  3. Parts of Speech Poem by Kim Vetter A noun’s the name of anything, As house or garden, hoop, or swing. Instead of nouns the pronouns stand- Her head, your face, his arm, my hand. Adjectives tell the kind of noun, As great, small, pretty, white, or brown. Verbs tell of something to be done- To read, count, sing, talk, laugh, or run. How things are done the adverbs tell, As slowly, quickly, ill, or well. Conjunctions join the words together, As men and women, wind or weather. The preposition stands before A noun, as in or through a door. The interjection shows surprise, As Oh! How Pretty; Ah! How wise. That’s why we learn the parts of speech Which reading, writing, speaking teach. ‘Cause grammar needs to be correct To help you earn the world’s respect.
