Parts of Speech Discussion

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

This sentence is often used because it contains every letter of the alphabet, but it's also great for identifying parts of speech. Here's a breakdown of the parts of speech I identified:

• The – Article (a type of determiner)

• Quick – Adjective (describes "fox")

• Brown – Adjective (also describes "fox")

• Fox – Noun (the subject of the sentence)

• Jumps – Verb (the action)

• Over – Preposition (shows the relationship between "jumps" and "dog")

• The – Article

• Lazy – Adjective (describes "dog")

• Dog – Noun (object of the preposition "over")
