Word Basics: Let's apply
Now that you know the eight parts of speech and how they are used correctly in a sentence, let's see if we can easily identify them in any text.
Instructions:
For this discussion, look at the Parts of Speech resources and choose a few sentences from which you learned something new or that you feel had important information. Then, make a list with some examples of parts of speech used in those sentences.
Share your answer in the class discussion forum and see what your classmates think was important in the Parts of Speech lesson. If you wish, reply to your classmates and share more parts of speech that you can identify in the text they shared.

When we look at prepositions in more detail, we can easily see how they have a special relationship with nouns and pronouns. We already learned that prepositions show a relationship of place, time, or location between nouns and pronouns and the rest of a sentence.
