other words in a sentence.
    They will leave in the morning. (The preposition in shows the relationship between morning and leave).
    She stood on the table. (The preposition on shows the relationship between stood and table).
    Some common prepositions are
    about
    above
    between
    below
    except
    from
    next
    of
    outside
    over

    across
    behind
    in
    off
    up

    after
    beside
    inside
    on
    to

    along
    before
    into
    onto
    toward

    among
    during

    out
    with

    Conjunctions connect words, phrases, or clauses.


    Id like a hamburger and fries, but I dont want a drink.
    She is crying because she stubbed her toe.
    Coffee or tea?
    Coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet) connect independent clauses
    or equal ideas. Subordinating conjunctions (such as after, although, because, if, since,
    while, until) connect dependent or subordinating clauses with independent or main
    clauses .

    Interjections express surprise or pause.


    Man, I love grammar.

    Ouch! That hurt!

    Of course, thats not what he said.

    Interjections are set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma or an exclamation
    point.
