Today's forum I'm going to analyze a passage and find each of the parts of speech inside it. The passage I will be using is the quote "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. I chose this topic because the language used is easy to understand and identify which of which. For me, it is best to start at the easiest before jumping on the difficult level. That's why I chose this simple yet full of meaning passage because my knowledge (for now) is limited and can't handle words (jargons) that ain't familiar with me.
Passage:
PARTS OF SPEECH:In the morning it was raining. A fog had come over the mountains. The plateau was dull and gloomy, and the shapes of the trees and the house were changed. I walked beyond the town to look at the weather. The bad weather was coming over the mountains from the sea.
