One sentence that I found helpful from the Parts of Speech lesson was:
"She quickly ran to the store because it was raining."
From this sentence, I learned how different parts of speech work together to form meaning. Here's a breakdown:
-
She – Pronoun (subject of the sentence)
-
quickly – Adverb (describes how she ran)
-
ran – Verb (action)
-
to the store – Prepositional phrase
-
to – Preposition
-
the – Article
-
store – Noun
-
-
because – Conjunction (joins two clauses)
-
it – Pronoun
-
was raining – Verb phrase (past continuous tense)
