Parts of Speech Discussion

Discussion Post: Parts of Speech

From the Parts of Speech resources, these sentences were helpful to me:

1. “A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.”

2. “Adjectives describe or modify nouns and pronouns.”

3. “Verbs show an action or a state of being.”
